people leveled from 30 to 45 (current max lvl in china) in two to three weeks, aion is nothing like lineage2, not even close.
Thats a good statement, even though chinese players are the worlds house for Leveling services , lol. Of course they blew through the content, they have multiple pepople playing one account to test and see how they will do when they iopen shop for power leveling services lol.
Hey you need to go racial and abuse a race or a country for that? After poking korean grinder, you poke chinese powerlevelling, what are you trying to do here? troll? fan hatred?
I no longer believe you care for the truth about Aion any more, you are a racist.
Starts out with 'it's nothing but a korean grinder with big boobs', to 'Aion is just lotro with wings', follows it up with 'omg I dont want to grind forever to get to max lvl' then to 'omg I dont want to get to max lvl this fast!'. Coupled with a 10 year old's arguments, he's not here to discuss the game.
But what offends me most is the need to resort to racism. I hope he is not an American. Its sad to see the need to dismiss the Chinese, they are rising so fast in economic power, they already eclipsed the West. If the Americans keep their head in the sand, well god bless America.
Why am I the only one that rather mob grind than quest grind? = Sucks. Anyway, I'll put up with the quest grind if the game is good enough. Regardless of the pace of leveling...

With the faction War, will there be seperate pv xp ? and what rewards will that pvp xp give you? Can you control actual zones and own land ? So far it seems the grind is moderate, for what ever reason from all the post here, (the Chinese players are simply more advanced at leveling as well as finding the loop holes with in application, it is not racism, it is a fact. Shanghia is THE most technologically advanced city in the world. Anyone who does not realise that is prretty ignorant to the culture. As an Anthropoglogy student who got A's in the course , I am pretty sure that my stereotype is farely accurate the 100 man operations for power leveling with in China. I personally find the Women of China gorgeous.)
Stereotype is 100% correct, Shanghai is the most advanced technnologically, which technology? all? which aspect? application or research or pure science?
By your statements, there is only 1 dimension in technology so shanghai is the most advanced on that scale. Or your have a way to collapse multiple dimensions into 1?
And anthropology means you can grade and shade races, you are very very knowledgeable indeed. Can you tell me which part of the brain of a chinese grows bigger or shines at night?
Women of China gorgeous, good spin. Which aspect?
Come on, you are giving vague and sweeping statements on issues that has so many dimensions. I wonder how narrow your span of vision is.

I don't mind grinding either, especially when there's a big juicy carrot on a stick.
Actually you won't be disappointed, as some quests (1 in each zone at least) are repeatable 100times lol so these quests actually invite you to grind them out. So yea there's something for everyone in this game.
Has anyone pvped and is there xp for it ? www.youtube.com/watch Make sure to watch part 2 as well
You can take over areas in the Abyss, and control them for you Faction.
This gives perks to you Faction... plus the Guild Controlling the Fort earn taxes from that area.
there is a 3rd NPC that Offsets the to Player Factions... if One side controls more land then other, the become more hostile to that side, leaving the other side alone. If I read it right it, one side gets too powerful, the GMs step in and control this race to even up the sides. It's a balancing act.
You get XP for PvP as well as PvP Points...
You should read up on it on aionsource, all the info about Aion is there.
L2 is a grind fest and does alright in the US.....i dont think Aion is going to bring anything new to the table. Just my opinion, but i may be wrong, we will see.

Unless u want to play the chinese or korean version, wait and see. NC West is localising it and rumours are, they are adding a lot more. So the NA release might be a totally new beast. Till then your guess or mine.

Well good, i think we could all do with something fresh and new. Im just going on what i read on the forums, which in truth we all have to take with a grain of salt. Im looking forward to to the NA release, hopefully it will change everyones negative opinions. Hopefully.

Yes, because NCSoft is smart enough to compete with it's own game. It already has a grindfest game, why would they need another? What they needed was something more casual, to compete with WoW, thats what Aion is.
First, I can't believe ANYONE that has played Aion (I am currently playing) can call it a grindfest. I don't believe WoW was a grind and if you feel the same then you will love Aion because its like WoW with quests for xp but it goes a little extra. I get xp for crafting all day or for every piece of mineral I gather while in the field, I don't struggle to lvl at all.
The quests are coherent, fun and many time challenging depending on your lvl, class, equipment etc. In FFXI when you died you lost xp, in this game when you die you don't really "lose" xp as it may apear because that xp can be bought back from a "soul healer" for chump change. So if I die 3 times I wait until it's time to advance to the next area, visit a soul healer and get all that xp back and sometimes that makes me lvl if I'm close tnl.
I have never played a game that gave xp for crafting and gathering simultanously as I quest and do missions. To me I feel spoiled. I bet if I honestly wanted to I could hit 10 lvls with ease if I actually "grind". I'm not a grinder anymore so I won't do that I just enjoy the game. I think it will do extremely well over here in N/A. I can't wait.
You don't get all of the xp you lost back from the soul healing.
I tested it once... I lost 3% XP on death, I got back 63% of what I lost.
I did not test to see if I got back 100% because I never bothered to check how much I lost. I figured it was 100% return because of the explanation the soul healers give you when you interact with them. Now I'll have to go check this out because I'm curious.
I remeber I died once at lvl 21 and the soul healer gave me back over 21,000 xp. I don't care if that was'nt 100% because I would rather get that back than not getting anything at all. This is good to know though, more incentive to fight for you life lol
Think thegrind is more defined now with this thread, it is probably take an average player 3 months to get to max, and then they will be able to enjoy the the game end content. With a world designed like it is, makes me curious how fututer expansions will play out, will they eventually go into space and find new planets ? The tax system is not fairly new cause they have that in L2 , when someone owns a city keep , and Aden being or use to being the main tax keep. The new thing for NcSoft and this game is the territory control, and that is the most interesting thing I've read, think if more people would write about that, it would perk more interest towards players who are looking for a pvp typegame with solid endgame mateerial. If they didn't do a sub fee like in Korea, I would probably try the game..
Actually it seems recently they've been trying a lot of their ideas for Aion out in Lineage 2. Crossing over ideas, which is great. In L2 they have Fortresses now which are siegable every 3 days, which cover control over smaller areas and do not accumulate tax. They give clan benefits and rewards and there are more of them. The same goes with the Kamael playable race added to Lineage 2, a lot of their style looks Aionish, and out of place in the Lineage 2 world, that and they can fly.
Future expansions will probably focus on the Abyss and the PvP content and adding raids and quest content to satisfy PvPers. They've already added content in Korea.
If you don't want topay subs, then play in China? Its pay per hour and $15 gives you 300 hours which isn't too bad, and no box price. Problem is, it's China, more lag and less people you understand.
The endgame doesn't start at max level, or 50. It starts at 25. You can enter the abyss then and start PvPing. Hell I have a level 22 Sorcerer and I already have a PvP point.

I got my first couple of pvp points when some Asmodeans jumped through a portal that opened up in eltnen, tried to help kill the Gladiator but I found out that he hits way harder than me since he was about 20 lvls over me...but I got points

In that case, can you tell what leve your attacker is at? Or the person you are attacking? Or is it like Lineage 2 where you can't really tell?
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
I'm American, an Korea grind is nothing like a American or European mmo, sorry to burst this magical "everythign is a grind" routine. Korean games are grindcore, there has yet been 1 korean game that didnt have you kill 1000 mobs to move the xp bar 1.5%. From watching the youtube videos, I can see that this game is no different. Good luck trying to sell this is off as "everything is grind." or "aion is Lotro with wings " Seriously think the game is a great fuel for the Asian market, but as we seen with a lot of NcSoft products, they dont sell after launch in America, the people who will play this will buy it and thats about it.
Really your American? Me too but I ownestly thought you were forgein with your horrible wordage and they way you jumped to conclusions and changed your opinion.
Why don't you research it or better yet, play the chinese version for 5 bucks and get 40 hours of gameplay.

The only way to tell the lvl of the player is by his weapon or the buffs he has on.
