It's going to be interesting to see if the company can survive another MMO shutdown, but things are not looking good core players canceling their pre orders left and right..the game getting more Craebear with each patch..dark days ahead for Ncsoft.

Dude this is all based on your opinion. Untill the game is shutdown then we can ask why? Don't even think of labeling me a fanboy; cause I don't even like NCsoft's games.

gotta love posts like this lmao
What an original and well thought out post from you jotull.........

I don't think it will fail, but me and wife are trying beta from preorder and she hates the look. i hope the plan to give the graphics a bit more then the WoW /guildwars + graphics. i was hoping for more like lineage 2 +++ . the game play seem very plain . i will still play it and see what higher levels have and hope that they have great guild stuff and hope for some form of guild if not player housing. If not then will be just another grindy game from the east...
Because games with these features are so successful right? Wait, no, in fact, there isn't one actually.
Aion's going to do fine.

You know guy....I can spend a week telling you how retarded you post is. NCsoft is designing a game that will appeal to the broadest group possible, and that group doesn’t want Gank on sight PVP. They had to tone PVP down or they would not have had a marketable product, I think folks like you are just pissed because you were spamming all the major forums that Aion was going to be Forced PVP and NCsoft made you look like idiots.
Honestly who cares if a couple sociopaths cancel their Pre-Orders?....Aion is still at number 1 at Gaemstop/EB, and at number 3 on Amazon.
Aion didn't fail it is in fact a massive success.
Why did aion fail... 3 months before launch.

I don't like Aion very much, but did you realize that Aion will probably pull a large subscriber base from the looks of it? If it does that means you are WRONG.
I actually find the graphics quite nice, it seems like an amped up L2 graphics style. I am also enjoying the gameplay even though its nothing revolutionary or anything.

No doubt. The OP says Aion has failed and it doesn't even come out for another 2+ months!!!
Stop the QQ already!
Aion isn't even out yet..ROFL
and it's a massive success overseas.
This thread amuses me.

No way, not even in the same zone as L2, Aion is more like a water color painting not a living breathing world.
This is way beyond inorance! (ignorance*)
You can't say aion failed actually aion is a major success allready in asia and I hate aion cause i waited 2 years checking online for news and when i tried it i lost interest right away, but that dont mean it will fail. If you try all the crapy mmorpgs coming out of korea and how many people play them you would know better that will not fail.tabula rasa failed cause it was a shooter mmorpg.
Yep you are absolutely correct this game can't possibly survive with only 3.5 million subscriptions.
Haha?
I really hope your entire post is sarcastic.
Well lets see..that is one who votes fail and how many telling you how dumb you are?
God PVPers talk about how big wussies PVE players are but I swear I have never heard a group cry more than they do.
Carebear carebears Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Grow a pair man its just a game.
I don't even know if we should even be replying to this thread at all.
It Had 3.5 million before folks found out that NCsoft did a bait and switch. They took the PVP game cut it's throat and left it in a alley...They have nerfed it so bad that it is damn near impossible to Rift gank now. real gamers (notice I said real gamers not Carebears) will not stand for this and they will vote with their wallets.
This reminds of why beta's should remain beta's, and not constant open beta's. It's come to the point of where people buy a fileplanet subscription or hawk around MMO sites waiting for a beta key and just abuse the beta as a "Take a look before you buy" tool, and using up all the keys that should be giving instead to those who are actually willing to provide constant bug reports and actually ATTEMPT to "Beta test" the game. I'm glad I don't have to deal like punks like the OP in alpha tests, I would go insane.

Wait... so you assume Aion fails despite the fact it did not fail yet in Asia?
And it seems for you no one is playing the Beta - everyone's just canceling their pre-orders and jumping boat.
I must be seeing ghosts then, the beta servers are so crowded we have to use the channel-system to our advantage otherwise we can't hunt (fortunately the channel system is very clever to prevent area overcrowding), although we may need to switch channel a few times to find the right one.
And about PvP, what is wrong with it? Are you sad because you won't be able to camp newbs? Is that the kind of PvP you want? The kind of PvP I want is a challenge - if I'm raiding enemy territories I want to draw attention - and the 1.2 bounty system or w/e it is called will help me achieve it. If I'm in the Abyss, I'm in a constant war, it's basically full PvPvE.
I don't even know why I bothered posting this as OP does not seem so mature considering his opinions seem so absolute for him.
Dude....the vast majority of people do not want forced PVP I mean who wants to be collecting mats for crafting only to be waylaid by six sociopaths ten levels higher than you? They did not take away you PVP you still have the Abyss...NCsoft did a smart thing when they decide no forced PVP, and they did not bait and switch you Brian Knox gave folks plenty of heads up about it.
Just chill out.Dude....the vast majority of people do not want forced PVP I mean who wanst to be collecting mats for crafting only to be waylaid by six sociopaths ten levels higher than you?

Just chill out.
The game isn't going to fail, it hasn't failed.
Its still currently the 2nd most played MMO in exsistance. I think that you are extremely premature and perhaps in some way personally offended in your campaign against this game.
What did Aion do to you? Did it kick your dog?
Seriously you sound waaaay too mad about a game that you can't possibly have that much invested in.
No if it is the same Jotull I'm thinking about; him and a couple others spent a good bit of time on the Aion beta boards telling everyone Aion was forced PVP that the producers were lying to us to get us to buy and talking about "how sweet it would be to gank all the WoW noobs before they QQ quit" Well Liv banned their sorry asses and announced that there would be no Forced PVP in Aion, Brian popped on a bit later and confirmed it.....and since then he has been going around preaching how NCsoft betrayed the PVPer.
In short this tard is nuts.
why it fail
mm let me see aoc ,war ,lotr and prob a bounch of other previous game
they all have the samer problem ,initial cost and fail
almost all player today are tired ofd spending from 45 to 80$ of initial cost +the 2 moth time card another 30 dollars just to find 3 month later that the game is almost dead
now most go f2p route almost same fun bnut you dont have to spend from 75 to 120 $ at the beginning to know if its the style of game your willing to spend time in
most big name game tried time and time again in the past 3 years the nice graphic route it just isnt enough
people want it all nice story nice pvp nice check wow when it lunched it wasnt the highest graphic hell everquest was looking better then wow but content in the game was top notych story as a big past
you can literally read book of wow and see the lore etc
aion is completelly the reverse of wow it looks very good but without a soul its just a shell
add to that all the hack making this game an exact replica of counter strike
could shoot trough wall even radio control bullet around wall lol
hack will kill a great game very fast in p2p
why ?
lol why would i pay 100 $ for aion and get cheated everywhere in the game when i can play any f2p and very often not get cheated
i can already say that a lot of player will skip aion and play directly guild wars 2
guild wars was a way better game and right now is a better game then aion gees and it 4 years old if ncsoft use the same way they used for guild wars
gw 2 will be a huge success
i m willing to bet it will do mutch better then aion in america
and lunch of diablo 3 is just too close people wont bother with aion why in september blizzard will lunch enough new feature to make their player wait till diablo3 or even f2p
