    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.

    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

    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.

    Probably pay to play.

    However buy to play wouldn't be unacceptable...

    No, it isnt. I mean...look at the game. Look at the specs. Do you really think it's gonna be F2P ?

    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.

    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??????

    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.

    Well, you have your opinion and we have our. And about the title of the topic... Well if you are so clever then do it yourself. I have not spammed the forums with it, so nothing to discuss...
