Aion finally received enough hits this past week to become the #1 game on MMORPG.com over the past year. Only time will tell just how long this little gem can shine.

Congrats!

Remember, if it's #1 on MMORPG.com, it must be great, especially since it toppled that great game we all know and love, WAR.

This could turn it around for Aion.

Incase you couldn't tell, he was being sarcastic.

Yeah there is something not quite right about the MMORPG game rankings...

The most popular games are low on the list and WAR (of all games) was listed as number 1. Anyone else see a problem with that?

We'll see what happens in the next 3 months, after the hype and inital free months run out how many people stay

It wasn't that apparent.

Pff, WAR

I can never take anything Rhoklaw says serious anyway, he changes games like most people change shoes, he is a bandwagon buckaneer. I would just block him but it is so much fun to read his BS at times.

Nice wow avatar Rhoklaw, see you finally traded in your signature WAHHHHHH! Avatar for a nice shiney wow one.

gg.... gg

Regarding the number of hits, not the game rating...in case anyone is asking WTF?

Your right, I do play a lot of MMO's... mainly because a lot of game developers are idiots. If there was a perfect MMO, we'd all be playing it, but guess what, it will never exist because every player has different ideas about the perfect MMO. So with that in mind, you can take your high horse and sleep in the barn tonight for all I care. I'm not here to impress the masses, but rather point out facts. In case you haven't noticed, I'm one of the few people who post here that refuses to post crap like, this game sucks or this game rules.

As for the WoW avatar, it's an avatar and no, I don't play WoW anymore and most likely won't ever go back considering Blizzard makes more money off it than most 3rd world countries make in a decade. Blizzard has become greedy, just like SOE and it won't be long before WoW finally gets the lack of attention it's destined to receive, hence Blizzards new mystery MMO.

As for WAR, oh well, guess thats what Mythic Entertainment gets for joining the MMO killing behemoth EA. So just because I promoted what should have easily been a kickass game, but ends up being worse than their flagship MMO DAoC, I'm now a bandwagoneer player? Give me a break.

DAoC will always be my favorite MMO but Mythic Entertainment refuses to fix obvious major flaws and now its basically dead. Before that, EQ was the only game I felt was worthy of being called an MMORPG. Every other MMO I've played since pretty much entertained me for 3-6 months and faded away.

As for Aion, it's the closest thing to DAoC to venture into the MMO industry. Darkfall is a joke and AoC was a complete disaster. I don't know why it's so hard to figure out a good PvP system in MMO's but Aion is by far superior to DF or AoC.

There you have it, Skydragonren's reason for ignoring me. Cause I tend to BS less on forums and play more in-game. Yet, somehow, I'm being labeled a bandwagoneer cause I move from MMO to MMO as if anything I have to say changes how the game develops.

WAR having that many hits just shows how much it was hyped on this website.

My point to you is this, some gamers really do have crystal balls. Many of us and I do mean many of us have called the failures out on most MMO's released in the last 2 years.

AOC - Hyped to oblivion and back, Avery used to hype this game like the second coming of christ. We tried to warn and he wouldn't listen. Failed.

WAR - Hyped to oblivion and back, You hyped this one and backed it very hard. We tried to warn you on this one also. Failed.

Darkfall - Not so much hyped as much as vigorously defended for over 2 months solid, after release but YEARS before that, even though we knew the game would be garbage. Noone would listen. Failed.

I also don't want to hear the argument of what constitues a failure, (I know you don't do this) but from others.

To me if a game loses over 50% of it's player base within the first 2 months of release. You failed. On some level somewhere you failed your playerbase.

AoC, WAR, and Darkfall all did this. In the case of AOC is was more like 70% of the playerbase.

Which brings us to present day AION. AION is nothing more than a shiney new wrapper on an already very stale market. It does nothing and is nothing new. It attempts to bridge the gap between the western world and the east. Is it a good game, who knows I guess some like it. Will it stick around, sure it will the above 3 mentioned games are still here. Though on many levels are considered massive failures by most.

Will AION fail. Not completely, but It isn't going to be some megahouse MMO for the next decade either. Which is how it is being hyped on this site.

Just like AOC, WAR, DARKFALL and the others, AION will be sitting in the corner in 3-4 months time with the others, wondering what went wrong.

Please feel free to bookmark this post, so in 3 months when I laugh at you all, we can refer back to it.

Stay off the bandwagon, just because it's new doesn't mean you have to play it.

Aion was just released.  WoW is years old.  This place if full of bored wow-heads looking for anything new.  Shouldn't be suprised at this.

 its number 4 in xfire 

and not because it couldnt be higher but player are stubborn they wait for x server instead of rerolling on another so aion would probably be on 3 or 2 spot if it wasnt because of that 

still far from wow ,but then no game card time at ebgame or walmart hurt sale a lot 

not a lot of gamer will buy a game when you need credit card to play it ,because ncsoft didnt send time card for aion

I was expecting WAR to be similar to DAoC, unfortunately, it wasn't...

Aion has what WAR failed to deliver, so I'm guessing as long as the PvP portion remains true, it will do just fine...

How do you know this though unless you played the game to level 50? 

These threads are so stupid.  I like the game, doesn't mean it will be successful.
