Aion

this is another flame fest thread, between two sides of people, the ones who know about the game and are following it, and the ones who do not know as much about it, and are naturally gravitated against it due to the ethics of MMO's. I simply will add my flame to this.

This goes to me, and everyone else who will flame to other games, at least read the facts and information, before flaming, and then, do not put a game down on meaningless things that do not really matter, well, thats all I got :)

People are able to hit max level pretty darn fast in AoC and it still doesn't make them happy because it's too fast. I mean gimme a break!

Aion's leveling curve (according to beta testers interviews) seems to be somewhere between WoW and FFXI (or whichever one it was).

Can't make everyone happy, frigging whiners.

That seems like a good sweet spot.  I've been playing ffxi for 5 years, so the "grind" in Aion won't be that bad if you are used to it I guess.  I don't know about you guys, but its kinda annoying when a game launches and you have people max levels within days.  Where is the sense of achievement in that?  You played the game on easy mode it seems.

In ffxi, for a new player it took anywhere from 3 months to a year to reach max level depending on how good you were, the friends you made in game, and how much time you could play.  It would be nice if in Aion to reach max level in a month or two, so you could get to the PvP action a lil quicker.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Square Enix is developing a new mmo as well, It will probably be AIon's biggest rival competition when and if it ever comes out.

No i think not...

We probably won't see the next FF online game for another 3-4 years so plenty of time for Aion.

If anything, it'll be the biggest rival for Lineage 3, assuming they plan on launching around that time.

After watching the FFXIII trailer, I can't imagine what their next online game will have. *Wipes drool*

Aion will creep quietly in and have a niche market all to itself whilst the rest are quitting and resubbing every other month to WOW WAR etc we will be happily content in Aion.

I still think its NA/European Niche is big enough to hit 1m sub's

I recently started tracking this game.  It looks very interesting.  The visuals and gameplay remind me of WoW on steroids.  This can be a good thing if they are trying to capture the attention of the millions of people who are new to mmos via WoW.

It's on my radar to try when it comes out.  But I'm not easily impressed by awesome graphics.  If the content isn' there I'll be gone after the first 30 days.  If it's free to play I won't even try it.

Yea I got this on my bookmark waiting for it to come out...Graphics pretty awesome and cant wait till they go in beta.

Any one know The systems Requirements?

This is win.  I wonder how many subs the game will have.  Asia is a friggin huge market.  And about the community, hopefully it draws a more mature audience, like ffxi.  The community in that game is awesome, and I hope Aion reciprocates that.
