It is P2P roughly $15 per month

 

How come you know this? There is nothing for sure at the moment of writing this! It wil not be free that's for sure. Who wants to make a game on the crytek engine for free. nobody i think? Wel I sure hope it wil be like Guild Wars. Just buy the game and play then after a while buy the expansion packs to get some new things. I also hope there will be some option that you can buy stuff with real money to support the dev people. With this money they can fix bugs that are in the game.

It is official in Korea, Aion follows a classic model of buy box+pay monthly fees, 15$ is the standard so zereelist's post will probably be accurate whenever we get our bussiness model confirmed, anyways, guild wars is another kind of game totally different from Aion, GW can afford to loose a bit of money monthly on that model cause they don't pay for a lot of servers, they put almost all the load on your computer through instances, and that's not possible on a persistant world such as Aion's.

 

Wel i think it sucks if there is an montly fee.. but on the other hand if the game is as good as the promise then it is worth it i think.

 

It would suck  more if it was like Guild Wars. P2P monthly is the way to go for Good MMORPGS :) . For example Guild Wars 2 will problably be P2P.

GW2 has been confirmed to be f2p.

You sure about that? o.O .. well less one game for me to bother to check then xD.

hmmm you talk as if AION was a full pvp oriented game, which is not (and glad its not). u may actually be diasspointed when you see that the game is not so pvp oriented as you seem to think :S.

U sincerely cant be comparing ARCHLORD with World of Warcraft...

Archlord is quite crappy mate, very good to whoever doesnt want to pay for play, but the game imbalance, the shop item, the THOUSANDS of annoying bugs... meh, the game is awful, i got to lvl 26 just because was playing with some friends. and... in WoW u always have something to do, Archlord is GRIND GRIND GRIND, really i reckon there's no possible comparation, if u doubt me just read reviews out there o.O  by magazines/wtv,

Aion is actually heavily geared towards PvP

Actually it's not. It's like a 50/50. and you can actually choose wether you would like to participate or not in pvp battles.

Why would they even change the anime-style of characters? this is AION. For western Type graphics, u have plenty of options around the corner, if u are not confortable with anime characters, u must know that, AION IS NOT for you, really, not being agressive or anything , but if you dislike the anime-like characters of Aion, you will never be able to like the game itself. (as it is based on fantasy more than anything)

WoW has Cartoonish Graphics - Me hates

AoC has kinda very Real graphics - Me hates

Aion is Fantasy/Anime type graphics, and honestly, that's what me, and alot more people are looking for :) !

Really, when i play a game, i wish the graphics are not real life copies, it makes the game look dull, and 2 much realistic, atleast i have some difficulty in being immerse in a non-fantasy type game.

Well I'm from Europe, and the only thing that shines in my eyes atm is AION. I dont like AOC or WAR Graphics/Gameplay. Aion in the other hand just seems perfect...

A part of me tells me that i cant wait a single day more for AION, However other part tells me, that the more the game is in beta/testing, the better it will be when i get my hands on it :)).

Well... going on topic again, i guess all we AION lover's have to wait for European/NA beta fase, i do hope that the people that will have the chance (i hope i'm one of them) to go to EU/NA Beta, really make a good job on reporting issues/bugs/advices, and dont simply go there to "play" as it was final version :p .

Time to go work now, Cya All fellow gamers :)!

Couldn't agree more!

I also think that more publishin is totally unecessary, there are alot of starters for aion, why more? will the game get better because it has better publishing? hell no.

Um actuall, hell yes.  More publishing means more populatity, which means more customers, which means more revenue, which means more money for developement, which means more content and a better game.

Lack of publishing/advertising just leads to an unknown game that struggles to survive and eventually becomes free to play with an item mall, and patches/updates stop coming and everyone just loses interest.

Well, if lack of publishing can originate item mall (something i dislike a alot) JUST PUBLISH IT ALOT! ehehehe ;)

Well Aion needs a lot more publishing , warhammer and aoc have published their games for about a year now but Aion not....It really needs this if NCsoft want to hit the "big games".

And ofc it has to come out be4 warhammer and wotlk so that players wont be lead to those games imo.

tbh I think it's pretty much BS. I think that next game to be WoW's replacer (I mean not by the publicity if has , I mean it will actually be good) people will hear from other people the game is great and start joining it.. in the end if the game doesn't deliver it will fail and people won't quit wow for it..

Couldn't agree more!

Aion seems very very polished, as long as it has a good base of initial costumers, and i reckon it will have some dozens of thousands. From there it can expand, will give the Aion Team a chance to get it even better as it is exponencially growing.

And well.. too many pusblishing makes the games just TOO MUCH comercial (see wow). as where comercial games normally are like boring novels for me.

Let aion be free of stupidity, before its infested with the whine, and the envy that a huge community normally brings :P !

The part I don't get is if the game is so fantabulous, then why is their web page such crap?  You'd think that with all the time and effort they're putting into a "next-gen" MMO they'd put at least a *little* effort into promoting it through their web site.  Definitely not the case here.  I get skeptical when I see something like this because it usually means they either don't care about the community and they just want our $$, or the game is a 2nd rate version of some other game that they bought the rights & engine from (a-la Archlord).

Compare this to a game like Warhammer Online where they spend a good bit of resources on their web site to promote and inform the community about the game and you see the difference between a company that's serious and one that's not so serious.

The current website (www.aiononline.com, for any present landlubbers) is just a teaser website that's online until we're ready to start promoting the game with all our engines. Our web guys are currently working on a new site that should be online in the not too distant future.

We really couldn't be more serious about the community and about our game. Just stay tuned. :)

 

 

 

Woah, nice to have some feedback from Aion Staff! :))) Really glad u guys have a open dialogue with your future costumers!

Ayase, can u inform me if there's gonna be any European beta, or are we goint straight to final version?

Regards

Katzu

That's a nice thing to see Ephimero, However that's an OverKill for me, i can hardly wait up for Aion, i seem like a 8 year old children waiting for midnight to open its presents!

I'm allready pretty sure that Aion will be the Only game that will make me and my mates happy playing it (we are very picky in games, and after 3 years of WoW we need something like this).

But indeed, the words from that beta tester, make me wanna play it even more, or test it! =) i would love to be a tester in Aion Europe Beta (if it's gonna exist)
.

Kind Regards

It's somewhat disturbing that the Aion representative that reads and posts on this forum has neglected to comment on this topic. You would think they would be eager to confirm that NcCoin will never be used with Aion if that were the case. Leads me to think they don't want to commit and leave the door open.

With PvE raiding it has never been a question of being "good enough". I play games to have fun, not to be a simpering toady sitting through hour after hour of mind numbing boredom and fauning over a guild master in the hopes that he will condescend to reward me with shiny bits of loot. But in games where those people get the highest progression anyone who doesn't do that will just be a moving target for them and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay money for the privelege. - Neanderthal

Indeed i agree with you.

From all the pvp movies if seen at aion source, or other fan sites

I have noticed the assasins are curently way to powerfull, winning even against plate wearing classes.

I hope Aion will be at least balanced a bit or evry kid and there grandmother will be rolling a assasin since there "cool" and "overpowered" in pvp.

Don't start with the silly "omg its overpowered attitude". let the game designers do what they do best. don't assume they dont know what they are doing. they're doing their best i reckon.

i reached lvl 26, was playing with 3 friends.. we cant play anymore.. the game is so so boring.. we reach a stage where we ask ourselfs, ermh.. is this game only about  grind?

answer? YES! really, as soon as u get used to a standard of high quality game, u simply cant play games like Archlord, every little bug, every liltte stupid thing seems like huge flaws on our eyes. But really the game is extremely boring, i gotta be desperate to be able to even reach lvl 26 :S

just dont expect the same theory as in wow "oh im a casual, and because i cant be arsed to play more than 30 minutes per day, i demand to have same oportunities".

That's one of the things that killed WoW for me, even tough, i cant play it that much right now. MMORPG's are normally "time sink's", so i would say, if u dont have the time or will to play a true MMORPG, dont expect much progress.

If u have time, but your game times are disfunctional, i reckon u can play it normally, there will be another ppl like u remenber :)

He problably just gone trough Molten Core or something :p ...

Meh.. u cant play WoW PvE raiding without this 2 essential addons.

Deadly boss Mods.

Ktm or Omen.

If u are a healer than u need 1-2 more imperative addon. and no u cannot raid without them, if u say u can, u are totatlly clueless about the game u played. There's no endgame raider, that can call himself good in doing his jod, that doesn't use a minimal package of addons.

oh i see. well ofc AION is not in that group, any game that wants to achieve sucess (as like 1 million paying costumers). Must not ever fall into that category.

Mostly because of the way the gameplay is completely bashed.. why?

well F2P games bring alot of retards into the game (noticed that P2P also has those). However if u go into a F2P game and start seeing "BR??" "AZN??" u will kinda understand what im talking about :P ..

As for the NcCoin system itself, it might be useful in F2P games which aren't good enough to have a good player base on monthly fees.

GIving the option of a player becoming quite more powerful than other via RL money is like allowing players to use hacks to gain advantage in a Game. i dont mind paying 10-20 euros for a monthly fee of a nice online game, but i would never play a game, in which me or another person could gain superiority from others, just because the daddy is rich or "insert category here".

my2cents.

Before i make an argument, can u tell me more specificly what is NcCoin?

well, u should be able to solo till max level, u always can do that, however, without grouping, i reckon your char will be very weak compared to the rest, which makes sense.

You only get hacked if:

 

1.  You visted gold seller site.

 

2.  You are incapable of playing WoW without addons, and thus load your comp with crap.  

 

It's your own darned fault, I've been playing WoW since launch, never been hacked, every one I KNOW that has been hacked had one of the two above causes for their being hacked.

 

 

Greed, or lack of skills.

 

In case u dont know MR iplaywithoutaddonsleetzors, in End Game guilds such as mine, u're obligated to have atleast 3 essential addons. to manage your aggro mostly. my performance in a raid must be maximized in all ways, and well normally add-ons are necessary for it.

btw my trojan came from P2P.
