Aion = September 22.

Aion is a great game, and no matter what style of game it is people will ALWAYS compare it to wow. I really wish people would just stop with the same stupid conversation everytime a new game comes (" this game is awsome cuz wow sucks" , "nuh uh! wow is better", "nuh uh! wow sucks" over and over and over)

While thier is a lot of WoW fanboi's, mindless wow haters are no better, and bring wow into the conversation just as much as fanboys(if not more).

As for Aion, the game is pretty fun, and i plan on playing it the day it releases. However, i'm predicting that it takes the same route as Warhammer did. It got tons of hype,and was getting close to 1 mill subs, then suddenly flopped after the first month. Hopefully it can keep on strong, but i have a feeling this will happen.Hype is evil!:(

Edit: What i mean by Warhammer flopping, is that it's subcription base took a giant drop, although it does still have a lot of members and is a petty good game.

WoW is boring as all hell at those levels. It's one of it's major flaws. I also had to force myself to play, but once u get into, do instances, pvp, etc its much better. I only played cause my max level friend was guiding me. Soon enough i saw the glory in it. So basically the kind of ppl that play it are prolly the ppl with the most patience. But theres almost 12mil subscribers so there is no way to accurately stereotype them. Plus, many of these "WoW players" are in the games you know and love. WoW has introduced millions of ppl to the mmo world. But ya there is no way u'd have any kind of accurate perception of the kind of game WoW truly is, cause u got to lvl 20, and prolly still didnt know what you could do at that point.

AND WHERE THE HELL DID OP MENTION WOW?! MrTingTing, you fail on that accord.

Because the people who complain about Aion are mostly WoW fanboys.
Your comeback fails btw.

Prolly gonna sound like a fanboi, but whatever...

No game will replace WOW. I sometimes find other games to distract me for awhile, but the quality of them never compares to WOW at all. It's just too loaded with content and too polished at this point. I've played it on and off since launch day back in november of 2004. And still there is plenty of content I've not even experienced, not even played as a horde yet(well not past the newb stages anyway)

And they keep pulling me back in. Patch 3.2 is looking so damn good. I hate you Blizzard.

Trust me, reading fucking helps.

Meh they had several years to make the lower levels more fun to play... however they decided to just release a few expansions for more high level content :/

How much is the P2P rate?

O, silly me. I didnt know you were omniscient and you know everyone who says everything about anything. Thats cute. I guess people also can't have their opinions. Pretty sexy imo. The fact that ur a "fanboy" (oo what an insult) of Aion, does not make everyone who doesnt like ur precious un-released game a fanboy of something else, nor does it mean something is wrong with them. They can have their opinions.

Now all i was saying from the beginning is that u mentioning WoW (which should be illegal in threads that have nothing to do with WoW) caused all this comparison and stir-up in the thread. No duh, not rele a big deal, but its still pretty fail.

I agree. Sucks. But at least they go by fast.

nice only two month left. Attila isnt right.The game have a good story + crafting and so on.He is just a old wow boy -_-

i will definitly play aion and then i change to KotR or FF14

Aion reminds me of what Lineage 2 should have been, a lot of potential if it can generate a good pvp base and not just the guild/alliance domination that killed lineage 2.

$15 as always

as for the WoW comparing shit, it's natural for this game to be compared to WoW because it'll be aiming to take it's place

Its been said many many MANY times that no mmorpg is made to take another ones place. This game as much as i cant wait for it will hardly even scratch WoWs playerbase.

There, now you have it. :)

On topic, for those have pre-ordered and thus received headstart, this might be interesting to know:

The key you get and use to gain access to the closed beta events (from pre-ordering only) is also the same key that allows you access to headstart. So when you input the key now to gain access to closed beta, that account will automatically change to open beta access when that time comes, and then headstart when that time comes. So you will only need the closed beta/headstart key.

Also, I know some of you may be worried that after the headstart is done (release day) you'll be left there with no copy and thus not being able to play (thanks to slow retailers/online shops). You don't have to worry, after the headstart, there'll be a short grace period, most likely 1-2 days, where you can still play even if you haven't received your retail key/box yet. Those days do not count as headstart though, they will be used in your 30days free time.

Thirdly, some have been irritated that EU launches later than US. And that is true, we do have a later launch, and it's not because NCwest is shafting us in the EU or thinks less of us, it's because deliveries and shipping works much better for us in the EU during fridays rather than tuesdays, like the US has.

Having the shipping done on a tuesday in the EU could potentially give a lot of suppliers problems with reaching the date set, that's why we have it a few days later. It's because it's easier and more accurate for suppliers.

And lastly, even though the EU and the US has slightly different launch dates, the headstart access for the EU and the US will be simultaneous and will (at least scheduled) occur on the same day/time.

So really, we in the EU have not been shafted, it's just the way it has to be.

the thing is, chinese servers run Aion 1.0 while Korea is about to release 1.3, and they added a ton more quests,increased the quests rewards and added PvP exp which amounts a hell lot, so now its really easy to quest your way to the cap without ever "mindlessly grinding" a mob



another sweet case of "i dont know wtf im talking about but i hate staying damn quiet"

Aion has taken a 20% of the Korean playerbase since it got released.there was a 20% of the korean playerbase that was playing other games before Aion pop up. its to be assumed a big chunk of those were in WoW since koreans loved WoW...

but Korea is not the issue here. the real deal is that Aion had 1m players in Korea, and shortly after releasing in China it jumped to 3.5m.

2.5m players in china alone,which if iirc had close to 4m WoW players...how dense can you be to believe that most of that people doesnt come from WoW, specially considering that in China they couldnt even get WoW's expansion so chinese players were starting to get tired of the same.

---

Yet nothing you have said is facts nor is it telling me why you keep saying WoW has a competitor if only 20% of their player base has been taken.

Remember WAR and AoC the same numbers were said for those games a month or two later it was back to normal. Explain to me why you think Aion is a threat to WoW.

Please dont be a hypocrite saying stuff like
another sweet case of "i dont know wtf im talking about but i hate staying damn quiet" then dumb things like its to be assumed a big chunk of those were in WoW since koreans loved WoW... just aint smart.

Before you type out another wall of text give me facts not speculations.

i think they need to get working on a WoW2 and fix everything wrong with WoW1..
besides that, both games aren't even "that great"

but i'll hopefully play aion sept22

i hope they will never make something like that.That will fully destroy the warcraft history...and totaly sucks.Blizz isnt so stupid to make a second WoW.
It will be something new.No Wacraft and the next mmorpg will not have a name like "world of..." ;)

Heresy! indeed. Kill this traitor >:(

Eagerly awaiting Aion as well having played most of the other P2P games including wow, war, LOTRO, Lineage 2, AoC. The Chinese OB was fun and refreshing reminding me of my L2 days. NCSoft really does make great games.

The combat in the game is great much like AoC's combat. The only game i've enjoyed the combat in more has been Chronicles of Spellborn which really had a superb system.
