Just spare us the same rehashed trash talk we had 4 years ago pls.

 

So no one is allowed to express their opinion if it dosen't agree with yours?  I believe one of the good things about forums is it allows everyone to express their opinions whether they're good, bad or indifferent. 

Opinions get dull,

Instead of posting every single whiny feeling people have on this forum , write them on an A4 , tape em to your wall so we dont get bothered.

anyways, GOOD posts about bad sides of a game are NOT bad, just random whines with no futher explanation are sh!t

Amazing post OP. You just shut up the all those wowtards in one hit.

 

Can't wait till the term Aiontard starts working it's way through common speech on mmo forums.

It'll probably become some variation of its full name like ATOEtard or something.

Just stop making things up about the game and how ppl are going to abandon it, and how the servers are empty, there is just a lie. The first free month is over and fortunately for us who still play the servers are still full of ppl.

 

The curious is that all of this happened before already, in 2004, with another game, and we all know the results.

Yet, we all know where this as taken us, and where that game is today.

So stop the damn crap again, we've seen it already.
And accept theres a new big boy on the market. And that this game wont die soon.

Offcourse this is not an Aion will kill WoW thread, ofc it wont, but it isnt dieing eaither, and it wont for a long long time.

 

Those problems, (some grind, we had queues, there are bots and some gold sellers) all happened before, and thats the proof.

The fact is that they solved it mostly, and so is NCSoft, like the last community adress shown, and thats whats important.

you're right, what was I thinking. Ummm.... too late, I already quit! Doh!
 

Thruthfully, WoW offers a LOT more than Aion does. Maybe not on the PvP side, but most definately on PvE. I can't understand why anyone would pay for Aion.

That said, I did quit Aion, but I sure as hell won't go back to WoW. I'm just tired of all those type of games. Saying Aion is different is a crude lie.

So there. I quit and that isn't a lie.

 I think some peeps come here to start a flame war because ya'll ain't got nothing else better to do.  It's amazing the number of posts bitchin about the whining,  stop whinning, then the exact same posts goes off into a giant ass whine about the whiners. Double standardize much?  You need a hobby that doesn't involve the computer, me thinks. That's my contribution to this circus of opinions.

Yea, all the RPG MMO's are starting to look the same anymore. But what can be done differently? It's all about the grind, lvling, killing things, reaching max lvl for end game content, & once in a while civil interaction with other players (CIVIL being the key word - it's a rare encounter offering epic, intelligent, rewarding conversation. There ought to be an achievement for that).

The game will die when people get 40+ and realize that to level up they have to group grind EXP for 15+ hours for 1 level, or solo for 30+ hours(And I don't mean questing/instancing, I mean standing still and killing the same mob over and over.)

And when melee realize how hilariously bad in PvP(due to flying PvP, having to stand still to use 80% of your melee skills and lack of any real CCs/snares compared to range) they are in this game.

P.S., my templar was level 47 when I quit, over a week ago.

Just as an F.Y.I., the first free month is NOT over.

The free month for CE purchasers—which is the majority of the early adapters—ends on October 29th.

Regular edition Preorders from D2D also received an additional 7 days.

The game wont die soon no, it will be around for awhile. But Aion has lost quite a few people.
 

Aion won't "die", even Vanguard is still up and running.

I'm quitting................. for the weekend :)  I'm out of town and don't have access this weekend.

We are in the same forums that attempted to troll some games like Darkfall to death, yet people do play and enjoy the game.

SWG and AOC are still here.

And these forums get a "WoW is dying" thread every week.

So has WoW.

I salute the OP for the great links he/she found.

There is nothing new under the Sun - the same nonsense being spread.

True, we saw this sort of lying and hating with both AoC and WAR, yet now they have almost as many subs as WoW.

No what it shows that it does not matter what the quality of the game actually is = there will be haters and nonsense and crying and wailing and etc.

1) OP: This is the internet. It's impossible to care about what all other people write. Just play the game, enjoy it and have a good time.
2) Sure, some of the people talking bad about a game are trolls. But not all people are. Some actually discovered some problems (or something they consider beeing one) and that might be worth a discussion. Calling those people "liers" doesn't help anyone, except the trolls.
3) You assume that the people lie because they are trolling, and react on them. And reactions are what trolls are going for. So even if you would be right and everyone would be making up lies about Aion, you'd just react the way such people would want you to.

"Senator, I knew World of Warcraft, and trust me, Aion is no World of Warcraft."

Just because you've found analogous threads about certain issues doesn't mean the two games are really very similar.

Aion and WOW have quests.  WOW's are better. 

Aion and WOW have PVP.  Depending on your tastes, WO'W's might be considered better. (it certainly is quite different)

Aion and WOW have levels, classes and character progression.  WOW's is deeper.

Aion and WOW both have grinding.  Aion has more grinding.

Aion and WOW have two factions. But WOW has many more races.

So many differences, so few real similarities, people have a right to post what they didn't care for about the game.

Oh yeah, and currently, I play Aion.

Game started out fun, but the PVP turned out to be a pretty big disappointment.  The leveling/grinding was pretty lame at the 40+ but that isn't really the end of the world.  Styling in PVP is kind of a joke (3/4 of your styles you can't even move during swing and the target can just run out of range) and flying in PVP is really stupid they should just cut that out (glinding is cool though)

/Cancelled for now, can't say I'm too eager to look to resubscribe and get my grind on anyways.  Fix the XP gain, fix the pvp, game might be interesting.

I think UO is the best example of all. That game has such a small but dedicated community yet it still carries on. BTW OP, its been five years not four. Its 2009 now.

Cheers!
