props to you for doing some research on the game.
ya ha some people say "why do they need to know this?" and then there some other people wondering about those people "why do you care to even write a post if you didnt need to know this" and then theres people that say "causes hes a weirdo trying to pass time on his poor excuse as a life" but then there are those people whom do want to rant on about those kinda stuff and they say "Ya i thought AION was gonna be another grind fest too... and why would this be any different... but you gotta look deeper than that i guess ^^ heres to everyone whom arent as shallow"
For the very same reason I'd like to know why you have so little of a life that you ask people why they posted on a public forum

Make this game freee to play with Payable add on!!!!!!
Naa i prefer P2P as the flow of cash helps fund a decent game. And if this game is good id be more than happy to pay them my cash in return.

Hy all i wonder when is going to start the beta?:P and maybe one of you heard about something being a demon? or we cant?
you can play as a demon is just that they havent talked about it yet or said any info about its classes or anything.

then its worth to pay to play for it :PP for me thnx for the answer
The asian stereotype is only caused by all the smaller companies making clones of the popular Korean MMOs. Now that the companies who made the popular MMOs are creating new MMOs, the Korean market's stereotype is shifting. Aion will be the first game NCSoft made in-house after Lineage II. Its other rescent publisher titles have also been off-putting the grind. The same holds true with other major Korean MMO developers/publishers. Alot are actually moving into Casual Games rather then fantasy though.
I also used to think this would be another Point to Click Asian Grindfest. But now after I learned a bit more about it, I think it will be a WSAD Asian Grindfest...
Clearly some of us shouldn't think in danger of hurting ourselves then *cough* above post *cough*

Ive been looking into this game since it was 1st annouced, its about time we got some new vids showing off its progress. Im not sure why people wanna call it an asian grindfest but i suppose well see once it released wether it is or not. I prsonally dont mind grind. Why? because i always play with 3-4 real life friends and chatting while leveling is an important aspect of playing an MMO for me. I tend to like asian games because even though their leveling tables are steep, they normally offer a reason to pvp and for me thats a must. I dont pvp just because there is pvp implemented. It gets rather boring w/o a real purpose or gain.
I think a lot fo the bad reputation comes from the clones that lesser known companies make and port over to the west. Games that really have no content so they fill it up with grind. Its gives the western player the idea that all Korean or asian made games are like this. Ive had the priviledge to play Japanese/Korean games ( at least thae ones that dont IP bad
) because i have friends in those countries who help me out and i must say there is a lot western games could learn and vise versa.

A: The level cap is still at 50. The speed is incomparable to Lineage or Lineage 2. It was much more similar to western MMOs. It's not quite as fast as WoW but depending on the player you could reach the level cap in a month.

Welcome to the community
Welcome to the community.. cant wait till this game is released ^^
The thing about this game is that it is supposed to be a game that breaks the grind. It's just that no one trusts this BECAUSE it is coming from a Korean company, even though people don't realize that it is actually being made by the Korean branch and the American branch of NCSoft.
Although they have said that the speed is comparable to something like Lineage II, it does not mean the way you go through the levels is the same.
Besides, even if there WAS grind in the game, I'd rather grind while flying than play WoW and grind.

TBH from what I read about this game, its indeed suppose to be a completely new MMO kind. And everything you just said is true yes. I think the whole concept of Angels and Demons is kinda interesting too...
I still feel this after all they do say they will elinimat the type of grind common in asian games but saying isant doing. Netherless i wil watch this one and even paly it when it comes out and hope they get it right. If not there are plenty of other games im looking foward to.

PvPvE has me excited. Changing the look of your gear independent of its statistics is also another feature I've wished for. Two big reasons for me to check out Aion and give it a chance on release.
I believe levelling is a way faster than levelling with Lineage II.
Also earlier interview mentioned that they were determined to avoid number grinding (from AionFuse):
