Not exactly sure how to relay them info, but I'd be willing to give NCSoft $14.99 for at least a few months if they would drop the box cost a bit.  The game is nearing what, one year old and it's still $50?

it's been too expensive form the first day of launch tbh.

Half a game should have cost half the money.

Shiny purple armor costs a lot more than chain mail or unpainted steel.

A price drop is about due; everyone I've tried to get to come play with me has ended up not wanting to pay the box price for the title when the reactions and reviews on the game are so mixed.

 I just went there since I had started a trial today and enjoy the game but it is listed at 50 bucks unless I'm missing something?

It was just a temporay offer. If you want to save the money and dont bother about playing today or later look out for holliday offers on random web-shops. They are more predictable.

Oh and btw dont use the same E-Mail (and better off Accountname neither) you used for mmorpg.com and especially curse network sites for your NC account unless you really want to get spam mail every week once the regular data "losses" occured.

And if you posted your E-Mail in publicity in one of the trial invitation threads on these websites to gain a invitation it would be better of to delete it as they get parsed for mailsadds either even though less regular.

 Thanks for the quick reply.  I guess I will just wait for the price to come down.

Amazon has it for $25 occasionally, right now it's $31. 

Buying it used on Amazon is pretty tempting. But can you really buy an MMO used and expect to get a working key?

Dont chance buying any mmo used.  Aion is definitely worth the box of $30 if you can get it fresh.  There is such great depth and breadth within the content of this game to keep one engaged for a bit, its worth it.  A bit for me with Aion was about 2-3 months. :) 

I actually considering a return to Aion after playing prettymuch everything else without finding anything I like better. I actually really enjoyed Aion just didn't have the time to play it the way I wanted to. The problem is a I gave my original account away. Trying to find a cheap route back.

If they have a price drop I would expect it to come after 1.9 comes out with the game improvements which "should" be in May, so maybe a price drop mid summer? 

Whenever i start a new MMO i just buy the cd key - alot cheaper that way. Aion CD key for the US version is just 24$ on g2play.net
