As we know, Aion will be released as a subscription-based game. But how much will it cost per month and how many types of cards will there be available?

Finally, yesterday NCsoft announced that Aion will start commercial service from November 25th, 2008 and there will be four types of prepaid game cards for choosing.

1-month card: 19,800 won (approximately 13.7 USD*), 300 hours for 30 days

3-month card: 47,520 won (approximately 32.9 USD), 900 hours for 90 days

3-hour card: 3000 won, (approximately 2 USD)

30-hour card: 12,000 won ((approximately 8.3 USD)

thats korean subscription fee as of the moment, how much would you think it will charge on NA/EU, they will likely follow this kind of subscription with TIME LIMIT!! oh my god.

they are too confident to do this...will see.

Lineage 2 was their most popular p2p mmo, and it suck balls

 

You say Lineage 2 sucks balls, Just because you dont like it yet it has 14 mil subs. even tho thats mostly asian, But they must like the game.

to be honest its a good game it just has a very very hard grind.

On a side note, What is wrong with 10 hours a day? Do you really have nothing else in a day like maybe sleep eat dinner watch TV or hell even go out? Do you really spend that much time on a game? I for one think its a GREAT idea and to fend off 24/7 botters, Any ways to each of there own i guess.

By the way 13 bucks for 300 hrs, Thats good most P2P games now are 15...Back to the old school pricing of 13 bucks wooo :D

Well, at least I still have EVE. Kudos to CCP for having the nads to make an MMO not following WoWs shadow.

i agree with you here but... and i hate doing this but

World of warcraft

Release date
NA November 23, 2004

EVE online

Release date
NA May 6, 2003
 

Kind of hard to follow WoWs shadow when it came out first :P EVE was even out before WoWs closed beta(which i was part of back when woW was fun and had good gfx :D).

Anyways... If Bioware does WoWify i wont be playing and will be very disappointed int hem for ruining a good chance at a new good game.

Thats okay cause DAoC rvr can happen

This is from a EQ2 player(well not active anymore) But the main reason why i am not active with the game now is to many x packs, I just dont have the money to keep up with that at this time, and by the time i would be able to get it will be outdated and a new xpack is out or coming which you need the old one for.

No, my good sir. The welcome back + XP bonus weekend  at the beginning of the month was US only. You are right that the 30th Oct - 3rd Nov is EU only - We are always behind the US servers

what US Welcome back? -_-  never got that myself :O

Question, Why  does anyone care about a dead/dying game called UO which was already ruined by EA when the first picked it up? Let it go the game is 10 years old and gone.

oh yes,and lets not forget the xbox 360's infamous three flashing red lights,but xbox 360 looks so yummy and irresistable,and the xbox live features looks pretty well decent,but i believe wii got like similar services,like they have online community and you can also download games using the console itself.but i have to say,if xbox360 got titles aimed to appeal on teenage boys,i gotta say,wii got titles that appeals mostly to young kids.in short,its too kiddish.

The three red lights hardly happens anymore.

Both great systems and your comment wii, its to kiddish not true at all, Wii has great titles, Just check out the list for both get the one you like the best. I have a 360 and love it but wish i had a wii aswell.

Well it seems you do not know much about PCs, But if you want to use 2 gfxs cards you need a motherborad that is SLI ready. But really you dont need 2 Gfxs cards to do dual monitors, just need enough ram and 1 good enough card.

The gfx card tho needs to 2 ports. The normal port VGA and 1 DVI port which you need a adaptor to use.

But if youre going to use 2 monitors with 1 card, I say get a 3.0ghz+ processor and 2 gigs of ram.

Or get Spam Me Not mod (which was recommended by mythic on the herald) It doesnt show the spammed and auto reports the spammer.

Hahaha .. c'mon, mate. In a game where you expect to massacre thousands, expect to be massacred a thousand times.

It is part of the deal. You don't have to show them anyway.

Just got "The Squatter" because of participting in 5 keep sieges. (Not much keeps are cappable on my server) Now that is one where I am proud of.

Yep titles are just for show and if you dont like it you dont have to show it,

I like my title tho "The Lead Lopper" For killing i think 5 or 10 guild leaders. <3

You fail, problem is because Guild only use Team Speak or similar they cannot be bothered to use the normal chat.

So the problem is the opposit, people should use less Voice chat and use the bloody text chat.
Voice chat is essential when you are raiding and doing sieges, but now people use it even for normal chit chat, and don t feel the need to comunicate with people outside their guild through the old and trusted text chat.

The wide avaiability of voice softwares is ruining the MMORPG immersion and sense of comunity, and WAR is a classic example.

Yes, Go RvR and tell your group incomeing northwest...

Oh wait youre already dead...

In PvP voice chat is key.

what wories me that my server isnt full. that cap is set on retardedly low pop..

that you need to spamm chat to even do pqs.. oh.. destro is capped on my server.. jus that order is medium/high.. even if it highs pop is capped max on 1k players.. make that 700 dest.. 300 order split across multiple zone= failure..

 

i could live with deserted game at beta.. but having this on launch is just makes me think ,was buying warhammer good thing.. or another mistake ..

Maybe wait for the game to release?

CE Headstart servers were capped to 600 players per realm and half way thru the day they upped them to 850

SE head start was dobule that...

Launch they will put real caps in,,Btw you picked the highest popped server so have fun with that

LArge file lol 9gigs

AoC was 23gigs -_-

It sounds like youre a picky gamer and MMOs are not for you...

Try guild wars or TF2 ;)

yep..

And i too miss all the old mmos.. :(

agreed

Just curious because that seems like a silly reason to dislike a game. I have played for quite a bit and of course there are going to be donkies, but the majority of the people I have met have been just fine. Be they 17 or 57. No reason to lump everyone into some lame stereotype.

 

I mean, come on, really, what could a 26 year old POSSIBLY understand about the ways of the world?

 

And then some 46 year old can come along and make the same general assumption about me as I am 36 years old, is kind of lame.

 

Did any of that make sense?

Oh yeah it sure did.

Don't get me wrong here, I played WoW from beta till BC(got to 70 and done BT) And the game was "Fun" In beta and release till they brought out Battle grounds. I have tried the game again not to long ago, Its dull and boring for me.

I am just sick of people bashing and comparing games to WoW, And even more when they never try the games out for them selfs.

I just the good old days of gaming. lol

EDIT: I am glad some people like the easy mode ways of WoW, But its just not for me anymore.
