Yep will be playing Live the moment it goes that way - have pre-ordered.

Played on Closed beta 5 and 6, and all through open beta. Too many comparisions with ex-wowers really - its a different game, but both based on EQ. AION is polished, rounded, balanced and a good ride. The PVP element is interesting, the PVPVE element more so. The PVE is exciting and inticing - you can feel the guild wars pedigree oozing though at points, most notably during cutscenes.

After the stagnation of WOW following Burning Crusade and then the rather lack-luster WOTLK, and the disappointing showings with LOTR, WAR and AOC I'm very happy to say that the EQ clone kind of MMORPG now has something to call new, stable and niche.

We shall see if the playerbase can be held onto, hopefully it won't conist of the typical raider from WoW, or no doubt their kind will eventualy spoil what is an orginal take on the genre. Sorry WoW-Raiders but you guys kinda suck all the fun out of MMO for me :-)

2) it's a decent game. There are many things I don't like about it, but it's a honest decent game.

3) After playing Aion for just 5 days, going to raid in WoW looks very boring. And believe me I was totally hyped about WoW wotlk raids.


lol, im kinda suprised that you will be playing Aion :D

hope you have fun

Buddy, sorry to tell you aion is a overhyped korean grindfest. NCSOFT is already having problems with the game creating unessacery files in your computer. Aion is the next AoC Warhammer etc.. all those games where hyped and never ready for release. If you want a real mmo play WoW. This is coming from a lvl 34 Elyos Mage. The game burns out after lvl 10. Dont waste your time.

He might be playing on Chinese Server.  so according to his post, AOC, Warhammer, and Aion are overhyped games.  How about  SWTOR, FFXIV, and STO????  Are they overhyped,too?  I would like to hear from him or people who said overhyped games are bad,  what's their view on those 3 games???

if my preorder key (which I won in a contest on mmorpg.com) will continue through for one free month..then Im ALL for playing during launch..but if it doesnt..boo hoo..

 

I abolutely loved this game...I played for like 8 hours straight and was able to reach lvl 10..which is amazing because in WOW...it takes a good hour or 2 to get to lvl 10 so Aion is a really good grind game that held my attention :)

ok for the last time aion doesn't have forced pvp yes there are zones with "rifting" pvp zones but you can go to other zones without rifting <pvp> you can lvl from 1 to 50 without pvp if you dont want too. the new patch 1.5 added this just so you know.  but with a pvpve kinda game would be kinda dumb to play the game if you dont like pvp. but thats just my 2 cents i love pve and love pvp so yea i will be there. again for the tards aion does not have forced pvp.

Will be playing. I weighed the positives and negatives and the positives outweigh the negatives enough to keep me busy until Secret World or something else I care about comes out.

PROS
----
- Flight is AMAZING, physics of gliding, etc, are fun all on their own
- Thinking three dimensionally is fun, Mr. Spock
- Characters look unique and the graphics are lovely (except terrain)
- The dark vs. light scenario is fun. I always enjoy smashing things for the powers of darkness ><p
- The quests have been well-written and entertaining post level 10, so far.
- Its going to be fun to play with my real life friends.
- I enjoy the classes and I think I'll be quite entertained trying a few different ones using multiple builds.
- Hopefully the tricky PvP and buggy beta scared away most of the 13-year-old WoW Night Elf Rogue idiots.

CONS
----
- Not a lot of non-essential details. I prefer games that have more "useless" items, events, places, and detailed cities. Maybe the later ones will be more interesting.
- Ground textures are -ugly-. (Perhaps they are addressing this in the patch?)
- All the female voices are ridiculous.
- PvP quality will depend on the server playerbase.

Sadly i won't :/

It turned me down a bit on some of it features (a lot lineage-like, I cannot fly for as much as i would want to and i find it even pathetic for my self to look for some high place or big stairs in order to jump and glide for a few secs in order to think "look i am flying" :P,even the in flight controls are kinda hard making it useless in pvp, no underwater gameplay and it sucks more cause u can die in a few secs if you make the mistake to jump in the water and u even loose exp for that..and yes loosing exp on death isn't the best death penalty i would like in a game) but actually i dont have such a big problem with these things.The real problem is that nothing impressed me and i was kinda bored..  i was leveling my toon  in order to see what the game has to offer on later levels and i didn't find something..So i am still bored, spending my time on these forums and still looking for an MMO to play..I guess i will give champions online a try since it seems interesting and a lot of people are making good comments about it...

Not till a few weeks after release. Just not enough money right now. Exciting time for games right now, can't wait to try it!

Yah I've decided to play this game because Champions failed to hold it's novelty fun after about level 10, and WoW definitely does not entertain me anymore. This seems like a good compromise till FFIV, Diablo 3, SWTOR, or Guild Wars. I do love this game though, I am just not sure how long it truly can entertain someone. We will see though.

Not playing because it failed to grab me from the get go.  And yes in 2009, you have literally 5 minutes to make me fall in love or I move on.  MMO space is overflowing with options, I have no time for the " it gets better" crowd.

Probably not, made that mistake with AOC and WAR.  Will probably wait a bit and read all the reveiws.  I know a few of my friends are going to play and want to get their input also before I drop another 50 bucks.

I would suggest you pre-order it, free month of gameplay if you do.

I won't be playing Aion.  I thought the game was just terrible in the sense it offers really nothing new.  It's just more of the same.  And these games have sunk to the point where it's so dumbed down.  Do quests in hub 1, move to 2, move to 3 and then get a quest for your class that sends you back to all three.  Just seemed dumb to me in all regards.  I'm ready for some kind of advancement in these games.  The mass market type of games are killing this genre.

I could go on and on about what I didn't like with Aion but I won't.  The cut-scenes I have to mention though.  They are like watching an old episode of speedracer or something.  It's just horrible and so corny.  Maybe being in my 30's makes me too old for that game.  It just seemed juvenile and childish in almost all regards. 

I hope the people that like the game have fun.  I don't mean to insult what anyone likes.  I just didn't get it I guess.

Will I be playing Aion on release?

No I will not. I will not play it after release unless they add some great PvE aspects. I am not a fan of MMO PvP at all. Since Aions main focus end game is PvP, I am forced to skip this title. I hope it turns out to be a great game for those who like what its offering.

I wont be playing Aion at release. I tried the beta for a few days but didnt really get into it. I'm not saying that it's a bad game there just didnt seem to be anything keeping me playing it. To me it kind of felt like a Asian F2P game. Who knows maybe after a few months if it looks like it keeps going strong I'll give it another go around.

I've noticed a few people were upset that Aion focuses on pvp and are crying about it. IT WAS CLEARLY STATED IT WAS GONNA BE A PVP GAME GET OVER IT. Ty and goodnight

This guys funny...totally wrong in his assumptions, but funny anyway!

I musta been doing it wrong, 8 hrs and I had 4 blues on my chanter and so many greens I was breaking them down for enchanting. Anyway, yeah I'll be playing for sure. Had a 27 temp in CB (rushed too much and missed alot) and a 24 chanter in OB (took the time to explore and enjoy). Love the rush of the PvP (abyss and rift), finding all the new, hidden, off the beaten path places, and rare spawns. Looking forward to hitting my first instance dungeon and helping build a great Legion thats compitent in the entire PvPvE this game offers, as well as looking forward to crafting accross the board.

This game offers so much if your willing to take the time to look for it. So many times people would ask me where I got something only to find out they walked right past it without even looking.

and how is this different from lets say WoW,WAR,EVE,EQ,. I mean come on its an MMO there's always going to be a grind, if grinding turns you off mabey console games are more your genre

Oh and I love the people saying they are not playing this game cause its forced pvp on these forums and even in the OB global channel the moment they found out this was a pvp game all the bitching and crying about how thats stupid and their not going to play it cause they dont like pvp etc. Its been known for quiet sometime that this is a pvp game you need to pvp to get the high end raids.

And side note I know OB attracts allot of people just wanting to play a free game and it at times got to the point where i just switched to my combat channel, I hope upon release that these people go away.
