BTW you did not miss anything, it was a game that was populated with 50% gold farmers and gold sellers...gold in L2 was called Adena.
Agree with this. AION is the worst ever for gold spammers. Since day 1 i got in average 3 to 5 gold spamming whispers per hour. And despite being in Korea out - as i understand - for a year ..... only after about 2 weeks they have at least added shortcut to block whispers. But no reporting. So one must stugle through complicated "help" system that never get reponse. Then I have reported *same* player (that was very pervasive) around 3 times .... yet after about 1 week after first report he was still in and happily spamming with whispers my other alts that have still not blocked him or even in general chat. Nobody at Aion it looks cares at all for gold spammers. Maybe because main players base are they.
But main reason I left permanently with 6 alts between 16 and 18 was when I discovered that after that level game becomes more or less disgusting grind fest for leveling. Up to this level however quests I admit are pretty fun. I enjoyed that first levels but lost all interest when I have discoved sad truth. Well ... I have not maxed out to speak from personal experience ... but have read from forums or chatted with much higher level players.
What will i be you ask?? I will be one of the thousands that throw it in the trash, damn korean grind fest
noob.. go throw it away go back to WoW were you belong...
you can't deal with a game that needs intellect to play, not just pressing keys over an over you WoW players make me sick.
stay with your heads in the sand!
ROTFLMAO!! I was wondering when the hysterical Aion Defense Farce was going to show up. I suppose it hasn't dawned on you, that not everyone who doesn't care for Aion is playing WoW?...<rolls eyes>
to all the people that read my last out-landish hateful andd uncalled for post my apology to the community... as well as all other gamers aside from WoW, yes i played WoW ... i was trying to just defend aion as i like it and i think it has a small quality of DAOC in it sorta "holycow did i just compare aion to DAOC some one slap me HARDCORE... what i mean is the way we had to play in daoc was to use combos and not just single spells and ramble key pressing to fight !
forgive my rank on calling any one a noob it was a long night when i posted that idiot comment i shall watch the topic and keep my replys to the issues and topics of the forum from now on... by the way if the gold spamming and power lvlers keep selling their services Aion will be gone with in 2 yrs time IMO, sad to say but there is always D2 coming and cant wait fot DAOC 2 if it starts production... i think its on the table of they might do it, i did not read the entire post on if they are going to do it or not.
I CAN ONLY HOPE !
Have played: Asheron's Call, Champions Online, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Dark Age of Camelot, EVE Online, Guild Wars, Lineage, Lord of the Rings Online, RF Online, Rohan: Blood Feud, Shaiya, Ultima Online, Warhammer, WoW and SC, BW, D1, Diablo 1 expantion, D2, D2x, Warcraft 2, & 3 !
"Rigid Classes" Yep that is Aion. That is the problem with this game, few choices. Why is it players flock to games where they don't have to make choices? Where is the challenge? Seems to be the norm when it comes to games coming out of Asia.
8 very different class choices is choices. Compare that to Fallen Earth which the community is raving about its skill system, and you only have about 4 real build choices in that game. I'd rather have the 8 classes, than 4 viable skill-based builds.
Even if that were true then you could say I want to be 25% class one, 60% class two and 15% class 3, the choice would be yours.
FE is all about compromise, there is no single build that is uber, every single choice give an advantage or disadvantage. For example I like high damage long range combat with scopes, but it makes me extremely vulnerable to martial artist. I could have gone for shorter range firearms with mobility but I like my personal style of playing.
You see melee people that depend on attack avoidance, melee that depend on psi buffs, melee that depend on toughness, melee/pistol combo users, snipers, gunslingers with veritable gun kata's, weird priestly healers, stout crafters, soldiers types with a ton of armor and heavy weapons and its all available to you through personal choices in how you buy up your skills and stats.
That being said; to the gentleman with the blue letters: Not all people like choice, sometimes it is just comforting to have things prepared for you so you can focus entirely on playing and not worrying about whether or not you make a wise choice. I think we should be happy that the same day two different games came out that in many ways create a wonderful experience for different types of gamers. Both Aion and FEs are great games but they certainly do not cater to the same audience.

i do not know about u but i am one happy lvl 30 rank 5 assasin and until now i had to grind 5 bars of xp , the rest i got from normal quests/abys quests/party quests , so the part with the grinding after lvl 18 is bull , the grinding comes arround lvl 35+ when indead the quests become harder much harder to do alone , but after 40 u get again manny quests until 45 or so , so unless u make a character higher then 20 u have the right to make an opinion about grinding .
The main thing with aion in my opinion is party the hole game is based arround that , party for xp ( loot is better in party too ), party for pvp , stay with your mates and u get higher faster stay alone u get to grind more material items loot and less armor/wepon items
