Originally posted by ControlZero He said this MMO has more customization and flight that sets it apart from other MMOs. I would add to that, the open world PVP (that actually works, unlike warhammer) and the graphics quality also set it apart. It's easy to troll his post by making your little smart ass comment, but what parts of his statement do you think shows he hasn't played any other MMOs? Please be specific. Being specific means telling us what other MMOs have flight and allow the amount of character customization that Aion does.
Thanks for the assist. Now keep in mind that there are some games out there (WoW, CoV/CoH, etc.) where flight exists, but not in a way as unique as AION. In AION not only is it free flight, but it's part of your body, not an item that you go get. Also, it might be worth mentioning that AION just received the Best Online Game award at GameCon.
Well i couldnt stay difrent to this topic, but the guy definitly didnt play much other mmo's :S

The problem is : North Americans, wich include USA, Canadians and Mexicans folks think that if one MMORPG isn't successful in North America, then it's not successful... I'm sorry my dear North Americans friends, the world do not turn just around North America, there's other countries wich are much bigger in size with a much larger population playing MMORPGs. If one game isn't popular in North America, but is in Asia... it is still successful. Aion is successful in Asia at the moment, so stop asking if it will be successful here... nobody knows until it's out of beta and in everyone's hands! I do not belive in ghosts, therefore I will not belive in mediums either.... and we have way too many mediums-wannabe in the MMORPGs community. Now playing : Rift |

Well i couldnt stay difrent to this topic, but the guy definitly didnt play much other mmo's :S YES those games have FLIGHT but not as a combat ENabled form, it is just anouther form of travel like WoW.. That flight Isnt the same as AIONs and thats what the original poster ment by flight.. the fact that u can fight in Mid air to ground units and such.. in flyff u cant do Air to ground or ground to air .. in FLYFF its AIR to AIR and Ground to Ground no whereas Aion is basicaly and battleground of X,Y,Z |

I do not think Aion will be the success has mentioned on these boards. I can only speak for the EU(UK) market, so far Aion is travelling well below the radar, no advertisements, no features, previews in the big PC games magazines or online sites. Compare that with AoC and WAR and the WoW, LOTRO expansions you would get regular updates on the progress upto the release. A couple of months before release you would get big features (monthly in the mags) telling you about these games. I know only of Aion due to reading these boards, none of my friends know anything about it. Just my opinion but Aion will be lucky to reach half the amount of box sales compared with WAR and AoC at release (UK). Hopefully word of mouth will increase the games subs over the long term and the euro game sites and mags pick the game up and give it some much needed press. Just one more thing. To the people who state that Aion should have the best MMO launch in the western market for the last few years, I agree. If it don't the devs need a good slapping. You cannot compare launchs like LOTRO, WoW, WAR and AoC etc to Aions launch, it's been released in Asia for nearly a year, most of the normal launch problems and bugs should have been sorted in that time. In that time it should be in a polished and nearly bug free state. Lastly I do hope the game is a success. Myself I'm going to wait a few weeks after launch before I decide to buy it, I've been burnt a few times these last few years rushing to buy a MMO on launch day. |

I can't see this game being massively popular in the west after the first few months. People from wow will go back for the expansion, many will get bored of the same old thing and being ganked by no-life hardcore players.
The fact that the game was released in Korea a while ago hurts its image in the west since a lot of people assume its yet another Korean grinder, and tbh they aern't really wrong.
