I personally found the game more boring than watching paint dry. I got to lvl 27 as a gladiator, and at first i find out like, wow this is a new game I love it, but then gradually with all the afk bastard shops, no realy customization of character skill sor anything, and the total grind I personally found, and it looking like every other asian grind game ive played, albeit a bit more westernised, the long ass server ques, and the gayest function I have found in any game the /LOCATE function. Flying WTF is it for i still dont understand? Was this game main selling popint having wings and flying? What a joke seriuos. I found myself bored to death. I was in a legion of 80 people about 40 active people, i quit 1 week ago, and on my legions forums since i quit and before, there have been posts of people saying they are stopping and Aion is not what they were hoping it was going to be. |

If I wasn't burnt out on mmos right now I probably would be giving Aion a try right now. The only aspect I have read that I don't like is a lvl grind after 20, but that is something I feel I could get over. I have killed things for hours in the past farming so killing for xp wouldn't be much different. Aion just seems to be one of the most polished mmos to be released recently, and one that might be able to get even better with time. |

Neither group has it really right anyways. There are times at higher levels you will have to grind a bit but the few times I had to it has been less than a quarter of the level which really is no time at all considering how much xp you get from mobs in this game. So there is some "grind" (really hate using that term considering all mmos have it in one way or another but whatever it's the flavor of the day) but not to the extent some make it out to be. At least through lvl 31 in the game anyways. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

If you've ever played your average Korean grinder - that's Aion. One quest chain per race, one starting area per race, simplistic levelling system, no depth whatsoever, the thinnest of plots, no variety whatsoever, and all the quests are all banal crap such as "Kill X mobs", "Gather X skins" and the usual Fed-Ex quests. To give the illusion of containing actual gameplay, you will be running around the map constantly for the most trivial reasons. The tedium goes way beyond boredom. I have so far disliked - and in some cases, hated - every Korean game I have tried, but at least they were all free! |

I dont know. It only happened to me that one time. I updated my drivers to the latest and everything seems fine now. Thats the only suggestion I could make, since its the only change I made. |

Mostly it's due to having in-game graphic setting up high and many people in one place that causes it to happen, if you plan to enter the segies i suggest you lower the in-game resolutions to low and turn off any aliasing or character detail to even compensate for the heavy lag that follows iin any seige.  |

Nothing surprises me these days, luckily I am getting into the industry to create my own surprises. |

This game is a good game, regardless of some minor issues it does have. The game content in limited as of now, but it is not like NCsoft isn't planning to add new content. Even with the limited content the game I find is extremely fun, and to be honest it's all I've been playing since the game was actually released. Although if you don't have a high-end graphics card, (Nvidia 9800 recommended, although you can get a 9600 fairly cheap at Newegg.com) because you want to be able to experience the entire game as a whole. This is definitely a buy that is worth it, but I am going to say this, this game is not for everyone. Don't buy it if you don't think you will like it. The game does have a grind after 30, the game is very much based on asian mmo principles, regardless of it's "reform" to please western audiences. The combat is very familiar though, and so is the mob placement. I hope this helps. :) |

OP: The queues are almost gone and are max 20 minutes on my server (perento). The pvp as of now is starting to bloom with the RvR'ing. As soon as some fortress goes vulnerable there will be big battles.
