Aion - new MMO out 9/22

Let's not turn this into a comparison thread.

-

I'm still firmly planted in the 'Aion will not get 3 months of my money' category. The main draw is it's 'AMAZING PVP' experience which is a full time job, not a game.

You grind for hours a day to stay ahead of the other no-life, mouth breathing mindless grinders so that you can be VOLTRON for a while until someone surpasses you in Abyss Points.

I'd also like to state that 'high end' pvp on the ladder doesn't actually involve pvp as the risk of dying and losing Abyss Points is far greater than the small amount you'd gain by actually killing another player so you end up grinding on the opposing factions guards and running like a woman everytime you see another real player. (Have I already said this?)

Aion will be a fun, VERY TEMPORARY distraction, nothing more.

Anyone remember Fury? This does not work.
 
well being that it's not even released yet i'm gonna get into it and hope that the devs will fix all the endgame stuff before my lazy ass finally makes it there ... i'm pretty confident the asian crowd is gonna keep a solid community in aion so im not too afraid of the game dying ...

they really do need to add a translator though ... playing ffxi with japanese players was like being on a pro football team every session ... plays running like clockwork
 
Aion has regional lockouts. I know you can bypass them with 3rd party programs, but there is really no need for a translator for the North American release when it'll be, ideally, just North Americans playing it.

I'll probably give FFXIV a try when it comes out too. I have a friend who is crazy fanboy head over heels smitten with FFXI and I'll have to at least try it out for his sake.
