That is pretty much 99% of every game ever written. So not only is your question rhetorical, its either flame bait or just annoying. I am so sick of people posting obvious flame bait questions. Get a life, do something along your level like watch grass grow. I'm not a person to normally be a smartass but jesus dude, that had to be one of the most ignorant questions I've ever heard anyone ask. You want us to tell you how to play your game? Read the manual. Uh read the forums. Read something. Role play, craft something, explore, whatever. Do something besides ask stupid questions you don't really want a answer to. You just want to argue. Well I'm not going to argue with you. Argue with yourself. Have a great day. Thats my 2 cents worth, your mileage may vary.

 

Really? Its amazing how well you know me, considering I don't normally post and you haven't met me before.  And exploring in Aion is a joke, its non existant.  I'm not asking people to play for me, or tell me how to play, I'm asking for suggestions, obviously.  And no its not a flame bait, I like the game, I have the collectors edition, I tell my friends its a cool game.  I dont want to just argue, otherwise I would have posted against everyone else here.

 

And yea I probably will cancel my account.  Not because the game is bad but because it doesnt fit me.  No reason to sit here and flame and act like you know fully what your talking about.

You can exploring in Aion.  Just not your realm, you can go to explore other realm depends on which side you play, that's exciting and deadly, you can even farm their bosses to KS the loot.

So, I have a level 26 sorcerer, and I'm kind of confused, what else is there to do when I don't feel like leveling aside from professions.  From what I can tell its not much, and it's kind of turning me off... Any help?

The complete lack of decent answers to his question above shows ... that the sole goal of "doing levels" in an mmorpg is proof we are talking of a 6 year old game mechanic with good avatar graphics.
The only goal in a present day mmorpg should NEVER be based on gaining levels by killing monsters mindlessly.
You don't adventure in Aion apparently, you just ... gain levels in a narrow closed world.
Never heard of minigames, never heard of leveling through PvP, changing worlds by doing quests, personal ladder based PvP ratings and/ or achievements.
It is ... Korean: you just gain ... levels (very very slowly). grtz.
expect 13 Korean in a dozen to appear in the next 2 years...
 It is quite easy to make: you set a level cap of 60.000.000 points per level and give 20K points per animal kill. You do the count and assure people have to play 12 hours for one level.
Now repeat and gosub ... repeat.

Also, they recently added lvling through pvp good job after how long now? ( And stolen from another game. :))) )
In my opinion, the world changes from capturing forts and artifacts in the abyss are more world changing than the phasing in WoW. ( Reason, because it can constantly change hands and determines which side pays more for goods along with denying one side having a set of instances available to them. )

The phasing is an artificial change since it *GASP* only happens for you when you do certain quests and not the whole server the instant it is done. ( Not world changing at all in my opinion. )
Also, Ladder Pvp --> Aion has this; it’s called pvp ranks and can change constantly.

Also, Zorn can I have the link to your main’s armory. Just want to see how awesome you are anyway. :D

What do you do in other mmo's when you aren't at level cap besides leveling or crafting (or pvping)? I'm not sure I understand what you want here.

The same thing you do in any mmorpg. PvP, craft, rp (if that's your thing), help guildies, etc.

Thank you Zorn, for your input. I'm wondering what minigame are there in wow besides the ram the instance portal for 30 minutes game or running laps in Dalaran. ( Also, the reason for the instance full error is because they lowered the amount of instances that can be launched to lower the lag in the instances, NOT because more people are playing. [ which you stated a few times already. ] Thought you, of all people, would keep up with what the devs post on the game. )

Zorn's char is no doubt the level 1 NE chick you see dancing on the mailboxes. He doesn't have time to play with all of his trolling and what not.

ROFLMAO @ Jimmydean..........funny shit dude :D

Honestly when im tired of lvling i just farm items, explore, farm gold, and pvp.

So.....what turns you on?

I normally just try to set small goals for myself to do when im not in a group with someone. I'm going to use a WoW example here because it's my most recent. I would do things such as complete all the quests for the areas to try and get the loremaster achievement. I did this just to see come of the quests I missed really and in case I would still be playing before the next xpac, because some of those old quests may vanish. I would also farm rep with factions, and just explore to open up every map.

I would then try to bring goals into whatever other game I would play so even if the decs didn't set a certain goal out for you, you still have your own personal goals to work towards.
