Aion is P2P
NCsoft alraedy made this statement for the Asian market.
don't think that NCsoft is going to publish Aion as an f2p in the West ...
the only thing they're doing diffirent is focussing their gameplaymodel more to a western market, rather than an asian => more casual, less of a grind
besides sabertooth, 20 USD/month, are you insane? that's WAY too overpriced.
considering the EU doesn't recalculate USD pricing to EUR, instead, they simply replace USD with EUR, making that a 20 euros monthly fee, that would be near 30 USD if you calculate it back. Good luck on that ....
