This forums are totally full of discussions like this, and never lead to any point. I liked L2 for what it was... I liked WoW for what it was... I like Aion for what it is... In future i will like other game for what it will be... And so on... I play games because what the games are, not based in comparisons, i thing comparing games is a waste of time, but thats me
I totally agree with you,I like Aion for what it is ,period.Some people in these forums bash a game because it does not have the feature of another game and yet they complain that they are getting bored with the other game.
Pretty fickle minded,I would say... as they don`t know what they want because some people have become so jaded.
In the land of Predators,the lion does not fear the jackals...
I agree OP, it is .... LESS of the same. Where is my flying mount? Where is my mount? Where is my underwater world? Where is my seamless open world with NO invisible walls? Where are my extremely polished scripted RAid bosses with reactive phases. "Get out of that fire" and "please heal me in that pot " Where is my ladder based PvP competition? My beautfiul and extremely crafted/polished Battlegrounds? Where is my changing world in phasing? The destructable buildings and mounted tank combat? My dual specs? Where is ... the game? I guess it hides deep in the pockets of some Korean bank account.
Aion is DAoC light. Hell instead of three races you get only two and less PvE to participate in! LOL! And this is what people are calling a good MMORPG. As for WoW - Aion cannot touch WoW. WoW has more races, more clasess and way bigger world to explore and the BG's in WoW put anything Aion has to offer to shame. I love how the WoW haters that are hyping Aion try to make it seem otherwise but the fact is in the games. I have played all three and Aion is just not that good of a game. It's as if they cut a lot of corners to get it to market and what we got was an extermely shallow game that brings with it all that is bad from games like Lineage 2 and such. Lineage 2 is a better game than Aion, even. If Aion floats your boat, go for it, but do not try to make it out to be something it is not and it is a far from being the next big MMO - if anything it will be a niche' game for a few die-hard fans of of this style of game and will not be all that successful in EU and NA.
I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.
Your first few arguments are silly. WoW has more races and more classes. Everquest 2 has even more so by that criteria, Everquets 2 must be a better game, right?
Battlegrounds are better than anything AIon has to offer? How would you know? You know next to nothing about the game.
Remember how you were so ignorant about Aion you actually made a post in the off - topic saying how it was a Lineage 2 type Asian grinder? Oh but now it's suddenly Dark age of Camelot light?
Here is a suggestion Teala: Go play Mount & Blade and stop criticizing games you clearly know nothing about. It makes you look rather stupid.
For anybody who still needs further confirmation you can safely ignore anything Teala says about Aion and not miss out on anything, this comes from her own mouth:
"Game is just another Korean grinder. I saw nothing in this game that would get me to play it. Nothing. So glad I got a chance to play it. Because it saved me money. ^_^"
So a game that is apparently Dark Age of Camelot Light is also a Korean grinder because Dark Age of Camelot was apparently a korean grinder.

What are you doing in the AION boards Zorndie? Just trolling around? I guess someone is scared that Aion might actually be good after all. Dont worry Zorndie, Aion wont kill wow. It will be too hard for the majority of your casual crowd so WoW will be still 1st, you'll have people to play with.
And replying to your trollish post.... Where is your non minigame, non instanced PvP Zorndie?

And I find it ironic that a person who was bashing LotrO for being a WoW clone now are defending a game which is even more simillar to WoW against people who call it a WoW clone
But Aion have wings so it cant be a WoW clone!!!!
If WoW = The Beatles and WAR = Led Zeppelin Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

I think that's called WOW.... what you ask for it's WOW.... not sure why you even post here. Did you know there is an Open World Raid boss in T3 zone? In OB, people have access to the boss already, did you fight the boss at all? Flying mount?? Everyone can fly, why need a flying mount? There is a ladder based on PvP point, and people can spend abyss points to purchase items, so rank might go up and down...
Reasoning doesnt work with Zorndorf, just make fun of him!

Aion is a lot like WoW. So is Lotro.
I didnt say that Lotro was a BAD game, I said it's nearly identical to WoW, there is a difference. Also, Aion is less like WoW than Lotro is.

Seems the Irony you speak of doesn't quite exist.
LOTRO is nearly identical to WOW, Aion is less like WOW, so is Aion a LOTRO clone then or just a lesser WOW clone? Christ almighty does the madness never end?
As far as gameplay goes, if it's not broken it doesn't need fixing. Aion however was made for the Asian market and I highly doubt it will catch on in the west. There's some cool pvp features but other than that it's just L2 with wings.

This is a completely ignorant statement. Aion was made with a global audience in mind, developers have mentioned this when the game was in development and it's also obvious in many of the design elements.
To say it's just Lineage 2 with wings can only be described as ignorant and incorrect.
Lineage 2 is built around Point & click game mechanics. Aion is built around WASD movement
Lineage 2 is built around long monster hunting grinds. Aion is a more story driven quest experience
Lineage 2 features full open PVP with clan politics. Aion has Realm vs Realm PVP mechanics with a PVE faction involved.
Lineage 2 is designed from the ground up for the hardcore gamer. Aion is built with the casual mmorpg player in mind.
Saying Aion is Lineage 2 with wings is just as stupid as saying World of Warcraft is Lineage 2 in the Warcraft universe.
The reason for your statement is no secret: It's made by NCsoft, a korean company and the developer of Lineage 2. It's apparently far beyond your comprehension to understand NCsoft made a different, western styled game. NCsoft could have released EVE online and you would still suggest it's Lineage 2 in space.

Aion will be a failure but thats how it is when people let bad games make it out of beta. Non mini-game, non-instanced pvp is ganking when questing in WoW.

The first thing I thought when I logged into beta, lineage 2 and WoW had a retarded game baby. Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiion!
OP - Its because the gameplay is an exact cut and paste copy from WoW.
No matter how different the story is or how pretty and angelic the characters are, the gameplay IS more of the same to any veteran WoW player. In fact, its worse since you don't have anywhere near as many class spec customization options in Aion.

Sorry, the game already has a ton of subscribers. It's already too late for it to be a failure and you can bet it's going to do just fine here.

DAoC wasn't a Korean Grinder no, but it was a North American grinder. No vet of DAoC will dispute the fact that DAoC PVE was a grinder. Quest gave little to no exp and the best form of leveling was from
A. Grinding trees in Lyonesse. OR
B. RvR in the frontiers.
Both grinds.
So far 3 of my family members tested out AION, and several co-workers. All of which play wow for now. (I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it)
It is very funny to me that not a single one of them is going to leave WoW for AION, and all but one said it was nothing more than WoW with some wings with 1/4 WoW's polish. The one that didn't say that, said it had "potential" but wasn't enough for him to leave WoW.
I guess "potential" means it will maybe one day get better.
Basically saying, why would we leave a good game for another game that isn't as good in any single area.
Anyway, Teala, you aren't alone in your view of AION. Many people think like you.
PS. Gameloading you really shouldn't come on here and call people stupid. You have been on these boards for a long time, and over the years you have made several post I wouldn't exactly call genius moves. Just saying.
Something I can never understand all these animosity from other games toward new game. If you don't like the game, you DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY for the game. No one is forcing anyone to play the game.
Yes, WOW is king of the MMO, but there are lot of people NOT playing WOW, they like to play something else. I played WOW and it's an average game to me. Aion is another average game as well. Don't see the huge different between two.
More and more posts are asking for Mini game or flying mount or some feature are in WOW, if you want those things you should just stay and play WOW, no one is asking you to play another game. If you want PvP to level up, go to play Warhammer. If you like more race and classes, go to play EQ2 or WOW. This is a free country, you can play whatever you want.
Teco you are a scholar and a poet my friend. I agree with this guy.

Hey fanboi, where are these numbers, where is the proof? Subscribers is not beta, it is not people pre-ordering it to try it out, nor is it the free month you usually get with an mmo after buying it. AoC and so many others spiked in numbers but actual subscribers is fell where?
Ill be playing Aion. It is a great game and will only get better. So have fun playing that old, busted, and played out crap. I will be playing the hot, new, and fresh Aion! All the fine girls will be in Aion.

I really love post like this. I really do. It doesn't matter if DaoC was a western grinder as her claim was that it was "Just another korean grinder". Even a blind monkey could point out the huge difference between a traditional Korean game such as Lineage and Ragnarok Online and a game like Aion.
I love this part of your post. "I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it, my family members told me it sucks" That's some great logic right there. Apparently letting other people decide if a game is good or not for you is what you consider "smart". Do you also let them decide what food you should eat?
Your argument is rather silly. My family members didn't want to leave WoW for it so that means it's not a good game. A lot of people won't leave WoW for Aion. In fact, there are lots of gamers who won't leave WoW for any mmorpg out there. Does that mean WoW is the only good mmorpg out there? Ofcourse not.
Ofcourse Teala isn't alone in her views of Aion, there are lots of people who really don't know much about the game and simply bash on it because it's korean, hence the many invalid Lineage 2 comparisson.
I made you wouldn't call genius moves? Forgive me for not taking note, considering it's comming from someone who considers himself smart for not even trying a game and lets his family decide for him. Wait, did that post come from you or from one of your family members?
Aion is more of the same "WoW" clone if you narrow it down to PvE. If thats what you are after you will get the same endgame raid feel. The flipside is PvP where Aion focuses on open world pvp on an xyz plane. WoW focuses on instanced pvp done in arena's and battlegrounds. The closest thing Aion has to that is a pve instance where a team from each side has to race each other to the boss and kill it before the other does while along the way has options to ambush the other.

I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.
Your first few arguments are silly. WoW has more races and more classes. Everquest 2 has even more so by that criteria, Everquets 2 must be a better game, right?
Battlegrounds are better than anything AIon has to offer? How would you know? You know next to nothing about the game.
Remember how you were so ignorant about Aion you actually made a post in the off - topic saying how it was a Lineage 2 type Asian grinder? Oh but now it's suddenly Dark age of Camelot light?
Here is a suggestion Teala: Go play Mount & Blade and stop criticizing games you clearly know nothing about. It makes you look rather stupid.
For anybody who still needs further confirmation you can safely ignore anything Teala says about Aion and not miss out on anything, this comes from her own mouth:
"Game is just another Korean grinder. I saw nothing in this game that would get me to play it. Nothing. So glad I got a chance to play it. Because it saved me money. ^_^"
So a game that is apparently Dark Age of Camelot Light is also a Korean grinder because Dark Age of Camelot was apparently a korean grinder.
DAoC wasn't a Korean Grinder no, but it was a North American grinder. No vet of DAoC will dispute the fact that DAoC PVE was a grinder. Quest gave little to no exp and the best form of leveling was from
A. Grinding trees in Lyonesse. OR
B. RvR in the frontiers.
Both grinds.
So far 3 of my family members tested out AION, and several co-workers. All of which play wow for now. (I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it)
It is very funny to me that not a single one of them is going to leave WoW for AION, and all but one said it was nothing more than WoW with some wings with 1/4 WoW's polish. The one that didn't say that, said it had "potential" but wasn't enough for him to leave WoW.
I guess "potential" means it will maybe one day get better.
Basically saying, why would we leave a good game for another game that isn't as good in any single area.
Anyway, Teala, you aren't alone in your view of AION. Many people think like you.
PS. Gameloading you really shouldn't come on here and call people stupid. You have been on these boards for a long time, and over the years you have made several post I wouldn't exactly call genius moves. Just saying.
I really love post like this. I really do. It doesn't matter if DaoC was a western grinder as her claim was that it was "Just another korean grinder". Even a blind monkey could point out the huge difference between a traditional Korean game such as Lineage and Ragnarok Online and a game like Aion.
I love this part of your post. "I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it, my family members told me it sucks" That's some great logic right there. Apparently letting other people decide if a game is good or not for you is what you consider "smart". Do you also let them decide what food you should eat?
Your argument is rather silly. My family members didn't want to leave WoW for it so that means it's not a good game. A lot of people won't leave WoW for Aion. In fact, there are lots of gamers who won't leave WoW for any mmorpg out there. Does that mean WoW is the only good mmorpg out there? Ofcourse not.
Ofcourse Teala isn't alone in her views of Aion, there are lots of people who really don't know much about the game and simply bash on it because it's korean, hence the many invalid Lineage 2 comparisson.
I made you wouldn't call genius moves? Forgive me for not taking note, considering it's comming from someone who considers himself smart for not even trying a game and lets his family decide for him. Wait, did that post come from you or from one of your family members?
Far from a kid but thanks for the complement. Asia is a big place....3.5million total since March. Not impressed, and still would love to see an active monthly subscriber number.
Also gameloading I've read some of your old posts. You tend to like to hype games, play then for a small amount of time then trash it. I'm sure in 2 or 3 months when Aion fails in NA/EU we will be reading your posts on how this game sucks too. Tibia? lol ok. You are a typical fanboi and anything you say should be taken as such.
Aion is DAoC light. Hell instead of three races you get only two and less PvE to participate in! LOL! And this is what people are calling a good MMORPG. As for WoW - Aion cannot touch WoW. WoW has more races, more clasess and way bigger world to explore and the BG's in WoW put anything Aion has to offer to shame. I love how the WoW haters that are hyping Aion try to make it seem otherwise but the fact is in the games. I have played all three and Aion is just not that good of a game. It's as if they cut a lot of corners to get it to market and what we got was an extermely shallow game that brings with it all that is bad from games like Lineage 2 and such. Lineage 2 is a better game than Aion, even. If Aion floats your boat, go for it, but do not try to make it out to be something it is not and it is a far from being the next big MMO - if anything it will be a niche' game for a few die-hard fans of of this style of game and will not be all that successful in EU and NA.

I do not let other's decide anything for me, I knew AION was going to be shit years ago when the videos first started to surface.
When my 2 brothers tell me, yep nothing new to see here just same ol same ol bullshit, and I have been playing games with them for the better part of 20+ years, I tend to believe them when they tell me it's not as good as something else.
Now if some bum off the street told me AION was crap that I didn't know, maybe I would blow him off and try it anyway just to see for myself.
However that isn't the case, they know what I want.
You presume to know me or what I think, I honestly do not like wow all that much and am growing quite tired of the game, I have been in a top 100 guild in wow for years now and it is getting very tiresome. I really do wish something would come out that could make me want to leave wow. AION just isn't that game.
Also you make an assumption that I somehow hate asian grinders or "korean" grinders.
I love korean games, I did a piece on here not to long ago as a review on ether saga. Which I liked very much. Ether saga is a grinder to.
I have played them all dude, L1, L2 all the way down to shit not even out yet like Dragon Nest.
It has nothing to do with that, it has to do with AION being no different than anything that is already out. Why would you leave one for another.
For me to leave WoW you would have to beat WoW, and not beat wow in questing, or beat wow in bg's you have to beat wow in every single aspect of the game.
Until a game comes out that can do that, nothing else is worth the time to download or the money.
Oh, i forgot you proved to have no life. (2500+ posts trolling every mmo made without having time to play your favourite mmo sure prove this...and more than this...)
Oh, i forgot that your favourite beloved mmo is WoW so you want to defend it. (2500+ posts defending WoW without time to play it prove this...and no more...)
So..If you can..pls leave this thread because we are discussing about Aion here..Thanks for your understanding.
Comments
I totally agree with you,I like Aion for what it is ,period.Some people in these forums bash a game because it does not have the feature of another game and yet they complain that they are getting bored with the other game.
Pretty fickle minded,I would say... as they don`t know what they want because some people have become so jaded.

Yes EQ2 is a better game.
What are you doing in the AION boards Zorndie? Just trolling around? I guess someone is scared that Aion might actually be good after all. Dont worry Zorndie, Aion wont kill wow. It will be too hard for the majority of your casual crowd so WoW will be still 1st, you'll have people to play with.
And replying to your trollish post.... Where is your non minigame, non instanced PvP Zorndie?

And I find it ironic that a person who was bashing LotrO for being a WoW clone now are defending a game which is even more simillar to WoW against people who call it a WoW clone
But Aion have wings so it cant be a WoW clone!!!!
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
I think that's called WOW.... what you ask for it's WOW.... not sure why you even post here. Did you know there is an Open World Raid boss in T3 zone? In OB, people have access to the boss already, did you fight the boss at all? Flying mount?? Everyone can fly, why need a flying mount? There is a ladder based on PvP point, and people can spend abyss points to purchase items, so rank might go up and down...
Reasoning doesnt work with Zorndorf, just make fun of him!

Aion is a lot like WoW. So is Lotro.
I didnt say that Lotro was a BAD game, I said it's nearly identical to WoW, there is a difference. Also, Aion is less like WoW than Lotro is.
Seems the Irony you speak of doesn't quite exist.

LOTRO is nearly identical to WOW, Aion is less like WOW, so is Aion a LOTRO clone then or just a lesser WOW clone? Christ almighty does the madness never end?
As far as gameplay goes, if it's not broken it doesn't need fixing. Aion however was made for the Asian market and I highly doubt it will catch on in the west. There's some cool pvp features but other than that it's just L2 with wings.
This is a completely ignorant statement. Aion was made with a global audience in mind, developers have mentioned this when the game was in development and it's also obvious in many of the design elements.
To say it's just Lineage 2 with wings can only be described as ignorant and incorrect.
Lineage 2 is built around Point & click game mechanics. Aion is built around WASD movement
Lineage 2 is built around long monster hunting grinds. Aion is a more story driven quest experience
Lineage 2 features full open PVP with clan politics. Aion has Realm vs Realm PVP mechanics with a PVE faction involved.
Lineage 2 is designed from the ground up for the hardcore gamer. Aion is built with the casual mmorpg player in mind.
Saying Aion is Lineage 2 with wings is just as stupid as saying World of Warcraft is Lineage 2 in the Warcraft universe.
The reason for your statement is no secret: It's made by NCsoft, a korean company and the developer of Lineage 2. It's apparently far beyond your comprehension to understand NCsoft made a different, western styled game. NCsoft could have released EVE online and you would still suggest it's Lineage 2 in space.
Can you give us some examples please to back up your saying?

Aion will be a failure but thats how it is when people let bad games make it out of beta. Non mini-game, non-instanced pvp is ganking when questing in WoW.

The first thing I thought when I logged into beta, lineage 2 and WoW had a retarded game baby. Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiion!
OP - Its because the gameplay is an exact cut and paste copy from WoW.
No matter how different the story is or how pretty and angelic the characters are, the gameplay IS more of the same to any veteran WoW player. In fact, its worse since you don't have anywhere near as many class spec customization options in Aion.

Sorry, the game already has a ton of subscribers. It's already too late for it to be a failure and you can bet it's going to do just fine here.

DAoC wasn't a Korean Grinder no, but it was a North American grinder. No vet of DAoC will dispute the fact that DAoC PVE was a grinder. Quest gave little to no exp and the best form of leveling was from
A. Grinding trees in Lyonesse. OR
B. RvR in the frontiers.
Both grinds.
So far 3 of my family members tested out AION, and several co-workers. All of which play wow for now. (I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it)
It is very funny to me that not a single one of them is going to leave WoW for AION, and all but one said it was nothing more than WoW with some wings with 1/4 WoW's polish. The one that didn't say that, said it had "potential" but wasn't enough for him to leave WoW.
I guess "potential" means it will maybe one day get better.

Hey fanboi, where are these numbers, where is the proof? Subscribers is not beta, it is not people pre-ordering it to try it out, nor is it the free month you usually get with an mmo after buying it. AoC and so many others spiked in numbers but actual subscribers is fell where?
Ill be playing Aion. It is a great game and will only get better. So have fun playing that old, busted, and played out crap. I will be playing the hot, new, and fresh Aion! All the fine girls will be in Aion.

Here you go:

Aion is more of the same "WoW" clone if you narrow it down to PvE. If thats what you are after you will get the same endgame raid feel. The flipside is PvP where Aion focuses on open world pvp on an xyz plane. WoW focuses on instanced pvp done in arena's and battlegrounds. The closest thing Aion has to that is a pve instance where a team from each side has to race each other to the boss and kill it before the other does while along the way has options to ambush the other.
I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.

So far 3 of my family members tested out AION, and several co-workers. All of which play wow for now. (I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it)
It is very funny to me that not a single one of them is going to leave WoW for AION, and all but one said it was nothing more than WoW with some wings with 1/4 WoW's polish. The one that didn't say that, said it had "potential" but wasn't enough for him to leave WoW.
I guess "potential" means it will maybe one day get better.
Basically saying, why would we leave a good game for another game that isn't as good in any single area.
Anyway, Teala, you aren't alone in your view of AION. Many people think like you.
PS. Gameloading you really shouldn't come on here and call people stupid. You have been on these boards for a long time, and over the years you have made several post I wouldn't exactly call genius moves. Just saying.
I really love post like this. I really do. It doesn't matter if DaoC was a western grinder as her claim was that it was "Just another korean grinder". Even a blind monkey could point out the huge difference between a traditional Korean game such as Lineage and Ragnarok Online and a game like Aion.
I love this part of your post. "I was smart enough not to waste my time after work to download it, my family members told me it sucks" That's some great logic right there. Apparently letting other people decide if a game is good or not for you is what you consider "smart". Do you also let them decide what food you should eat?
Your argument is rather silly. My family members didn't want to leave WoW for it so that means it's not a good game. A lot of people won't leave WoW for Aion. In fact, there are lots of gamers who won't leave WoW for any mmorpg out there. Does that mean WoW is the only good mmorpg out there? Ofcourse not.
Ofcourse Teala isn't alone in her views of Aion, there are lots of people who really don't know much about the game and simply bash on it because it's korean, hence the many invalid Lineage 2 comparisson.
I made you wouldn't call genius moves? Forgive me for not taking note, considering it's comming from someone who considers himself smart for not even trying a game and lets his family decide for him. Wait, did that post come from you or from one of your family members?

Far from a kid but thanks for the complement. Asia is a big place....3.5million total since March. Not impressed, and still would love to see an active monthly subscriber number.
Also gameloading I've read some of your old posts. You tend to like to hype games, play then for a small amount of time then trash it. I'm sure in 2 or 3 months when Aion fails in NA/EU we will be reading your posts on how this game sucks too. Tibia? lol ok. You are a typical fanboi and anything you say should be taken as such.
I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.
Your first few arguments are silly. WoW has more races and more classes. Everquest 2 has even more so by that criteria, Everquets 2 must be a better game, right?
Battlegrounds are better than anything AIon has to offer? How would you know? You know next to nothing about the game.
Remember how you were so ignorant about Aion you actually made a post in the off - topic saying how it was a Lineage 2 type Asian grinder? Oh but now it's suddenly Dark age of Camelot light?
Here is a suggestion Teala: Go play Mount & Blade and stop criticizing games you clearly know nothing about. It makes you look rather stupid.
For anybody who still needs further confirmation you can safely ignore anything Teala says about Aion and not miss out on anything, this comes from her own mouth:
"Game is just another Korean grinder. I saw nothing in this game that would get me to play it. Nothing. So glad I got a chance to play it. Because it saved me money. ^_^"
So a game that is apparently Dark Age of Camelot Light is also a Korean grinder because Dark Age of Camelot was apparently a korean grinder.
DAoC wasn't a Korean Grinder no, but it was a North American grinder. No vet of DAoC will dispute the fact that DAoC PVE was a grinder. Quest gave little to no exp and the best form of leveling was from
A. Grinding trees in Lyonesse. OR
B. RvR in the frontiers.
Both grinds.

I do not let other's decide anything for me, I knew AION was going to be shit years ago when the videos first started to surface.
When my 2 brothers tell me, yep nothing new to see here just same ol same ol bullshit, and I have been playing games with them for the better part of 20+ years, I tend to believe them when they tell me it's not as good as something else.
Now if some bum off the street told me AION was crap that I didn't know, maybe I would blow him off and try it anyway just to see for myself.
However that isn't the case, they know what I want.
You presume to know me or what I think, I honestly do not like wow all that much and am growing quite tired of the game, I have been in a top 100 guild in wow for years now and it is getting very tiresome. I really do wish something would come out that could make me want to leave wow. AION just isn't that game.
Also you make an assumption that I somehow hate asian grinders or "korean" grinders.
I love korean games, I did a piece on here not to long ago as a review on ether saga. Which I liked very much. Ether saga is a grinder to.
I have played them all dude, L1, L2 all the way down to shit not even out yet like Dragon Nest.
It has nothing to do with that, it has to do with AION being no different than anything that is already out. Why would you leave one for another.
For me to leave WoW you would have to beat WoW, and not beat wow in questing, or beat wow in bg's you have to beat wow in every single aspect of the game.
Until a game comes out that can do that, nothing else is worth the time to download or the money.

Moderator's version
Zordorf, why do you troll so much?
Oh, i forgot that your favourite beloved mmo is WoW so you want to defend it. (2500+ posts defending WoW without time to play it prove this...and no more...)
So..If you can..pls leave this thread because we are discussing about Aion here..Thanks for your understanding.
What version do you prefer?:)
