    Yeah, going to try it. Going to give about a month to CO and to Aion and see if I can replace WoW.

    I don't like Aion... it just feels too much of an asian grinder and looks too anime for my taste.  And besides, with Cataclysm on the horizon? Ofc not.

    I've been in between MMO's for over a year now. Aion is the first game since Lineage 2 that has compelled me to subscribe.

    A lot of people will play Aion and alot of people won't. Can't the Aion fans and WoW zombies live in peace?

    I certainly will be playing Aion, and those who gut it out for Wow's Cataclysm will probably enjoy it sometime in 2010.

    Tip: Don't pose this question in the aionsource.com forums--you'll get destroyed. 

    They can adjust a game all day, but they can't help the issue between the keyboard and the chair.

    So in an attempt to make peace, you call WoW players names? genius......

     

    Nah, I'm not going to play Aion. Canceled my pre-order. i dunno, wasn't all that thrilling to me and so freaking linear it was painful.

    I'll be playing...and on 09/20 not 09/22!!! Pre order FTW!!!

  • grandpagamergrandpagamer Member Posts: 2,221

    I dont play WOW and am not going to play Aion. In fact i uninstalled Aion tonight. Going to play LOTRO and see what STO looks like next year.

  • Perfection66Perfection66 Member Posts: 218

    Aion is the best game i have played.

    I will leave WoW because it's is stale and boring. The game is for 4 year old kids with its cartoony graphics and immature community. I hate instance meaningless PvP aswell, arena is crap.

    Uhm, why did you play Wow in the first place then? The general rule is "if you don't have fun stop".

    But we still have to see if Aions community will be more matured than Wow, that is not something you will know until a while. Wow had originally a rather mature community, that then atracted more and more kids. What makes you think that Aion will be different?

  • tboxtbox Member Posts: 372

     Wow to Aion I can see the draw.  I don't play any mmo's currenty so I don't have a reason to play Aion. Tried it, was just ok. I rather wait for something a bit more evolved.  

  • logangregorlogangregor Member Posts: 1,524

    I dont know if AION is the best game Ive played EVERRRR, but for me it beats WoW as Ive played WoW since release, Im not a huge fan of Raiding and Ive played every class Ive found interesting in PvP. Im done with WoW. /bye /tear


    And I dont hate people who play WoW, I do however absolutely loathe blind fanbois that know nothing else of the mmorpg genre.

    I dont play wow, left it ages ago. Aions beta has already had a great helpful 'lets group' mentality type community.  If the beta is anything to go by the community will be in great shape.

    Not sure if you knew, but Aion has been out for a year in the East (Korea, Japan, China). The CB here in NA was only v1.0; the live version will be v1.5 (translated, localized, and much more feature-rich than v1.0). I don't know if you'll find a more polished initial release of an MMO in NA for a long, long time...

    As for "evolved", that will only happen when companies feel they can actually make money that way. Until then, they'll try to make money using game concepts/mechanics that are proven profitable.

    They can adjust a game all day, but they can't help the issue between the keyboard and the chair.

    It would probably go a long way if there were some HQ videos out there of classes other than sorc's pwning in PvP.

    There are a ton of HQ videos on youtube that features classes other than sorcs. In fact, I don't even think I have seen a sorc one yet.

    Youtube != HQ

    Edit. at this point I'm willing to even watch youtube garbage, show me one please, one that's not a dude ganking people at 1/2 health or lower level than him, or while they are fighting 2 monsters, I would like to see some serious 1 on 1.

  • aspiinaspiin Member Posts: 66

    No. Here are the reasons.

    1. There is nothing original or new. ( Dont give me the flying crud. It will not work on me.)

    2. Way too anime/emo looking (Its an eastern thing that I respect, but stay away from.)

    3. Stupid emotes

    4. No limits to customization. (And I mean good limits. Have fun playing with character with little heads and huge bodies. Does this not bother people? All it does is make the game a joke. Mind you it is a game, but I do not play normal rpgs with this so I wouldnt want my mmorpg like this.)

    5. I would not play enough for 15$ per month. Its really not worth it.

    MY opionions of course, just thought I would slap some sense into someone before they wasted money.

    Enderz.... That is probably the first post I have seen you post. Were I can say, yeah I completely agree. I have played WoW off and on during its 4 years of release. I love raiding (One thing differnt :P) and I've stuck with mages, rogues, and priests. I'm pretty much done with wow. I'm burnt on Ulduar and the new raids/instances are very short and not very fun as a raid. IC will come out, and if I feel like I have time to dedicate myself to raiding I may join WoW again just to play a boss or two. When caticlysm comes out, maybe I'll go back. It all depends on the current age MMOs and my life. I don't hate any of the players in WoW who are just like the buds I played with, but I do hate the fanboys who are all for the game. WoW just like every other MMO has flaws.

     

    @ the OP and everyone else

    I am technically converting from WoW, GW, and random F2P mmos to Aion on the 20th of september when the Headstart starts.

    People are picky of their games, and it's allowed. The reasons tend to be repeating funny comments such as: the game is too linear, the game is not innovative and don't talk about flying, and some others. The funniest was said today. No good limitation on custimization. Thats hilarious. It doesn't set right with you that your are able to customize you charecter. Lolz. I'm all for the simple presets and 16 options for custimazitions, but I got to admit the charecter creation is definitly a plus. Thats my 2 cents

    Playing: Guild Wars and Exteel
    Loved: WoW, Guild Wars, FFXI, and Lineage 2
    Liked: Exteel, WAR, and Lineage 1
    Hated:City of Heroes, City of Villians, Matrix Online, Runescape, and D&D Online.
    Waiting For: Aion, Guild Wars 2, FFXIV, and SW:TOR

    Tired of hamster wheels at the moment. Probly let this one slide by.

    Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
