I just hate it when people come to these fourms and post stupid ass comments like "oh this game is just another WoW clone." or "Just another Korean Grindfest.". it makes me sad to see how stupid and ignorant some people are. if your going to say shit about a game do some research on it then come here and post.
I will admit this game is a little bit like WoW, but then again what game isnt? it has been stated thousands of times before that Aion isnt really anything new its just taking stuff from other games and improving them, and throwing in a new feature in every now and then. like the stigma system, and the fact you can take stats from one set of armor and put them on another. This game isnt trying anything new instead its just playing it safe. this game looks like its going to be a nice Solid Game. So those who want to play a game that isnt going to fall apart on them i would look into this.
And for those who say this is just another asian grinder LOL. this also has been stated that this game is going for a more weastern style game (questing and such). so plz All people who come to these fourms PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ do some research instead of just leaving stuipid ignorant comments.
Sorry for the Rant everyone.....

i agree with you completly i hte ppl that do that
I think the big cause of this is the lack of information. It took me quiet some time going through the internet to find the Euro site for Aion, which gave me a fairly decent idea of what's going on.
I agree... I made almost the exact same thread here like 2 days ago. But at least more people agree ha.
Lack of information hurts these games a lot! Aion is a game that I've been "kind of" following for a while now, but the sad thing is that most of my MMO friends never have, and probably never will, hear of Aion, at least until it has already released.
Same goes for Darkfall I guess. People have forgotten about it, never heard about it, or stopped caring about it all together. Without good information, people will just come and post blatant things like "lolWoW2.0" and things of that nature.
Make the information easier to find, or else you're severely limiting your consumer base, which is not good for a *massively* multiplayer game.
The OP is right. But as part of the future community of AION we can do our best to spread the word and debunk the myths about the game. Those who keep making those stupid comments are either trolls or simply ignorant.
Half is ignorance, the other half is in spite of.
I'm starting to wonder if going through all this trouble trying to convince lazy, annoying and hapless folk who would end up being future party mates you'll end up despising.
I'd say let them continue to believe whatever they want with no regrets. Let those who do their homework get rewarded.

I would never compare any NCsoft game too WoW...
Than again i only played WoW to level 20 and decided it was cartoony and carebear... anyways i trust NCsoft, i think they did a great job on Lineage 2. Aion should turn out pret good imo.
Simply said aion=korean or where ever grind fest!
I say that because free to play or ftp games are shit and always will be, does the sword look bigger than tha avatar/toon then it is korean or china develop. You give me something original and I will play it,but most asian companies follow blueprints, and guess what we kinda set the market for that! Think NEW! New standards not buy "x" weapon on item store. The most ridiculous thinking ever heard of! Entropia is a great game go play it=(
Are you trying to tell us what Aion will be like without even reading the FAQ? F2P what?
Now, seriously.
LOL Perfect example of what im talkin about...
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
LOL Perfect example of what im talkin about...
Indeed. But most of the time, people who post stuff like that have at least the basic understanding that Aion isn't your typical Korean mmo and whats being promised to us is a game with less of a grind. With that being said, they just spew out misinformation in hopes of confusing people who don't know anything about the game and/or they just hate Korean mmos in general and don't want to give any of them a chance. When I know people are sceptical, but would genuinely like to know more about the game to get a better grasp on what it's bringing to the table, I'd steer em in the right direction, but when people just want to hate for the sake of hateing, well, Suu141 pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'd rather not play an mmo with people like that.
maybe those kind of ''ppl'' are paid by wow and other , allready old and crap games to talk those lies.
LOVE AION

Doing simple kill quests is grinding, too
Valid point, but the counter point and the whole reason Aion fans, such as myself get mad about the "grind arguement" is that; one, the amount of time needed to reach cap is not to far behind WoW's time required. Two the quests aren't simple kill quests, they are pretty much as broad and varied as EQ2, WoW, and other such games.
Entropia? You're not even in the same ball park. I agree it's pretty ridiculous you think this is F2P.
(,,,)=^__^=(,,,)
you have read my mind....it would be a blessing if most from wow did NOT come over to aion. half of the reason i hated wow was because of the horrible community of players.
Good that you actually caught one of the idiots in this thread. Trap sprung!
It's a shame they are destroying the real hype value of this game.
But it doesn't really matter, as long as NCSoft will not make the same mistake as Funcom in opening 50 servers when 20 are enough.
that's what i wanted to say, it's all very well that they DON'T play Aion (we'll be better off without them), but when they cast there "as low as possible" hype votes when they know sweet f a about the game is really REALLY frustrating.
We need to have a "critic's impressions rating" displayed with the game info, more visible than the hype value.
So far all the critics have been very positive and I've seen some 90% "first impression" scores.
This is what we need people to see when they come to find out more about Aion, not some value that has been ruined by people who have no clue what they're rating.
I just hope that in the coming months marketing and coverage steps up and more peopel are shown what it is TRULY gonna be like.
think tho, the more naysayers, the bigger the sleeper hit. People that talk shit about it in forums bug me to no end, but what will make it satisfying in hte long run is when AION is released and is the next big MMO(or best) that allthose naysayers can go eat their words, and I can shove it in their faces.
It's almost 2010, and I am just not wiling to tolerate clunky graphics while being told that "gameplay is more important than graphics". That excuse won't wash with me any more. I expect my games to have both good graphics and good gameplay.

I am really really really looking forward to this game. I dont care if it is a WoW clone or not. The graphics look good, from what Ive read and seen it looks that it will come together in a great MMO experiance. Who cares what the Naysayers say? I mean..the game isnt even out yet..so how the hell do they even know its a clone? I think the old player base and the new age (WOW fanatics) have created some sort of MMORPG twilight time period. Where everything has to be a clone or bad. People said Warhammer was a wow clone and ive played both and they are nothing alike lol. What makes you think that it matters what they say about AION where nothing is even close to being the same.
I can't wait to play Aion
I think it will be a winner
What a dumb with stuck head in a hole guy have to be like you to say this is a WoW clone and a grindfest? Seriously what the hell?
Music is the science of manipulating people trough sound.
And politics is the art of manipulating people through words, same for the media.
Though honesty lasts the longest, and the most honest thing to reach it is to give a few people a taste of the merchandise and make them spread the word (ea. the preview event that last occured).
Everyone pretty much said the same thing.
I like the quest system.
The crafting is good.
The flying is great.
We didn't get to make our own characters but did get to try out a tweaked version.
and the list goes on.
What I can conclude is that this is going to be one to buy, or at the very least try.
And I don't like people saying they don't like killing for no reason, when they're flying straight for the price when they hear the word "PVP".
When you're on the top of the scale with your Guild, you're pretty much doing the same, grinding, but not for exp but for honour points, or whatever your favorite MMO grants you as a reward for killing your opponent.
Arragh I hate people like that. In my experience its mostly just nutters who play wow trying to stop people from playing other mmos instead of their beloved game.
------------------------------
this game is not in the least bit like WoW, nor will it be a grindfest, sure there will be some grinding but i doubt it will be anything like L2.
