    Default Stepping away from WoW

    Hello everyone i was wonderin if you could help me. Im so freakin sick of WoW im not even sure if ill go back to it when cataclysm comes out and im searching for a new MMO to keep me occupied until the old republic is out. I was checking out aion and read some reviews, the only thing that turned me away was the lack of endgame and a lack of content but can anyone give me some info on the game?

    thanks!

    It's gonna be a while before you can find another MMO to replace WoW.

    Aion's good but it's got more grinding compared to WoW (Which isn't a bad thing since the max lvl 50, changing to 55.) And yes, Aion is lacking in game content, but updates are coming out soon for it if I'm correct. (Or is the update already out?.) I personally think Aion is more PvP based.

    Alot of people on here don't like Aion so you'll be best off trying it out for yourself.

    alright thanks man yea apperantly this new patch that just came out brought alot of content to fill gaps between levels to ease the grind. and it did seem extremely pvp based but is the pvp and the combat worth paying monthly for? the videos ive seen seem kind of boring.

    I never got into the PvP (Account was hijacked by some Taiwan arsehole.)

    So, really, I think you'll have to try it for yourself. Who knows you might love the Castle Siege wars that occur.

    i hit lvl 41 on aion before the exp increase or whatever, i dont recommend you play it, its flashy, its cool, its got character customization, but thats all it is, there was not a single change in gameplay from lvl 1-41, there is only one instance u can do before lvl 41, and it is pretty lame, the pvp is honestly crap, melee characters are broken, they cannot fight for shit in the air, and almost all pvp is in flight zones, you wont encounter much pvp going on in the abyss unless its a scheduled keep raid or whatever there called i forgot most ppl dont even pvp because thats not the best way to get pvp points < LOL, the battles lag even on my beast computer there is just too many players in 1 spot, and my bathroom is bigger than the size of these keeps, lame. I recommend you do NOT pay for this until ANOTHER big update comes and i mean big, this big update added stuff yes, but for how much content it had before (nothing) this update is very minimal and didnt add F all, new flashy upgrading and all that to suck the suckers in longer.

    Take a break from wow, play it again when the expansion is released, find some other things to do till then, if you cant stay away from games till then, try other things like all points bulletin or starcraft2.

    Just trying to save you, time, money, and disappointment, Aion will last you a weekend but that's all it is, its a one night stand.

    Uh, I think you should try Everquest 2
    (Aion is probably a good choice too, but.. EQ2 is really worth a shot!)

    Nope, 1.9 didn't add any new content, besides armsfusion and flightpaths.
    It's still the same game as patch 1.5, well have new content in 6 months (2.0)

    Single best thing in Aion in my opinion: Jump Shotting. I miss that enough that I'm honestly thinking about coming back to see 1.9.

    You should play a game that will get you respect in the online gaming universe.. There are some WoW players who are switching to Starcraft 2.. you should also.

    In Short.. WoW sucks play starcraft 2 (or at least hon)

    How does wow suck?
    You give no reasoning in why he should switch or why Starcraft 2 is even any good. which i dont know cause i didnt play the beta.
    And Hon is ****ing terrible if you have never played it or dota.
    because the community is worse the 4chan's community.
    people will insta kick new players without helping them.
    if you didnt want noobs to play with you make the game No noobs in the title
    not NOOBS ONLY i haz 1700 psr and my kd is 2.1.
    and even when you join no stat games it still happens.
    i mean yes there still some nice people in the game but thats not easy.
    Now in short.
    i dont have many games to tell you because i only play wow and hon. >.>
    Sorry.

    Oh and I played HoN for about a week and it wasn't bad..but quit because I didn't want to play. I play LoL now though, it's a lot of fun IMO, and community isn't too bad.

    P.S: Also quit WoW recently and need something to keep me sane... I'm not saying something similar to WoW, I'd love something different. Eve Online looks super fun but I would really prefer something free.. ^_~
    Damn dude, your WAAYY late on the SC2 beta :|

    Wait what? WoW takes skill at 80? You mean dodging giant glowing things, slamming every spell out on cd, etc., takes some skill? News to me.

    And fyi I was a lvl 80 Disc/Holy Priest.

    lol.. WoW is one of the easiest games in the world which is why its popular. Comparing WoW and almost any RTS/FPS games isnt even possible because they are on completely different levels of skill.. I cant even think of how to say how easy WoW is because if you dont think it is easy then obviously you dont play any type of skill based games..


    And @ person about SC2 beta.. beta phase 1 is over.. beta phase 2 might start on the 24th hopefully.. but you need a beta key to be in the beta anyway.. I pre ordered the game so I got a key like that..

    As a note I did quit the game after my first couple raids in Ulduar, and ToC because as a student I didn't have time for it.

    I'd show you my private server characters, but no armories for those.

    I must say ive grown tired of wow as well i think they've just let it grow stale by siting on the same content for to long my guild is on the lich king weve not killed him yet but you can really feel the over all boredom on the bosses leading to him.

    On a side note ive not found anything good enough to pull me away either i tried aion whiles its a beautiful game its not a very good one.
