    This is the most stupidest topic yet, not a chance of it being shutdown. It allready has a big publisher (NCsoft) and a big budget...

    I have to agree.

    It has already been said by closed beta testers that the game is playable. From what I understand many thought it could already be released.

    NC never gave a definite date on release. All they said was "we hope to beta/release by 'x'" date.

    Given the amount of money put in as well as NC being a very large company with deeper pockets than small devs AND the fact that they need another large scale mmo to hit the market, it seems that Aion will most definitely be released.

    Add to that that they hired a North American CM recently and I think we are ok.

    - Jaeho Lee (NCsoft Vice President) made an official comment on the standing of their other MMORPG project, Lineage 3. Lee made known to the company’s foreign investors that “the Lineage 3 team has been reset”. The decision was made after “5 days of intense meeting and discussion”, during which it was concluded that the project lead Yonghyun Park(Lineage 3’s Project Manager) would be dismissed and the project itself put on hold. “We will bring together a new team for the project and get it back on track as soon as possible” said Lee, “Aion and other projects will not be affected by this in any way.” An employee at NCsoft added that they are “not sure if the designers that were working on Lineage 3 will remain with the project or if they will be moved to other projects.”

    O geez. Did you know what happened with the source code of L3 ? And they didn't even started for good to work at L3 and you are stating that it's vaporware?

    They started or they will start to work this year at L3 so again , can you PLEASE leave us alone? :)

    Serious , try playing tetris or solitaire , it will make you feel better ( I hope ) :)



     

    Exactly.

    Waterlily: you look at surfacy things a bit too much. Yes, the L3 team was reset. But you are not looking at the "why". That there was a source code leak, that they fired one of the head people, that others quit over this and they made the decision to start again as it looks like they don't want another repeat of L2 with a source code leak.

    Aion first appeared in 2006. I think we are doing ok. You worry too much and by comparing it to Duke Nukem you seem to be over reaching. As I said above, closed beta players have played it and have said that it is playable. Given the investment there is no reason to NOT release it.

    Well , he will surely play Aion once it hits the release and he will love it for sure.

    Let him be right now as it is , he will change his mind soon ;)

    With the release date being pushed back again, for the umptieth time, to 2009, do you think Aion will become vaporware?
    The other notion is the split between EU and US servers and no support planned to be able to play on both.
    I'm starting to think Aion will have Asian support but will become vaporware in the US/EU.
    This game gets pushed back again and again and there is still 0 support for a EU/US beta while every other MMO is being released, this is becoming a joke.

     

    Áion has not been pushed back since there was never release date announced to begin with. You should stop looking at fansites and retail websites for release dates when they haven't been announced yet.

    Ok, I just hope it comes out. And I'm really not trying to stir up trouble. I wanted to play L3 and people waited so long, only to be dissapointed,..

    Aion should be good when it does come out. Sorry, I hope it has a good release like anyone else cause it looks great so far, but so did L3. Lol sorry.

    Well, listen, no hard feelings. I get that you want the game out and are concerned that it will hit the trash bin like so many others.

    And sure, I suppose it's "possible' but quite frankly, highly unlikely. Heck, they stuck to Tabla Rasa and brought that one out!

    They have invested quite a bit of energy, effort and money and there is much to this game already so It's my guess that they realized that they wanted/needed to add to abyss content. Add to that that they all got sick over a period of time which caused them to push back the development a little bit, and you get what we have now.

    Actually, since i know the date was early 2009, i got very dissapointed ;_; ... my expectactios were for june 2008.

    And i would really love to play Aion, i'm so sick of the current MMORPGS out there.  I know Aion is going to be perfect.. but damn it, can't they rush it a little? at least open US  /  EU beta's. Or only Koreans have the right? i know its a korean game from a Korean team, however its  going to be sold and played in US / EU also.

    They're testing the game on a korean build, do fixes. While this is happening the game is being translated to english. When we get to play the game it'll be closer to a release build than a beta build.
