After playing beta, how many are actually canceling their pre-orders?
I think the title pretty much says it all.
I'm just curious with all the talk of 300k sold. How many of these were because people wanted to try the beta and now that they did, how many of those 300k are canceling?
Yes, I'm one that canceled. For me it didn't bring much new to the table and actually felt like a lot of the f2p games I've tried. But that is what I feel, not bashing you if you like it. Just curious how many canceled their order?

I will not be picking up my preorder for the same reason, nothing new I cant live without. I wouldnt compare to to F2P though.
I have cancelled my pre-order. Nothing wrong with the game just dont like linear game and not a big PVP fan hate getting ganked by hight lvl players for no reason and no gain.
actually it was 400k sold :P
I didnt play the beta much, but I intend to keep my preorder. Not that the game is THAT good, I have only played up to level 10 on a few characters. But I am just bored as shit so ill play.

Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
Never pre-ordered, nor plan to play it again anytime soon...gonna give it 6mo or more and see how it does! I don't hate it, but it also does nothing new and feels like I've played it before! Also the forced PvP after lvl 40 is disappointing...
I thought to cancel after playing beta but again tell me another mmorpg i can play now? so will play since it's new game.
I'll be playing it on my pre-order. Not sure why so many are still faulting Aion for stuff they could never have experienced, oh well, to each their own I guess.

I can't wait for FFXIV actually but thats in a year so during that time I'll be an angel :P
Keeping mine because frankly theres nothing better out there. I mean if you want a good PVE game just play WoW or LOTRO. This fills the gap with a good pvp focused game.
I never pre ordered that game, NCsoft already got my money a month ago. (pre purchased)
I can’t wait till Sunday
March on! - Lets Invade Pekopon
I cancelled my Steam pre-order awhile ago, although NCsoft still show me as having a CE account.

^^^^ exactly what this guy said!
I guess you are right on the destinction there, mine isnt' a pre-order either - it's a pre-purchase a month ago. All four of them actually, payed for in full. (I pre-purchased for a couple friends that are moving to Aion with me.) Wouldn't cancel mine even if I had the option still.

I gave a couple of reasons on what I thought. So if you don't agree with me your trolling? Grow up. I said if you liked it great. I was just curious on how many are actually canceling.

Everyone on this site needs to relax. Half flame the game for it's being too similar to WoW and not similar enough to sandbox, and half defend the game to its death. If a game is bad, I admit it. This isn't the best game I can envision, but I certainly can see worse. I haven't played an MMO since WAR being part of the first month ragequit and before that WoW and GW.
Just giving up a game because of its earliest content is like if I gave up an FPS because I couldn't customize my character the way I wanted. In both cases, the parts of the game exposed to you have nothing to do with the juicy PvP content available. I am in love with territory control ever since playing BF2 and just want a decent MMO to finally be released.
And, if it is bad, I will be the first to put it down. Of course any fangirls and trolls/haters will have their usual kneejerk reaction of buy buy buy or sell sell sell.
Already cancelled.
Currently Playing: Toying around with AoC and bored with Darkfall
Thinking of Playing: Fallen Earth or Darkfall after this months update.
Have Played: EQ1, EQ2, WoW, WAR, Vanguard, EvE, Requiem, PW, Lotro, Lineage2, AoC, SWG...
Canceled mine becouse I couldn't get into it. Just seemed like the same old same old with much nicer pixels. However, wish it well as lots of my rl freinds love it and hope everybody who plays it has great time.
cancelled
I paid for 5 extra copies... 3 for my sisters kids (being as they are in college she might hate me) and 2 others for friends that just lost their jobs but I really like playing games with.
So count me in.. (re-reads the topic subject) oh ooops..
I'll tell you what I do love. The character creator. I've never seen so many beautiful avatars in a game. I really liked my look too so it disappoints me I won't be playing.

aion is probably one of the most well-rounded and complete mmorpgs ive played for a while. the core mechanics are pretty sound, classes are surprisingly well-balanced, crafting system isn't useless, lot of solo quests, group quests, dungeons, world boss monsters, beautiful environment and characters, flying, small group pvp, large scale pvp, aerial pvp, fortress pvp. I can keep on going on and on.
most importantly, ncsoft has been great to their customers as they actually listen to them and cater to their needs. trolls would try to put down ncsoft saying that they don't care about us because we arent as important as the koreans, but guess what- ncsoft just slammed it in their faces by keeping us up to date with the same version as koreans, removing gamegaurd, and giving the ability for SM pets to fly (SM gets love even though they account for less than 8% of players). personally i have dealt with ncsoft customer service from guild wars until now and they are quick, reliable, and helpful.
you guys are missing out on a great game that is backed by reliable company if you quit, just because you think you've seen it all in OB when in actuality you havent event touched maybe 5% of what aion has to offer.
Most memorable games: AoC(Tryanny PvP), RIFT, GW, GW2, Ragnarok Online, Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, Secret World, League of Legends (Silver II rank)

To be fair, the charactor creater is awsome. Same as fallout 3, spent ages getting my toon just right.
