:'( my aion download is going freakin 30 kbs and its only 8 percent away :/

I'm just going to wait till aion goes "Free to play".

Which will probably start a month or two after the release.

I doubt that, seeing how Game Stop is makeing a buzz for it, which is kinda sad.. lols. But, I will prolly play in a year... T_T(Thats when I can actually get money and buy gaming comp!!!)

Aion does absolutely nothing special.
The classes from Aion are included in just about every mmorpg out there.
CoX has flying, EVERYWHERE.
Factions wars are also parts of pretty much every mmorpg, so are sieges.
"customization" and nice graphics also don't deserve a mention because they are one of those generic asian mmo graphics.
"gathering and crafting skills" are pathetic and you can find a better system even in WAR, whose job wasn't to create a crafting environment/features.

I dont hate WoW. I played it until Burning Crusade and had fun doing so. In the end thats what games should do, giving me fun and entertainment. And if I do some kill quest the 100th time, as long as Im not bored, so be it.
On the other hand I mistrust advertisment which claims to do something revolutionary. Too often its just some speechbubble with no substance. I still remember AoCs "revolutionary" combat system. Me and a friend had some good laugh after experiencing this button-mashing fiasco (they streamlined it later on). WAR promised "WAR everywhere", well, not really.
So if Aion ist just some other upgraded WoW clone, I dont care. I play CAion and so far there isnt much I can complain about. I try to reach high level to judge about endgame qualities of the game, but what I see so far is good enough to buy the game. If it sucks later, NCSoft will loose my sub. Very easy solution.
Maybe my expectations are too low after experiencing all those half finished products, the companies throw at the customers.

The classes are standards as in most mmorpgs, I agree. There was flying even before CoX. L2 should be one of the first titles with massive online 3D faction and siege warfare. Customization of my toon is important for me and nice graphics are one of the BIG sellpoints for this genre and Aion is very good. Not as amazing as AoC with gamegraphics, but still... Gathering and crafting is pretty standart too, no clue where the problem here is and why WAR is better.

Anyway, the beta weekends should give at least an early impression of the game and should make the choice, if the game is worth the initial payment easy.

Another thing, my favorite mmorpg of all time, is coming to a new, Latale, is coming to aeria games, >.> although I don't like them, its a new start for me,

Any comments on Aion or anything amazing youve seen recently in the mmo world?

Aion good? lolol

The ONLY good thing about Aion is character graphics, the world looks plain, gameplay is mega generic, low selection of classes, lousy movement, oriental grinding, get boring really fast. Just like any other EQ/WoW copy.

Good day

onrpg is just a hateful community. teen angst and hate seems to be super popular nowadays.

please if its generic what do you want it to have? it already has wasd movement plenty of action great graphics. what are you looking for? a dating function?

i think even if these mmo's turned into virtual reality you'll still be flaming it.

i'd love to play aion but i don't have the funds right now to upgrade my pc.

No im not looking for a dating function. I'm looking for a little trace of innovation... like perhaps non generic classes? Or maybe some other theme, not medieval fantasy? Perhaps some fresh combat? Or characters that have 10 limbs instead of legs and arms? There's a whole lot of options once you decide NOT to follow the mainstream(WoW, EQ, again.).
