    Default aion - fail of 2009?

    What do you think?
    I must say that I was really amazed of that game, at first.
    Everything looked so promising and that flying feature was really cool.
    Plus the good graphics.
    I thought that that game will be a really awesome nextgen mmorpg.
    However now I think it'll go down very soon, after it's release in europe/america.
    Think about it:
    what features does AION have that many other games don't?
    Flying is really nothing unique anymore.
    Good graphics..it won't take a year, till games with better graphics will come out(not the art style but engine-wise)
    NPC faction....a feature that might fail.
    And then the classes...how lazy can devs be?
    You have the very same classes, for each race.....on top of that they don't even have any differences, other than their appearance(tell me, if I'm wrong).
    And so on.....it'll probably be a generic asia grinder.

    who knows mate, I personally think itll be better than the majoirty of crap...ok nothing revolutionary at all but a much higher standard than what we usually get and with the way the MMOPRG industry is at the moment, thats all we can hope for.

    we really wont know til we play it....

    i kinda doubt it will flop, its exactly the game that most of us are used to play and like. asian style

    if they cut the grind in half unlike Lineage 2 and such,i see it gathering several million players in west easily.
    and you can be sure it will be a bestseller in asia

    Maybe it'll be a flop, maybe not. But anyways, WAR comes at Sep 23 this year so no time for Aion

    Still nothing SOLID on that date apart from some random staff member apparantly letting the date 'slip'.

    I still can't believe WAR has cut out the Black Ork and Dwarvern Hammerer.

    I wanted to be the latter.

    im waiting for next week's newsletter, sep-23th, even tho very widespread,is just a rumor still.
    if the leaked info is correct,there's supposed to be just 9 days of open beta for CE buyers...which is ******ed imho.

    edit: @karanos,i feel your pain. i was ohsomuch dreaming about rolling a BlackGuard .anyway i bet the game will own,and we'll have heaps of content till the patch with those 4 classes arrives.

    If they take a lesson from Lineage 2 and make the combat interesting (which from what I've seen they have), it should do just fine.
