But it seems you cannot accept my criticism if you started this flamewar, do you see the irony? I was merely stating what would make the game more unique/pointing out the points at where Aion is just as generic as any other mmo currently out.

Basically, I think that the people that were expecting this game to be huge got disappointed and started not linking it, and the people who pretty much knew the game, but weren't expecting much, ended up liking it, like me.

I have my own experience in this. I used to think that Warhammer would be the next massive MMO that will take over WoW, but when it released, I was soo disappointed I stopped playing.

Anyways, I love Aion, and I will be buying it. I still don't understand why an MMO has to have something unique to make it acceptable. I found it very fun so I like it.

Well if you want a graphic blast AOC is something for you with DX10 enabled and then jump in the water you'll be amazed, but appart from that I think I will be amazed with MO (Mortal Online) graphic wise as well, and hopefully also gameplay wise.

I played Chinese AION for a couple of weeks with the server free turned my Sorceror into level 27 and had a lot of fun playing that game, but I'll probably start playing again after it'll come out in Europe. PvP in AION was fairly alright imo.

Pretty much every game with WASD and semi-good graphics is acceptable now and has a good playerbase. But if you don't want to feel like you're playing the same game over and over an MMO has to have something unique.

i never declined your criticism at all i replied to your post stating your post is useless and is not needed but you on the other hand oh the irony if you get my point what i am saying is if the game is not your cup of tea and you do not like it or wish to support it in any way then why do you post let the people who enjoy the game post in peace i will give you time to reply i know you are slow

Playing the same game over and over? Mate, the grahpic style, story, characters, classes, and soo is enough for one to not think their playing the same game over and over. Why not have all the good features all the MMOs have and do them right? If you think about it, doing something unique now, when the MMORPG industry is soo big and advanced, would have to mean something tottaly different and maybe with a high risk of people not liking it or just generally not working.

Well you're right there, thats for sure. Still a lot of people desire something completely different simply because we're bored of the same combat style, same races, classes, theme, even enviroment and setting/lore.

oh well. there's a reason why publishers stick to the same formula. if something works, they see little reason to change it. while u cant ensure ground breaking success, at least you've secured your *** from making the company go bust. it only about how to better the competition by adding in special features and upping the graphics. if u're actually pumping money into a game, would you risk it by adding overtly different stuff? like gramble said, chars with 10 limbs. well while ppl do get bored from playing the same stuff over and over again, there's always a favourite etched in everyone's mind. thats why you will find yourself drawn back to pizza in front of the tv altho you're have been doing it for years down the road.

Give Aion time if you feel that it's worth it, then have suggestions on what to add etc. and what you feel is needed to the game, and the game will slowly build up and become better.
Well I sure hope they do that!

I think AoC has better graphics than MO.

I played the Aion beta and didn't like it, I'm not being funny but it felt like I was playing an Asian f2p mmorpg.
