Is AION going to be B2P or P2P? What do you think?
I say P2P, for some reason I think that it'll end up on that side of the coin.
Most games that end up being good do.
Might be. Just think I'm too hopeful. hopefuly it will live out my hopes :)
I most likely couldn't play it anyway, lol.
I bet the req. specs are EXTREMELY high. :\
System requirements for Aion: Tower of Eternity
Intel Pentium 4, 2 GHz equiv. CPU
1GB RAM
Internet access
DirectX 9.2c
GeForce FX 5600 128MB graphics card
sound card
5GB+ hard drive space

That's actually not so bad. I mean... for that kind of gfx (:O) It's not that much. Though, I thought the Gcard would be like 8500, but luckily, no :)
Yeah, requires way too much RAM for me to play. :P
hehe. Well for me too, if I wasn't to get a new computer soon, but if it goes P2P I can forget everything about it. Then I would most likely going to try PW... Or Dark and Light
I don't know anything about your economy or the prices of comp's in your country. But, here in Denmark computers with RAM ain't that expensive. :-)
Hah, in America I personally think that RAM's overpriced in stores, but online you can get it for fairly cheap.
P2P obviously.
Probably pay to play.
However buy to play wouldn't be unacceptable...
Isnt it possible that it will be F2P? o_O
why do you people keep making threads about this?
we all know it's going to B2P AND F2P
just look at NCsofts history of games for crying out loud ...
Aion is the next Lineage.
you can hope as much as you want, i'm 150% sure that's its b2p and p2p, at release, don't be surprised if NCsoft shattered your hopes ...
They did however make guild wars and it's many expansions which just seem like new maps and reskins to me, however, some people like that kind of thing, buy to play...
But I doubt Aion will be buy to play.
The reason why it will be pay to play is because chances are it'll be a good game, not like this free rubbish we've been getting.
You want a free dinner? You get the worst. Same with games.
my bet: B2P and optional subscriptor fee, just like Hellgate London
Let's take a look at NcSoft:
NcSoft have about 6 games ( SOH, SOV, L1, L2, TR, EXTEEl) which is P2P. Then they have a lot of random games ( not so famous games) like: ATrix, Point Blank, Punch Monster and so on. Then they have the famous Guildwars Series which is B2P. And with GW getting more and more famous and together with the P2P games there might be a chance that Aion is going to be B2P- BUT F2P, Never...
Well let's just hope that it will be B2P :3
That's a nice guess too...
Btw. What does Q2 and Q3 stand for??????
it'll be both...
For all the people who voted f2p wanna tell me how maintenance will be kept on a game like this if its f2p? sure it will have more players but will it be worth it.....
0 updates loads of bugs etc i think ncsoft are smart enough to make this p2p there is clearly no way they can make this game f2p unless they have as much money as sony and are willing to go for the ps3 tactics....which they dont.
at TS maybe u should have thought about the topic a little more a topic like "Do you think Aion is worth p2p" seems alot more reasonable.
Plus no one has even played the game yet so after people play and see that it is good they will clear their heads abit...visuals are not everything and alot of gamers are "finally" starting to see that
Ok, let me give you the info I have from my conversations with NCSoft.
Aion was announced when NCSoft said they were releasing 4 free to play titles. This would lead you to believe that Aion is going to be free to play. The plan of this I personally feel was as a smokescreen to get hype for the game.
The official company line is "We have not made any decisions on the business model yet". Since the graphics and gameplay are far superior to Lineage 2 though, count of this being a game you need to buy a CD key for, as well as pay a monthly fee.
Guild Wars wasn't made by NCsoft. It was done by Areanet. yes, i know Areanet is a daughter company of NCsoft, but NCsoft-made titles have never been free, i can't come up with one single free title coming them NCsoft themselves.
i comply to that
I wish it would be buy-to-play and just have loads of expansions.
Forget Aion. Go for Warhammer Online.
I guess I don't understand why anyone would think anything other than P2P. The game will be P2P... look at it... look at it's specs the way it plays... it's P2P. Definitely not B2P
it will most likely go P2P it also says on the wiki but meh... and id prefer it to go pay to play anyway for many reasons ^^ oh yes its by NC soft so surly it will got B2P then P2P and i like the idea of a close community :)
