My thoughts about aion after level a sin to 48 . Beautifull graphisms , good quests , flying pvp .. aion got goood features but !  it misses something . I find L2 more addictive than aion  , while it had horrible grind , poor economy , poor crafting , poor class balance .

Never played Wow (didnt bother with its graphisms) , so even if aion is not innovative , i got no problem with it . For someone coming from lineage2 and eve , it s a new gameplay in a very well made game .

Aion is sucessfull so far , unless NCSOFT gets accused of mass kitty murdering . It is unlikely that it will fail .

In my opinion, it's good, but it isn't really better than any of the other good ones out there.  Just a little different.

Look how alot of people are enthusiast about aion , how the sceptical people will buy it by curiosity... This is  what makes the game a success  . I didnt compare it to WOW or others old games since they are old .. , but DAOC WAR DF .

 Game is better than all the last Western's releases .  Atm there is only aion , so yes aion is good on the current market , it even shines with its polished graphics .

Take a look at the mmos themselves , games full of bots , mobs bashing if you want a "beautifull" game   . Eve is ok  but got to like spaceships .

Considering that some items in lineage 2 were  sold for 5k $usd / piece on the blackmarket , shows something sadly. There is one guy who ebayed for over 100k $used in this game , hundreds for 10k . 

About aion , i hope it won't be the same . Today lineage 2 which  is played less than Aion will be , is completely full of bots . This game even turned to be a money platform . The Gm's say they do their best to stop it .

1st mmo for , was lineage 2 . And yes , possibly influences me on the fact that , i can't play a game with poor graphisms . And the 2 games that appeal me are Aion and Tera . Aion is a Ncsoft game and Tera from the old lineage2 team .

Aion can only be scared by the bots/farmers  threat . 

There will be flying bots , lol how nice . . .

Nice update on paper , don't get fooled . Unless you are in a big clan as i am , you won't see much . And the new skills and gears , mainly the botters who will benefit of it since it s a pain to level after level 80 , 90% of the 80+ are bots .

To OP , to get anywhere in l2  , prepare yourself for thousands hours of hardcore exp . Not to say if you plan to become a factor , in olympiads for example , prepare for dozens of thousands hours  of hardcore exp + a good clan .
