Lol, it won't kill anything. Five stars for being a positive cheerleader though.
 

nobody knows!

why?

ncsoft and pvp have done good together in the past 

dont believe me !go play guild wars!

so saying this game wont do good when ncsoft has organised in gw some of the biggest tournament

in mmo pvp would be ludicrous!

this game doesnt have the potential by it self to be big

but dont ever forget its ncsoft we talk about!they will probably have tournament in this game etc

a la guild wars!

i dont think ncsoft will release this game and then just let it float on the current!

they will activelly organise something in the futur

 

NCSoft didn't make guildwars...areanet did.  NCSoft just published.  So your argument is kinda weak....

As to what?  I'm not being rude or anything, but comparing a game that is number one, to a game like aion that a few people say is number one is on topic, I would think :P.

Anyways, this game will have a large number of players at release, and as I said, 1 to 3 months later many will leave when they find they just don't enjoy it as much as they thought.  The first month is critical in holding not only what they have, but gaining more subs.

Look back at War and AoC. Look how their numbers for the first month blew wows numbers out of the water for the first month.  If those games could have HELD those numbers, the game would have continued up in subs because friends of people who wish to play together, would have joined also.

Aion might have some asian numbers, and they might have around 500k the first month.  But I think the whole asian theme mmo will keep people away, even if they are ignorant of the game itself and how it works.  I've played MMOs for years, and know a large number of players. Outside the "MMO Hoppers" (any game that comes along they try, than quit, and go back to their mmo of choice), very few are even thinking about Aion.

hehe lol, its not gonna kill wow.. but we can always hope.. personaly i think it has a very decent chance of taking alot of players from war and aoc.

aion is the best mmo i have tryed so far and i really hope it will be epic win.

But even if Aion does kill WoW, Lotro, AoC, and War you will still be the same pathetic loser you are right now so what exactly is your point?

You don't get extra credit for liking something that someone else accomplished.  You only get credit for things that YOU accomplish.

Even WoW itself was not an MMO killer. I don't know of one game that went out of business directly because of the competition WoW placed on it when it came out. If a game ever does come out that will appeal to all gamers to the killing of other games, then we should all worry, because something is in the kool-aid.

/agree.

Does anyone actually think that any one game will hurt wow? Aion will be another insect upon wow's body but wow won't die until blizzard replaces it. Does not help nothing but crap has been released lately. I have left wow at least 5 times for a few months each time but always come back because my friends and wife still enjoy it.

Yeah what the fish said! Little extreme but ok. Lets go with that.

Aion will definetly NOT destroy aion, it probably won't even dent it much either.

However, games like WAR will be in trouble since it's already on shaky grounds, AOC might be in a bit of trouble too but once that new expansion comes back AOC will be back to where it used to be.

Just my guesses =P

what makes wow impossible to kill is its player base, theyre the brainless zombie masses that follow along with the crowd, they keep telemarketers and door to door pudding salesmen in buisiness.  theyre the kind of people who dont vote and dont care, the ones that eat fast food and wonder why they get fat ect ect.  no to kill wow yould have to dumb them down even further

Graphics better than aoc. I must be playing a different aion. Mine has mountains that look like water colors and cartoony graphics,and no it is not my pc. I have everything maxed.

Aion is a good MMO.  I happen to think it is better than most but it is still an MMO and has most of the MMO elements that other games have.

Its more of an RPG than the amusement park MMO feel that WOW puts out.

Someone said Aion has better than AoC graphics? You played AoC on low video setting, thats for sure.

I like Aion and going to play at launch but honestly Age of Conan is still has best graphics in MMORPG world.

And my opinion Aion really good game, getting nice access at west but not good enough for  1st place on list.I think WoW will stay first for long time, Aion can get second line on list. We will see..

The performance is better than Age of Conan, and it is more beautiful than aoc, but I agree, the graphics aren't better on a technical level.

O come on AoC looks like some Euro trash artist threw up crayons on canvas splotchy trees, flora and fauna, washed out mountains that look like the scrappings of a surrealists underwear

The only thing done well in AoC and I mean the only thing is the avatars have slightly more detail than Aions - however Aions avatars actually move and do funny things like catching fish in ponds etc, swatting at flies and such.

Anyhow back to WOW with its 200k subs after launch Aion's has surpassed WoW's launch stats and I think we can be sure it will surpass WoW's numbers on a year by year basis if they keep the quality of the game up.

1999 - Just another EQ clone

2004 - Just another WoW clone

2009 - Just another Aion clone

Personally I am playing Aion, because I was tired of hard nerfs in WoW, it has gotten to a point earning stuff means nothing because a few hours to a day later another person has the same thing you have when in the past it took serious back breaking long months for some to kill shit to get what you got now everyone else can go in there and mop it up with ease because blizzard feels it was too hard.

Aion I hope will always stay challenging like its suppose to be in higher lvl content, the way Aion, is now I approve of it none of that face rolling pvp shit you have in WoW, not as easy to own someone this time around you actually have to use skill.

mm that crown is to eq2 (still)

most cant max graphic in eq2 ,andd eq2 as developed server lag when you move

to the tune of 1.5 k to 4.5 k

but graphic in eq2  are the best i saw and i dont even have physicx yet add physicx and most game look lame

plus they ll add shader 3 in december 

i sure would love to see a video comparo about aoc with max setting and EQ2 at max setting we could see wich look the best at max  setting (yes incuding physic x)

Everyone will continue to enjoy his/her own game. Nice to know there are so many games to chose from with more on the horizon!

Why do games have to kill each other.  Why does it even really matter.  A game comes out, if you like it, play it.  If you don't like it then say what you will, but even if any MMO games close up shop, will they ever say what the reason was behind it?  Of course not, so why bother trolling into a subject that will never produce any real infomration?  I'm suprised there isn't a rash of DDO posts saying how it's going to kill Free Realms,, lol.
