Don't know if anyone cares, just a interesting fact.

Aion have been running for a few month in Taiwan.  Right now, 12 out of the 17 server have restricted character creation for the Elyos(good) side.  While there is no restriction for Asmondians(evil) side on any of the server.  I predict it'll happen for the US server too.

very much likely yes, except asmodians being the dominant i think.

Aion have been released for about a year pr so I think. and last numbers I heard they have about 3+ million subscribers in Asia alone.

By western standards for MMO's I would say they are fairly successful over there :P

Do you have an official link to prove those numbers? Just asking because no one has come up with one.

Less than a year. If I'm not mistaken it launched in Korea past November. Also the 3.5M number must have been a blogger's mistake that's been duplicated by eager fans. No official numbers were issued by NCsoft, beyond the 1.5M or so ones some time ago.

Beyond that, yes, the game is fairly successful in the east. But since we're part of the west, it pays to wait for a couple of months, just in case the game is not received as well as some of the fans are hoping for.
