Pretty sure it's P2P, which to me is a good thing, P2P normally has a more mature player base in MMos ( "more mature player base in MMOs"? I think I made an oxymoron!)
It is just that f2p games usually run stagnant on updates, and the cash shops usually have overpowered items. And the exp usally sucks so it will force players to use the CS for exp boosting items.
Overall most f2p games blow, are bug ridden, the gms dont give a crap about bots, and the CS ruins the fun.
I'd rather pay $30 a month on a good p2p than play a shitty f2p
My god has horns.... nah, I don't think he is real either.
If aion was f2p......it would fail.........P2P games r better cuz it brings in real players and keep out the styngy noobs ... even though there will still be noobs in aion ( what games doesnt have noobs ) but just not as many
im playing the chinese client atm and i have to pat hourly ($15 gets you around 300 hours) but the EU/NA version will be $15 with no hourly limit like other mmorpg

To me that sucks, looking at that, thats 10 hours a day if you were to use it in a month. Only the most hardcore are going to be able to spend that much time. It would be great to see a similar pay method here in the west. It would be cheaper for 90% of the playerbase and you wouldn't be stretched trying to get your months worth, you can keep the hours on your account and come back to it whenever you wish.
Also the lag on the servers isn't so bad, maybe it's in our best interest to play the Chinese servers, cheaper and there are ways to do it. The downside is the "unofficial english server" is also filled with Chinese players and the company running Aion there isn't doing much about the bots.

p2p crowd and f2p crowd are not that different.

It is going to P2P. They just haven't confirmed the price. But it might regular price. 15$/month
And P2P would be better. Updated content nearly every month, support, etc etc.
And yeah that CS in F2P games are murder. I spent 100$ on one game, for a new hairstyle, a cape, and name change.

How much will Aion cost?
We anticipate Aion will be similar to our other subscription-based games, featuring a boxed product and associated subscription fees.
I wouldn't even play it if it was F2P, RMT sucks and brings in farmers and botter usually.

How the hell do you pronounce Gotye?
I hope that it's p2p considering that so many other f2p mmo's, guild wars aside, are full of bugs, horrible translations, and item shops.
However I wouldn't pay over 15$ a month to play any mmorpg.
