Absolutely NO WAY this will turn out to be a good idea.  I'll bet on it.

Looks exactly like Dofus.

I have already come up with a brilliant solution to this debate, but details are going to cost someone big bucks.

Why the hell is a game full of flying characters adding flying mounts?

Addons.  End of discussion.

The DAoC community continues to be packed with internet trolls; most guilds and players don't want anything to do with you if you're under Realm Rank 5.

There; fixed another sentence that was grossly misleading for you.

There is now a 5 minute cool-down timer when cross-realming.

There, I fixed that sentence for you.

If they got off their lazy backside and put some damn resource nodes in the game, it might actually be worthwhile to people that like to do more than pve/pvp.  That kind of crap only entertains for so long.

There are ways to get into the unopened zones, but many of them are not even populated yet.  There are no invasions, monsters, or rifts in the unpopulated zones.  You do get the explore XP though.

Exactly what I've been waiting for.  But... Is it a coincidence that this comes as the RIFT closed beta mini phases begin?  I think not.

If it comes down to making the choice, RIFT > AION.

Death Penalties Suck

And anyone that prefers to SOLO in a massively multiplayer game, deserves to be dragged into the street and shot.

He's entitled to his opinion; I'm entitled to mine.

Well, that still kinda sucks, but I guess the game's worth another look with the other two points "cleared up".

Thanks for the info.

I really didn't have a problem with the leveling speed of my Elyos Cleric.  It was the 1) ganking, 2) gold spammers, and 3) lack of character slots per account that made me quit the game.

So far it seems the ganking and gold spammers are somewhat resolved.  What about the allowed characters slots?  I know that no game in the history or future of online games is ever going to beat Dark Age of Camelot in this department (300 character slots across 10 servers that are all playing in the same virtual space), but it's gotta be better than the 3 slots per account that we were allowed at launch, right?

There may have been 10 servers when Aion launched, but we were only allowed 3 characters, period.  That (*&^ didn't fly (heh, ironic use of that cliche) with me, and I quit the game.

I have heard they do have solo instances.

I've pretty much lost all hope of instances outside of Dark Age of Camelot being "soloable".  Every instance I've seen in an online game since then has been packed with elites and higher.

Its really rare to see a goldspammer these days. Every once in a while I'll get pm'd by some poor soul who has lost their account to hacking but you won't really see it in chat that much.

I mean in zone chats and stuff like that.  It was so bad when I left that people couldn't even see each other talking.

Are players allowed more than 3 characters per account yet?

Is this still the case?

Not anymore...rifting in PVP area is dead. Even if you do meet a rifter they have a debuff that reduces their atk. The abyss is the only place you can still get raped. Its easy to stay away from there though. They are working on rifting to make it better.

That's good news, sort of, I guess.

How about the gold spammers?  Do they still control all the chat windows?

Malickie, don't be an asshat.  Thanks.

Baldors123 meant to say "The remaining server is still very much packed with asshats and rude people that are only out to further their own desires."

There is no reason to play Dark Age of Camelot, Halloween events or not.

What is it, or was it, about the game of EVE that keeps you from playing the game?

 The controls were epic fail.  Nothing standard to MMOs seemed to make the damn ship move.  Uninstalled, not worth going back.
