    Default Which P2P MMORPG?

    Hello everyone, I have recently decided to join a P2P MMORPG and I would like your help to choose which one.

    First off I have some question's that have to do with the english version of Aion which I believe is currently in the beta stages (NCSoft I think). When will this game be fully released by them? How many more betas are there? I read if I purchased the pre-order of Aion I would be able to get 7 days of free extra game time and access to the beta? Is this still possible or am I too late?

    I really don't have my mind set on a definite MMORPG I would like to subscribe to...I only know I don't want World of Warcraft or Guild Wars as I have already played those in the past.

    So for now I guess the possible candidates would be:

    1. Aion
    2. LOTRO
    3. Warhammer

    Which one do most of you OnRPGer's play? If not those, then list what you do play.

    I've tried the trial for LOTRO and Warhammer and I have also been in a CB for the korean version of Aion...All of them I enjoyed a whole bunch but a list of pro/cons would be nice...

    Ok seems like Aion is the popular choice but as I asked when does it get fully released? If I purchase the pre-order do I still get the 7 additional days of game time along with the 30 days included?

    I've not played Aion, so can't tell you anything there.

    Lotro. The best PvE there is, if you enjoy PvE, then play this!

    Warhammer: I really enjoyed it, but got tired of it quite fast. If you like PvP, then this is the game for you. Heard it's more or less dead now though.

    Aion - decent. currently most popular.
    LOTRO - best pve.
    WAR - don't do it. game is so unbalanced and messed up.

    Aion online for sure, LOTRO is interesting and fun, i'd say its pretty good and worth it also, buy imo i enjoy aion more..

    war was rly good.. but no community made it feel like a singleplayer game so i couldnt get into it

    Ok...I pretty much know that Aion and LOTRO are the best choices but can someone answer my question...When does Aion become fully released? (Out of beta stage)

    Once the game "releases" and you pay the rest of the money for the preorder and actually *buy* the game it gives you 37 days free instead of just the regular 30.

    Also OBT is somewhere down the line here but we have no dates yet.

    Woah wait...So on top of the 50$ for the pre-order you have to pay more later? I've never really pre-ordered anything so I don't really know.

    Aion for definite, especially since the flight is not just a means to get around in the game world.

    I guess I won't pre-order...Seems like a waste just for 7 extra days an a couple in-game items to pay 50$ up front then have to pay more later for the actual game...If I do play Aion it'll have to be after it releases and I can just get a subscription and not have to buy the game...
