WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE TO PLAY? 300 HRS limit in a month? come on
why do you think this game is much more expensive than wow monthly fee? or any other p2p mmo.
monthly is around 13$ but it only has around 300 playing timew limit per month...
seriosly what makes this game so special?
1. IP is unknown
2. all UI interface is same like wow
3. nothing new in combat. its the same as wow+cabal skill graphics+perfect world aerial combat
4. graphic is nice=comparable to AOC
So, tell me, why would i play this game over wow.war. or AOC
and one more all of ncsoft game is not great..lineage 2? it suck

I was not aware of the time limit on the game. Thank you OP you just saved me $50.

monthly fee for the other p2p games is 14.99...not sure where you got 13.
There's a time limit?
300 hours a month, that's around 10 hours a day.
Tbh that's not a big limitation, might stop the 24/7 farmers though.
Dude......10 hours a day.......and thats if you spend EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY PLAYING IT FOR 10 HOURS! Not enough? You're kidding me, right?
Probably a good thing that they are keeping you from playing MORE than 10 hours a day
Don't you sleep, have a job, or have interest in anything else in life?

As we know, Aion will be released as a subscription-based game. But how much will it cost per month and how many types of cards will there be available?
Finally, yesterday NCsoft announced that Aion will start commercial service from November 25th, 2008 and there will be four types of prepaid game cards for choosing.
1-month card: 19,800 won (approximately 13.7 USD*), 300 hours for 30 days
3-month card: 47,520 won (approximately 32.9 USD), 900 hours for 90 days
3-hour card: 3000 won, (approximately 2 USD)
30-hour card: 12,000 won ((approximately 8.3 USD)
thats korean subscription fee as of the moment, how much would you think it will charge on NA/EU, they will likely follow this kind of subscription with TIME LIMIT!! oh my god.
they are too confident to do this...will see.
Lineage 2 was their most popular p2p mmo, and it suck balls
Time limits are fucking ridiculous. Thanks OP, you just saved me time from looking into this POS. Oh well, I haven't played a single NCShit game I have liked anyways, and I don't expect this crapper to be any better.
OP: Are you seriously playing or planning to play any MMORPG (or game for that matter) for 10 hours a day every single day without getting paid for it?

Its an asian payment scheme... thats definitely different than ours. So chill folks.
Until they announce the NA payment plan keep your damn pants on.
Hmmm 10 hour a day...well to think about it i never played more than 10 hours a day i think.
But the thing is, they made it with time limitation...why???
are they so confident enough that they make it more expensive than playing other mmo like wow/war/aoc?
and also, they made some rediculous penalty which they adopt it from a f2p= loose EXP every death.
just unbelievable
Hint prices list "WON"
This has nothing to do with what is going to happen in North America and I can guarantee there will be a traditional subscription model used (ie 14.99 a month unlimited hours), not a time based one. You can mark my words and call 911 if I am wrong.

Asia has some pretty bad problems with A) RMT thingies and
MMO Addicts. And I mean REAL addicts. Or have you heard of someone in europe actually playing until they -died-? (Though admittedly, that one kid got delivered into a hospital after playing WoW too long <.< >.>).
Anyway, I am pretty sure those are the major reasons for that. And seriously....who plays 10 hours per day every day of a month? I mean...-really-?

#1 13 a month is CHEAPER than every other MMO not sure exactly where your getting your pricing.
#2 THIS IS THE ASIAN price scheme. It is NORMAL for there to be two price setups for different countries.

There ARE MMORPG's out there in our market that cost less than ~ $14.99 a month.
I hate to sound judgemental, but something is really wrong with your life if you are playing a game more than 10 hours a day every single day without getting paid for it or anything IMHO.
Hell I think they should have those type of limits on all of our MMOs

I believe UO is the only MMO that is "Main Stream" thats below 15...and I only call it mainstream as it was my first MMO and at one point and time was the best.
I highly doubt the same pricing scheme will be used in NA/EU.
As far as the limit system stopping goldfarmers from playing 24/7, it just means the gold farmers will pay more per month than you do for more/higher time cards and will just pass the costs onto all the scumsucking cockroaches who buy gold. Which in turn will increase prices ingame for all you legit players trying to buy an item honestly ingame.
I dunno what this game is about or whatever but me i spend about 24/7 on a game... 3-8 hours grinding rest merchanting or sellin my wares...so no more selling if i join that game
If you play for 10 hours EVERY SINGLE DAY you have serious life management problems, no discussion there.
This is ten whole hours every day. If you spend a sunday with your family you can already play for 11 hours and 12 minutes the following 6 days. And these timeframes are so ridiculously huge... You'll have to start at 8 am and could still play until 7 pm with one hour lunch.
Remember, a regular work day lasts about 8 to 10 hours, 12 hours if you're doing shifts but then you get one day off. And you normally work 5 days a week...

Sounds to me like someone enjoys running a bot program 24/7. Time limits don't bother me one bit, Ill never hit those hours. Did you know in china, if you are underage you only get exp for playing for 3 hours a day, go over that amount and you get nothing,

Sorry, time limit is a time limit, somtimes i go to bed without turning my client off, if i am paying a monthly fee, why the fuck would i accept an additional time limit on top of that. Seriously, some of you people rationlaize the stupidest things.
"Its 10 hours a day.." "Only botters need more then 10 hours a day"
Seriously all of those arguements are stupid, There shouldnt be an additional time limit, what is with these new MMOs offering nothing and trying to get more for it.

What tangible reason should you need to keep your client on all night if not for botting? (other than raising your electricity bill for no good reason)

You say Lineage 2 sucks balls, Just because you dont like it yet it has 14 mil subs. even tho thats mostly asian, But they must like the game.
to be honest its a good game it just has a very very hard grind.
On a side note, What is wrong with 10 hours a day? Do you really have nothing else in a day like maybe sleep eat dinner watch TV or hell even go out? Do you really spend that much time on a game? I for one think its a GREAT idea and to fend off 24/7 botters, Any ways to each of there own i guess.
By the way 13 bucks for 300 hrs, Thats good most P2P games now are 15...Back to the old school pricing of 13 bucks wooo
Playing: Everthing
Played: DAoC,AC2,EvE,SWG,WAR,MXO,CoX,EQ2,L2,LOTRO,SB,UO,WoW.
I have played every MMO that has ever come out.
sorry mate but you would get timed out of the game for going AFK for so long a period. Log out and let someone else play that is waiting.

You gotta love these kids/trolls.. You know that this 300hrs/month it's only for Korean servers. This payment method always were been like this in Korea. In NA/EU where won't be any hrs/ month you pay and play how much you want.
i would be very happy if they introduce that payment sheme to na/eu as well because it elimitates 24/7 botting
an average of 10h/day is a lot, 300h of entertainment for 15$ is a lot (compared to cinema, comics, dvd...)
if there were such a server i would even deliberatly go to a server that would limit gametime to lets say 120h/month. thats 30h/week wich is alreaddy close to playing the game as a job.
maybe a nice experiment would be to make different servers, some with unlimited gametime some with limited gametime so everybody is happy. i wouldnt mind paying the same monthly fee on my 80-120h/month server if i knew that gold farmers and botters would be reduced by that.
