Doesnt really suprise me if the game does drop. The game is good, but its a bit to slow on to get to the pvp side of things. For all that WAR failed on, being able to pvp from lvl 1 was one of my favorite features. I unsubbed because i just cant do a game with a heavier leveling curve anymore, and I ended up not liking the class I picked and the prospect of rerolling and getting back to where I was is depressing. |

I'm assuming the ranking is High>Low>Recommended. I have no idea what numbers they represent and never did say what numbers they represent. |

On Europe 11 servers are full, so it can't be that bad, considering it is not yet "rush hour". |

This wasn't worth the effort the OP took to type it. It's basically FAIL. Really? A 12:30am shot of servers showing 'recommended'? Please...

One would think that at 10:30pm at least one of the West Coast servers would be high.

Remember also they are upgrading servers to hold more people per server so wouldn't be surprised if it dropped to "recommended" or "low" due to increase in capacity. Originally posted by salsa41 |

Xfire numbers showed a general decline for everyone over the last few days to a week and I haven't seen an update from MMOdata for the end of this month yet but the bottom line is until I see a significant decrease in subs or activity, I'm sure as hell not going to take the word from someone who is disgruntled for whatever reason and my guess is still playing, and decided to post on the boards after seeing "recommended" as opposed to "full" on the servers 1) at 12:30am CST, 2) After the servers have been upgraded to stop queue times. 3) After additional servers have been added. 4) When "recommended" is only a generalization telling us it's not "high" and not some sort of serious measurement of capacity. Seriously....

Have to agree on every word,. I can most often feel a part of the community happily wait for a game to realse so they can begin to bash it. And for what? Make some random user upset or to create a name for themself on a forum? Or becuse they have waited so long for the game to fix their mmo fix :) ?
It happend to TR, AOC, WAR, LOTRO, DFO and now Aion. I guess it will happen to Fallen Earth as well when the mob will learn that there is quite many players that truly enjoy the game. Sad indeed, but quite funny to see as well.

Originally posted by Furor I know 4 people personally who have effectively binned the game, as did I. Pitifully shallow, simplistic game, same old quests, same old levelling system, no replayability whatsoever, yet they expect people to pay for it! It's everything people have complained about when they grumble that game designers just warm up a rehash of existing game mechanics, then serve it up as groundbreaking and interesting. I'm not surprised the server populations are plummeting either, as modern gamers are far less inclined to be happy with a "copy/paste" game that has been tarted up with some eye candy. |

I am quite sure in the long run Aion will loose a big chunk of their players. Aion is just too much still of an Asian grinder. |

I believe you are mistaken or simply cant read. We've already come to the conclusion that the empty servers is a lie. The fact is the servers are still full and bustling with happy players =) Nothing you can say will change that

I didn't know there was a 'High'. I thought it was just Low, Recommended and Full. |

XFire peak for Aion was around 81k hours. Now it has dropped to around 41k. So about a 50% drop in played hours but keep in mind that other games, like Champion Online, dropped to 1/6th of its peak after one month. By that regard I would say the game is going pretty well but a WoW contender it is not. |

Aion is dead, etc. etc. Nothing to see here move along. You will have the remaining leftover players who think its amazing, just like the half-braindead remaining AoC players. Leave them be! They did nothing to hurt you. -Computer specs no one cares about: check. -MMOs played no one cares about: check. -Xfire stats no one cares about: check. -Signature no one cares about: check. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

It's such a shame, I loved this game in CB, but only got to level 16. When I hit 20 after release, the grind really kicked in. I made it to 25 but I have no compulsion to login, ever. I just canceled my account. |
