im not good at linking stuff, but, there is alot of information out there about aion. one site has actually translated some of the korean site updates. try aionsource.com or www.mmosite.com. there is alot of information about gameplay, including harvesting and crafting on those sites. thats where ive been getting my data from anyway.

i was overstating my case, ofcourse. NO, im not new to the mmo thing. i was pretty uber at eq 1 and very uber in swg, till they faq'd it up. also played eqII,shadowbane,vanguard,coh......

ive been following aion, and there IS some new gameplay ideas, or newish anyway, BUT, i think its the grafix that are blowing my mind, not the gameplay innovations

Aion will be the next "great" mmorgp for me, that's for sure.

im sold on the grafix. some may say that grafix are not that big of a deal. i disagree. ive found most mmo's to be very(very) similar. so assuming that this game is like most mmo's, it is the grafix that set it apart.  IMO conan and warhammer look lack luster. Aion looks awsome!!!!

i dont have a lot of experiance w/ nc soft. i WAS on the lineage II beta, didnt like it.  I'm told this is not gonna be lineage III, so im not worried.

i gave up vanguard saga, i was on beta for that game...wich was rough to say the least, then it really improved...then i had some problems w/ personalities, i know this makes me look like the "problem personality" but you'll have to take my word on it i wasnt. 

I've been searching for a new mmo. tried final fantasy(ok different, not new) it was alright, but the graphics were terrible....So bring on AION!!

players should have the choice to join wutever server they want. wut if u work third shift? gold sellers will be on every server no matter wut. im from usa , but was in a tw eq guild because of the strange hours i keep. c'est la vie.

i've been doing my part to strong arm my mmo playin' friends into trying this game

i have been on a few beta's. im not the most active bug reporter, but i do it when it comes up. I just like to get in early....im not hurting anyone. my guess is that the makers of a game want many types of players in a  beta, or maybe im dead wrong again

hrm lets see.

eq was a cleric, eqII was a cleric. Vanguard...oh yea, was a cleric. Wow was a pally, that game didnt have a cleric class. SWG, weapon smith, that game didnt have a cleric either. Shadowbane....was a cleric.

my guess is ill be a cleric.!

getting into beta can be a(the) key to your success in an mmo.  as stated bfore, you can first see if this is the mmo for you, then, you can get a real good idea of how the play mechanics work.  you can determine wut class you want to be based on those play mechanics.

most important however, me thinks, is that you can do some NETWORKING, terrible choice of word i know, but seriously, you can make some friends early on, and maybe even get a little organized.

Beta=good.

this post is silly. you have the time to post that nc is a "fraudulant" company, but you dont have the time to explain how or why?

me thinks your credibility is lacking. this game looks great to me. i might have given your warning some credence had it had any, and i mean any, meat to it.
