Jury is still out for me... playing Aion and FE right now to see where it goes.  Aion seems to have the edge for me due to the amazing graphics and detail (just look at the water effects) where in FE water is just a picture on the screen that can't even be crossed!!!

So, rating for me so far with a lvl 30 FE and a level 20 on Aion.. (I know they are very different games and should not be compared but I'm working out the fun factor for my sub)

• Graphics - Aion wins hands down
• PVE - same- both have no imagination - both poor
• PVP - Aion because you can duel own levels - FE you have to be top lvl before you can seriously go there
• Crafting - FE seems more inventive but you are limited to your role - a crafter will not make a good PvP'r so you need more than 1 toon - FE wins
• Gear/Weaps - different styles but you can't beat having a machine gun on your buggy - FE wins
• Mobs - Aion has some amazing designs - FE a tad boring - Aion wins
• Game stability - FE started real bad but has improved... Aion crashes my PC sometimes - everything just locks up
• FPS - same issues with crowded areas on both games
• Movement - Aion has limited flight and a lot of running around... FE has some great mounts with different specs - FE wins
• Fun - hmmm... jury's still out

Just my thoughts for now... cheers
