Considering it's only been out for a year, yes as do a few other that find it fun enough. Flight combat is a creative design and so is so is the gathering of aether, then there are the unique transformations in game, and the title uses with stats imbedded. Don't think either company would have done better than it is now, fun is still subjective to each and every person out there and only they can say what is fun and what is not, so far all the servers seem to have a healthy population of players and no major decreases in population yet. Currently playing: Aion Played: L2 RFO EvE R.O.S.E EQ2 HellGate:London TRIBES2 WOW WarHammer |

I don't mind that there's a steep leveling curve tbh. I try to view a game as a game rather than as a job to do. I'll just continue to play casually and enjoy it while I do it. |

For instance: RPGFan gave Aion a 90. They gave World of Warcraft a 95. IGN gave Aion an 85. They gave EQ2 an 85. They gave 9+ for WoW and expasions. They gave LotRO an 8.6. They gave Guild Wars a 9. They gave WAR a 9.
Metacritic ended up with an 8.1 overall for Aion. They gave EQ2 an 8.3. They gave LotRO an 8.6. WoW is over 9. Guild Wars 8.9.
You can go to every single site and do this. And you can find more games on these sites that are above Aion. This site is the only one that is saying that Aion is the best MMO ever made through it's overall "official" score. And it's embarrassing. Unless of course they come out and say that Aion is the finest MMO to ever be produced. But then they would lose even more credibility.

No this site is saying that aion had one of the best polished launches. MMORPG.com review a game when it's launched it's probably if they made a re-review of wow and lotro with their new expansions the rate would be higher but here the rating means most how was the game launched when released.

You are not thinking clearly. Aion had a smooth launch and what it promised was already there working, yes there were small stuff here and there to fix and they still need to fix bots and gold spam problem but you could play normally if you could get pass the queue time. While some other games (better not name them or some could QQ) didn't work well and took weeks to fix before people could play the game well. For me if you can launch a game that has very few bugs/glitches at launch it already deserves a higher rate then one that took weeks or a month to fix before it could be playable.

To me, in order to hold the #1 spot anywhere you need to have a lot more than a smooth launch. Actually, a smooth launch should in my opinion have absolutely nothing to do with the rating on a game.
Even if a reviewer was giving a review and wanted to include LAUNCH as one of his categories, the other categories would bring the overall number down. There really is nothing #1 about this game at all. Not even graphics.

kind of surprised by the rating, 8.7 seems pretty high for this game. Felt more like a 7 to me, the graphics are great, the classes are kind of interesting but the grinding later on is a huge detraction for me. Its basically the cap that I hit and then stop playing because grinding on mobs is dull without some kind of shade of questing. |

A smooth launch is rather easy when the game was already out for a year in the east. :) I wonder if anyone could tell us how well the original launch went? |

"It seems like customer support in the game is pretty awful." I'd go from 'prety awful' to near non existant. The forums are irrelevant as no one from NCsoft ever posts there, new posts in a thread dont bump the thread to the top, and the only moderation is in the form of deleted posts. They have either no GMs in-game or they have the worst GMs ever. My sub is frozen now and will remain so until the company gets its act togther. |

New posts do not bump threads and the only moderation is deleting threads? That is just taking the piss. |
