I vote this the gayest thread ever.

Yep another  in the closet fanboi that is pissed because some folks don't want nancy boy toons.

This is why Aion will alwyas be relgated to the land of Niche.

Not everyone likes bulky or barbarian style of heroes I don't like that type of character and never use them.

Yes ncsoft should have added some bulky customizations but I prefer the middle muscular style rather then having my character looking like it has used a dozen of steroids.

Right but Diametrically not everyone likes their toon to well...look like a Ass job waiting for a place to happen either, Brian Knox ranted so long about how they really wanted to Westernize the game....and honestly between the forced Metrosexual toons, and the Pokemon Monster choices they just failed so greatly.

you can make the characters old and grumpy looking as well

On feature that I really like (maybe you missed it) is that for a given face you can choose increasingly older and battered facial features, deeper and deeper wrinkles etc

If you do not modify those options you'll always see the default face that happens to be the youngest one.

Nope I saw those but it all goes out the window when the old grumpy guys juts his ass out and starts twirling his hair while tracing his toe in the sand. That my friend is a creepy thing to behold.

I think to complete the stereotype NCsoft needs to make all men have these Richard Simmonesque Lispy voice tracks.....that or they could get a clue and actually you know provide choice.

What exactly is wrong with them being effeminate?  And besides, there are tons of games made by asian devs that do not have effeminate men characters, if it threatens your sexuality that much, don't play....

If you are the type of guy that gets off on that great, but not having a choice sucks, And how kneejerk is it of you to jump to the PC conclusion that it threathens my sexuality.

Nah, I get it, its probably the same awkward feeling I get when I'm forced to play a male character in an RPG.

Yep it's tough to play a sword weilding badass, when you twist your ass when you walk and pant like out of breath tea kettle.

I think they're hot.

The muscled ones with facial hair and scars do not look effeminate to me.

Yep some chicks dig girly men, and that's cool I guess....trust me scars and hair really dosen't help when they are standing holding a palm frawn over their heads with their hand on their hip.

Honestly after spending a great deal of time with the Charcater builder I have come to the conclusion that you can not make a male character that dosen't look like he blongs at a Coldplay concert. Why is it so impossible for Asian game devlopers to give us character options that dosen't make our male toons total metrosexual prisses? I mean fighting purple musharooms and sword weilding Teddy Bears is bad enough, but making all the "men" (and I use that term loosely) look like they are ready for a Bromance really is a deal breaker.

Yes as I said its amazing if you are into effeminate men, sword wielding teddy bears, and boring ass game play.

Great another Vanilla vets QQ about WoW being Ez mode, god mmorpg.com must be desperate as hell to post such utter nonsense. WoW has a broad appeal, every time Blizzard adds something for those players who don’t sock poop and live in Mommy’s basement we get Bullshit pieces like this. The bottom line is if you find WoW too easy try uninstalling those 450 face roll add-ons you use, or maybe actually try to run a dungeon without reading every connect the dot walkthrough.

At the end of the day no one gives a fuck that you find something that was created for entertainment unchallenging. If you want a challenge try designing chess programs in Pascal or better yet take your lard ass out of the basement and attempt to walk a mile without keeling over from a heart attack We have had enough of these dumbass post that basically say the same thing…”.I am no longer a special snowflake.”
 

 

and another one of the WotLK kiddie noobs facerolls the keyboard.

 

If you ever actually worked for anything in your life you know that you feel better when you get something you worked for rather than yelling Mommy this is too hard.

Seriously we need a game that is full of challenge that keeps us working and keeps us playing with something new each day as it takes that long to get through the levels and you learn to play your class right instead of thottbot cookie cutters running around using the same moves as the last tool.

There was a time when having the gear meant you were respected in the game and comments like this are the same as what trade chat is full of now.

Oh your mean words...they burn. /smirk

Ass, I have worked for many things in my life, I worked my way through college, five long years (I doubled majored) on third shift in a textile mill, that was worthwhile. WoW is a game you myopic dilettante. Wow has plenty of things to keep people working, that isn't what your'e upset over you are upset because WoW can no longer provide a place where for once in your miserable existence you are big news. If you honestly think that a few pixels ever bought you respect then I have a bridge to sell you.

If not Aion what?

For me it's a little game called World of Warcraft, which I enjoy more with every expansion. I tried Aion, the concept is cool angels vs demons and yeah you can fly...but it is so Asianedafied, and I detest, loathed and hate that whole genre. I have no doubt all the Fat guys in salior Moon costumes will dig this one, but it just isn't for me.

No the Honeymoon is already over for Aion. People are finally seeing it for the Korean Grinder that it is. It will be a neiche game just like Linage II in the states.

/walks in, looks around

Yep this ones a faliure too....Oh well back to WoW.

Hmm.... i can't say I believe this, certainly not because the dev's say so.

I personally know a lot of people who play MMO's, and not one of them plays Runescape.  Not young players nor older, so who is the target audience?  No one in my world, that's for sure.

 

THIS^

The need to compete with wow has passed desperation and has landed squarely in the world of deluded idiocy.

All I know is folks are canceling their pre orders like crazy at the gamestop where I work and that seems to be a trend corperate wide..right now we have a surplus of Collectors editions we are going to put back on sale via our ecommerce page the day after launch.

I log onto WoW tonight and stormwind is packed....and it's a Monday.

Nothing to see here folks move along.

Not me. I wouldn't play WoW either. AoC! Waiting for The Secret World or something totally new.

SW ToR and Star Trek is not it either. I am pretty sure. I don't like where they are going.

Maybe Guild Wars if the PvP is good. But for now those in my sig are those that I am waiting for. Subject to change any time ;)

I'll confess the secret world sounds interesting..I have already heard flop being attached to STO from those who are in the Friends and Family beta.  SW:ToR looked beyon boring if the 20 minuet video they showed us is any indication. Honestly I don't think Blizzard has any worries of loseing subs any time soon.....like the next decade.
