You've got to be kidding.  MMORPG.com is a joke for providing different views.  This site has a very large amount of members who don't share their views, they just troll against games they don't like. 

Just scan thru the topics in the AION forum.  If someone mentions they like the game and posts a positive review... the trolls are there almost immediately knocking down the poster.

MMORPG.com is the LAST place anyone who wants a non-biased honest opinion about a game should go.  Information about new upcoming games or release dates?  Yes.  Opinions on games?  No way.

Yes MMORPG.com isn t the best source, but any official site isn t the best either. At least on here you do get to see the bad and not just some fanboi induced babble. Aion to me is the most boring game I ve played in years. Do I start posts regardng this no, but if theres a topic about it being the funnest game ever and people want opinions i ll give it.

Aye, i would agree going to the official site for information for the game. Thats where players who actually play the game go, and spend time on the game... Going here for information is like going to war. You'll get good and the bad... Mostly the bad though. Sorry to say.

Then why are you visiting here? Perhaps for the entertainment factor like the rest of us?

Nothing wrong with people sharing their opinions on games, there's no requirement that I read them. (and I frequently don't)

I will say this, I made the decision to play EVE from what I read on these forums and it was the best move I ever made.  I currently am playing Aion based on what I read here as well, as Lineage 2 was a game I enjoyed, even if the grind finally broke me.

I also decided to not play DF from what I read here, and I'm pretty sure that was a good decision on my part.  Not because I don't think DF is a good game, it may well be, but I'm pretty sure open world pvp/ with full looting isn't a play style I'm really going to be fond of.  I just get too attached to my stuff. 

I have to say, people slammed LOTRO, AOC and WAR, and in the end I ignored them and bought all 3.

The critics were right, and I could have saved myself  $300 bucks in the process.  (I buy two copies of every game at a minimum)

Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose, but these forums did keep me from trying some other games which in the long run probably turned out for the best.

I visit this site now mostly for the information it provides about release dates, betas, new/upcoming games and contests.

I used to rely on it much more in the past than I do now, including which games to play based on member recommendations... but after this site started filling with trolls with alternative motives, I decided their suggestions weren't worth considering.

There's a healthy dose of both sides of the fence in the Aion sub forums here.  Every site has trolls and the aiononline forums have just as much if not more people complaining and trolling about the game than here. 

My advice to those that haven't figured out how the way of the internet yet, that happen to read some negative things on forums is to just be cautiously optimistic.  No matter what forum you go to you're going to read about how bad the game is.  For example, if you go to the official WoW forums you'd think it's the worst game to ever be created, yet it still holds the most subscriber numbers and has more servers full to capacity every night than any other mmo.

Cautiously optimistic is the best way to go into it.  I normally don't read community forums of a game unless I'm playing it.  A place like this I will hear about a game from fanboy hype, then research it to see if I like it, though the outcome is usually "wow this game is freaking garbage".

Thanks for the warning OP, good thing you gave it since none of the people who visit here can discern things for themselves.

Bah, most people are smart enough to separate the wheat from the chaff, and just because something is negative doesn't necessarily make it a lie. (or true for the matter).

Aion might not be the game for you depending on how you like your game play.  It has more grinding them most recent games, but less than L2.  Depending how much you enjoy grinding on mobs plays a big factor in how much you'll enjoy the game. (I don't mind myself, easier than running all over the place doing quests sometimes)

It's got a strong PVP focus in the Abyss, if that's not your style, you're not going to like Aion.

Its not terribly imaginative or deep.  But the game has a long way to go and this will improve over time.

But it will never try to be all things to all people, foolish to hope for otherwise.

I currently enjoy playing it, but perhaps the grind will one day wear me down.  If so, no big deal, but you won't see me starting a bunch of new threads here on whether I enjoyed the game or not. (but I will gladly pile on a thread started by another)

 

I read this post about he's thoughts on Aion, tbh he's hit the nail on the head in a breif manner.
 

I can't dissagree with anythink that he's typed about Aion.
