I have played WoW for about 6 months now, but decided it was time to move on. I am interested in AION, but I have some questions:

 

1) If I buy the collectors edition  right now, can I still get the new wings and the collectors items?

2) Does the music have the same kind of "Epic feeling" as WoW?

3) I heard some people complaining that the view distance is too short, is that true?

1. Yes, if you can find a CE you still get the benifits of it (except open beta access, obviously)

2. The music is good. However the best epic music Ive heard was in AoC..I suggest you check that game out if you want a great soundtrack

3.Ive no problem with the viewdistance. Its defaulted medium range and you can expand it if your computer as the power

The music is much more epic (most of it anywyas), but it does have one or two annoying tracks that pop up from time to time.  Overall, I think the music is better than that of WoW, and sets more of a cool atmosphere.  I run the game with view distance turned all the way up on one pc and halway up on the other,  I did't notice any view distance problems on either.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast for I intend to go in harm's way.

1)  Yes, you can upgrade your existing account with the collector's edition items for an additional $10 through NCSoft.

2)  The music is definatly epic.  At the same time it has a different feel.  WoW, for instance, has music I would expect involving a game that centers around a small group of players romping through dungeons (which most of it is).  Whereas Aion's music has the more epic anime war feel to it.  It has an Asian flare to the music and I imagine seeing armies of cartoon warriors clashing. 

3)  Not sure on this one other than you can change it if you want.  I don't mess with view distance all that much.  My eyeballs are too busy oogling the pretty graphics around my character.

Well, you boys and girls have fun.  I'm going to go listen to my CE Aion soundtrack now :)

Music is off so..

View distance is very short yes.. thats a big issue. You can change it, but the distance at wich you will be seeing incoming enemies is still short.

About the collectors edition yes you still get the stuff.
