I just dont understand either. I mean there is so many good ideas from games old and new, why not take the good from each and some innovative new Ideas and make something So good, people can not help but play it?
I was hoping Aion would be a lot like lineage 2 where the world is Massive and there are hundreds of zones. I stopped caring about aion when i found out the world is actually really small, in all honesty i don't understand how this is a p2p game.

L2 started off with a pretty small area in it's beginings, todays L2 is of years of patches and expansions added and i'm sure Aion will grow that way too.
Cant they see its more of the same? Is it because the pretty graphics?
Why do you listen to the music that you do? Can't you see that it's more of the same? Same key signatures, same dull 4/4 time (3/4 if they are ambitious) and most pop, rock, rap, folk /countryfall into about quarter equals 120 or so so same tempi, same modualtions if they even have a modulation, no real surprises at cadential points, etc.
You probably listen to it because the sum of the whole is better than its parts. Or "you just like it". It's based on taste.
Unless of course you are a huge free jazz person or the music of Edgar Varese, Elliot Carter, George Crumb or even Iannis Xenakis floats your boat. In which case then that point is moot.
As far as Aion being the same, it's only the same if you have been playing the same. My first game was Lineage 2 and Aion is not the same. Oh, there are some simularities but it is different.
And I've tried most if not all the popular mmo's that are out today. If I wanted to play them I would. But with the exception of my Vanguard account, Aion is my mmo of choice.

voted best mmorpg of the year 2009 Aion worth to get try,thats why.You can find one great video about the best mmo of the year 2009 hereonline-mmorpg.com/.
I got a lv 21 Templar myself and honestly I am finding the game to be so boring that I barely wanna login anymore. Defenatly a waste of money on Aion. I've played free to play mmorpgs that were more fun and engaging plus they are free. Graphics to me don't mean much. If anything Aion focuses to much on the graphics and gameplay got pushed aside because of it.
lvl 30 templar here and i will say i must agree on this the templar is the slowest class in the game on not just movement but attack mobs same lvl as you can just as easily kill you then you can kill them also grouping penalizes you unless your all around the same lvl
Because it is another mmo that is out there for any who like it will find a home to play in. I believe it can only benefit the players as developers will evolve and maybe change things for the better. Might not, but who's to say what the future holds.
If no advancement is made, good or bad, then no true evolution can happen.
First game I have played where the moment I started to move around and enter combat I didnt automaticaly feel the game wasnt as smooth as wow combat / movment wise. Aion is one of the first games that plays as smoothly as WoW which is very nice I hate feeling like I am playin an inferrior game.
Is it more of the same? Course it is everything is but its new its smooth and it will do for now, Feb 2 Star Trek worth a look :P
Unfortunately, not even the graphics are _that_ pretty. Personally I think Aion got left in the "mediocre" bunch and should have been revamped before release to US/EU
i liked Aion aswell, until today, today my lvl40 Assassin got suspended by NCSoft, i know NCsoft has been pretty aggressive against the gold sellers and botters, which i totally understand, but suspending my account because i bought 2000 Orichalcum from some random guy from the broker is outrageous, i talked to NCSoft and yes they didnt suspend my account because i botted or because i could have bought gold from the gold seller, i didnt do any of that, no they specifically told me it was suspended because i bought 2000 Orichalcum from the Broker from someone who used 3 party program to collect it with, and that they thought that i was an accumplice, so fucking BS NCSoft, my complain has of course been escaladed to a higher tier GM, so im looking forward to see what he will say, if my account get banned then NCSoft are totally retard, and i will never touch Aion again.

Yeh, your case is a bit over the top. But NCsoft is not the only one doing this, EVE Online (there was another post about that), with exactly the same problem.
I am sure that it will be resolved, since it is not your fault that you bought something from someone banned (which I am sure you were not aware of). but it does take time to investigate and you just have to wait I am afraid.
What I am playing seems to be a decent game, my only gripe being the fact that you are given wings and then told you can't use them for the majority of the deal. There are people like me, innocent bystanders that don't care either way and tell it like it is - or - you have the NCsoft fans, WoW-death cult members and even WoW evangelists here just to bash it from within. It's a real mess in the game's chat channels, as well as the obvious beef in the forums - but in the end all the hype is being set by the opposing ends of the spectrum that want Aion to die or for Aion to kill WoW. Very lame. There was never really any hype set by the developers either, nothing other than the flying gimmick and PvP abyss stuff was dangling on a stick (and flying is a bit meh atm). They never claimed to be doing combat, crafting, etc better - and they didn't. I think all this player-made hype started a comparison war where the only two being mentioned are Aion and WoW. See my above point of this game just being a battleground for WoW fans and haters to fight on.
OMG. WoW Deathcults and Evangelicals. I can see it now! "That's right timmy, drink the kool-aid, and you'll be level 81!
Or a man with hand on a stack of WoW raiding print-outs praising Blizard's name. "Lord, let us get through Kara one more time, and Haleiluyah!" -shudder-
I did try Aion. I hope everyone has fun, but neither Wow nor Aion is really my thing.
Cant they see its more of the same? Is it because the pretty graphics?
Why do they? Because even though its not something new or revolutionary, its a new game and something a little different than what they are used to playing (not mechanic wise, but overall new game smell).
To me the game was really 'meh' at best, but if others like it, more power to them. If they feel they spent money on something they enjoy right now, thats all that really matters.
Mechanic wise is very different, no auto attacking if you do your dead is not like WoW at all.
There can be a lot of reasons. I play it, why? Well...I have only been playing MMOs for about a year so that, particular, formula is still fun for me. I also don't play just 1 MMO; i think the issue with people getting bored with MMOs is they just stick to one. Like regular non-online games people usually do play more than 1. When I get bored of 1 I don't pay for the next month and give it a break (i.e. WoW for now until CAT comes out) and move on to another. Right now I am playing Aion and Fallen Earth. Both are different and both I find enjoyable. There are other MMOs that I do not enjoy, at all, but I know other people like them and that doesn't bother me at all, I mean why should it? Play what you think is fun. I listen to music that I think is garbage but I do have some guilty pleasures. That is why I find Aion fun, I mean there are more reasons but I dig what it has to offer, for me. It is huge in Asia and that is because different groups like different things. Cultures are different. If they like the grind so be it, and grinding will never go away. Even in Sandbox games the grind is there, just in different forms. Just because there is no leveling does not mean there is no grind. Another thing is that competition is great for companies. Let Aion stick around so that others will compete and new types of MMOs will surface.
Aion just didnt offer enough to do. Thats the problem with MMOs these days. Its all kill creatures, do quests and craft, with a little sorry pvp scheme duct taped to it as an afterthought.

I think a lot of people care about Aion because it was another product of NCSoft.
The popularity and successfulness of Lineage and GW have given Aion a great start.
If the same Aion were developed by any one of those take-your-money-and-run cash shop game developers nobody would care.
I was hoping Aion would be a lot like lineage 2 where the world is Massive and there are hundreds of zones. I stopped caring about aion when i found out the world is actually really small, in all honesty i don't understand how this is a p2p game.

Difficile est satiram non scribere
Everyone in this thread cares to some degree no point in denying it..you posted.
Why does anyone care for any game out there?
Why do you care for what other people think about why they care for this game or that one game? (god even I got confused by this one)
I care about Aion because I like to play the game. Simples...
