Yes, I will.

I have played closed beta and open beta and there's still so much to discover that this game has my attention. To all those people that find it a boring grindfest and a wow-copy.  Don't play mmorpg's if you don't like the genre. I don't play fps, because I hate the kind of games. Aion is a smooth, nice looking MMO as it should be in my opinion. And I love MMO's!

I like the game. Best thing that's out there ATM.

The people who play and enjoy Aion will be the people who played and enjoyed oldschool games like EQ, DAOC, and UO and are looking for a more polished and up-to-date experience in an MMO, 

 

no . 

 

Aion may be up to date, yes for sure, but it isn't next-gen at all. I suppose, it is a good MMO to play is you wanna be up to date, but if you're looking for something new and innovative, Aion isn't it.

 

Look more opinions.

Let me guess, the 'graphics' aren't up to your expectations? Or is it too 'linear' for you? Or maybe it has too much 'grind' for you? Oh wait I know, it doesn't have some 'new' thing that will impress you? I'm so happy people with these problems will NOT be playing Aion.

 

Actually, I do have Aion preordered and will be playing on the Siel Server on September 20th, and I'll be participating in the pre-select on September 18th as well.

However, I just want to be honest, I want to point out Aion's problems for those who are clueless about Aion's many issues. In addition, I'm one of the few who can get past Aion's many issues such as the "not next-gen thing." Isn't much of an issue since Final Fantasy XIV and Star Wars: TOR will definitely be next gen.

Aion is kinda that filler MMO that you play to pass time for the next-gen MMOs. And for an up-to-date MMO like Aion, I'm at least impressed, I'll probably be playing Aion for the next 5 to 7 years until Lineage III comes out.

I hope it does not take Lineage 3 that long to come out. Its supposed to be revealed in 2011 so I am thinking 2012.

I'll be playing.

I enjoyed the closed beta, the open beta and the opportunity to play something different.

I'll play at release, now will i play in a long run, i'll have to see how it goes at lv 30/50, and also see how they made the game evolve with the patches.

I will be playing it.  It does sound like a solid game as far as gameplay goes.  I must say i do not do well in PVP and i am sure i will be dead meat along the way lol.  But i do like the idea of having to group up to play this game as i really like to play the roll of healer and look forward to it.  On a passing note Tanks are my best friend lol.

Yes, I have the collectors edition ordered.  To me with what I have seen and done within the beta's, this is the MMO that will keep me buy for quite a while.  And I'm really looking forward to the full game to start progressing in.

Yes I'll be playing it while wishing I had a computer that could actually run it the way it should.  What I got now is ok for solo PvE, but any large scale stuff and it dies :(

After playing 3 years of WOW and 2 months of LOTRO, I wanted to check this game also ... Good advertisement made for the game ....

I installed, played for 2 hours or so then deleted the game ... Its definitely not true to analyze a game only after 2 hours of playing but ....

When I see a game like this, the levelling, gaining xp (maybe double xp if u rest a while like others I dont know if this game have it also lol), questing system, tracking quests, going a point on a big map ... Oh If I were younger and not played games before like diablo, wow, everquest, ultima and so maybe I had chance to play this game and try enjoy ... But these types of games made and still these games are the market leaders lol ... A few stylish attack moves or new sound effects or even better graphics not gonna made ppl to change the game they are playing ... Some ppl ofc gonna change for better graphics or for cute lady characters lol ... But most probably they gonna change AION for another similar game with better graphics later ...

I not gonna play AION for sure :)

Still debating on whether to play or not. I played a great deal during CB and when OB came around I had no desire to re-level a toon through the same old thing. I am wondering if I want to do that on release too.

Undecided but I did very much enjoy the game during CB.

Well, i must say that i had always a very bad feeling about this game, which is why i never tried the CBs (while i believe i beta tested every damn game i played since EQ1 back in 98), my biggest turndown being Lineage II of where i spent closely one year grinding my fingers off (yeah i was a student back then so yeah i had time to grind for 10+ hours a day, if not 15).

Seeing many people fighting objectively for the game, and giving interesting comments on gameplay and how this game was different than L2, i gave a go to the Open Beta (thx some nordic site for a freebie beta key). And i must say that the gameplay, the lore, the dialogues and the quests were quite funny and interesting, maybe not as funny as EQ2 or some in GW but much better than anything i've seen in WAR/AOC/DAOC or whatever (and no, i didn't play wow besides a quick solo to lvl 40, was probably the most boring game i ever played, and i believe i did all of em since UO, well for the major ones at least, ok, besides AC1).

+ factor is that the wife's totally hooked to it, created 5 characters and is crazy bout her Chanter.

So yeah, i'm going to play, will definitely not buy the CE, cuz i find it worthless but at least the game (2 copies via DD prolly).

Only question is : Wth to do with the Chanter Oo ?

1) Glad / Warlord (they were gimped in high end L2, but again it's a diff game so i dunno)

2) Ranger ? (I'm a bow class freak but well for duoing...) or Sorc ? 

3) Get real and do a real tank.

If anybody has a good experience on this, could u plz send me your advice by PM ? Cuz i really don't have the time unfortunately to look deeply into things.

Out of the subject, i also started CO which is quite a refreshing experience, even if it's totally unbalanced for PVP (i mean u either go for munitions/archery/regen/TP combo or go for a healer who flies) at lower lvls, gets better later on tho.

Anyway thx to the folks here who had real arguments for AION, i would definitely never have put my nose in it otherwise.

For once i want to go to max level, based on the beta's so far, it gone from good to great for me, doing the CB.

Dident play the OB, im waiting for the EA to take action, i sure will play this game till the end, and not quit like i did half way in AoC and War, I hope that aion brings some of the first feelings i got when i played Lineage 2.

- One

tried it on onpen beta and realy liked it , but i dont think i'll play it at the release because i want to see how it will evolve , and because i wont have much time with school going on

Nope.  Already did a thread on why I think it's a generally boring and uninspired game, so no need to repeat here.  I'll be in Fallen Earth mostly for at least the next few months.

ill be playing , its the only cool fantasy mmo i found that kept me so into it. only game that looks cooler is GW2 but NC soft wont release that untill next year

I think this MMO will hold me over until The Secret World gets released.

I think the closed and open beta is good, maybe when it is launched, I can find more good things, and I'l say it's a great game!

Yes, because it performs remarkably well and has good combat (I'm also extremely burnt out on WoW).

That's what people don't understand. People are burned out in WoW, they want another MMO, whether it is a WoW clone or not. Aion is a hidden clone of WoW, but nevertheless, we want something other than WoW and right now Aion seems like it is it. We thought it was Age of Conan, Warhammer, but it seems as if Aion will take down WoW.

I mean most of us are just sick of WoW and looking for something....not new, but something. Aion is something.

i am going through withdrawal from Aion. can't wait for the charector reservation in the very least! boyfriend and i will be purchasing the his and hers CE's online and also getting a few to distribute to friends and family members as well. i didn't even really try to lvl or make g with the open beta but i came away satisfied with the fact that i lvled fairly easily, and upkeep for skills, armor and weapons was a breeze. i found it absurdly funny that the economy made it easy to accrue vast sums of g (god, i love the private store option...perfect for bio breaks!).
