I am going to have to disagree with you there. I have a current AoC account, 3 level 80's, have done all the raid content including killing Levi, done plenty of sieges on both sides..... basically, I have done everything AoC has to offer. Now having said that, the beta version of Aion that I have been playing the last few weekends (which is not 1.5) is well beyond AoC in content as well as stability. I have not had one crash to desktop while playing Aion, nor have I seen mobs or even complete zones bug out to the point where they are unkill/playable. |

Aion is already successful in the East but the jury is still out in the West. My guess it will be some short-lived success in the West because people need to fill their mmo addiction until they find a better mmo. Aion will reap the glory because everything else is either old or average at best. |

I have alsomuliple 80s done all the raid content and over 100 seiges, currently dont have a problem with zone stabilty and have never had a crash to desk top. And like i said my experience of the last 2 betas was unplayable dur to lag spikes and constant rubebr banding |

AoC failed? OMG ...
I logged into AoC today, the servers were still up. There was still a whole load of people at the traders, I was still constantly running into other players.
Hmmm, I dont get it, AoC seems to be doing fine to me. |

AoC is a failure if you compare it to game as successful as Aion. Aion is the most polished and stable MMO about to be released in the West this century, period. Add in the dynamic gameplay and the large scale smooth PvP you have 3.5mill+ subs in Aisa already. Aion could potentially drive the final nail into AoC and WAR's coffin, this isn't specualtion its a fact - a game can only survive for so long with only ~3 servers. Aion Gives you Wings!!! |

Weird... in actuality... people from AoC arnt going to run to AION... AoC provides an adult atmosphere with a style of pvp thats more realistic... AION = Upgraded WoW. WoW players will run to AION as with many others. WAR would be more reasonable to say it would have to go F2P to stay alive as it's a toned down game to compete with WoW. You completely missed the idea of Nitches.... Some games fill a desire for only 60k people but those 60k have their desires filled... so they arnt going to go play every new hyped MMO(AoC and they have over 100k). WAR also offered a mix of WoW and DAoC but it wasn't really a nitch that competes as it's a little of a few games as opposed to A LOT of one unique experience. So basically what i'm saying is AION will drain from similar games and only present an appeal to the nitch gamers who may be eyeing the market. People who dislike WAR/WOW wont like AION most likely and like all MMO's US steady subs will be 100-200k and the rest are all foriegn.

every game is a grind and AION isn't a bad game it's really good and actually polished... So please stop being biased. "Sometimes people say stuff they don't mean, but more often then that they don't say things they do mean" |

I would hate to correct such an obvious intellectual post, but have you ever heard of LotRO. Arguably one of the smoothest launches of any AAA MMO. |

Lotro was really polished, almost perfect. I think Aion will compete though from experience with both in beta stage.

Name a game that truly deserves to charge monthly ? Please enlighten me into what fits your description of a good game and then explain why you arn't playing it as opposed to downing AION ... repeatedly.

The CORE question is .... HOW many people want to pay 180 dollars a year just to play ONE game ??? Think about it and then be "surprised" ALL mmorpg's can't hold the initial launch figures after 6 months. Polish, graphics, wings, a changed river line and a tree etc ... have nothing to do with it. The above underlined question is the BASIS for ALL western based subscriptions. Free internet Korean café play OR initial free month play is NOT the basis, it is the 180 dollars a year charge for one game that makes the difference. Next time before making claims of "millions" of players, think about it ... That question above is the ANSWER to the OP. |

I dont care for your excuses as to why not when the facts are simple... you arn't playing them or giving them any money. Regardless to what you say about this title that I most likely wont even play you're wrong. Your giving an opinion and trying to pass it as fact or law when it's not. just stfu and understand that you cant be pleased because your immature and your standards are too high... rather then doing something about it though you just like to talk on forums and pretend your ideals are something special.

How many subscribers does an MMO need to have to 'succeed', again? Is even two thousand insufficient if it happens to sustain that number for ten frickin' years? Let's get a definition going, shall we? Saerain Tested: 53 titles | Saerain Approved: EVE, VG, LotRO, AoC, SB |

In reality? It really depends on where the company's break even point is at. I believe anything over 100k subscribers is pretty good for most games. On these forums? 1-2 million, maybe? Bioware did not make Knights of the old Republic 2. |
