Never said this "vision" will appear tomorrow but don't tell me they are some cheap assed company, they are trying their best to make the game more satisfying. (Although I would prefer if they would hire someone to do them some anti bot/spam program)
I am sorry to crush your dream about NCSoft being a rolemodel company. They aren't.
Just like an Asian version of EA and they only care about profit and find all kinds of sleazy ways to make even more. Even by releasing a fancy trailer showing people awesome stuff that might never end up in the game anyway. But heck. if it lures in more suckers in buying their game. Woopie ti Doo. They do.
They don't care about making their games more satisifying, unless it costs minimum effort and resources. They never did with their Lineage games. They never did with CoX (hasn't seen an expansion in years and the announced going rogue expansion went mysterious ways as no information has been released for months). And they ruthlessly axed Tabula Rasa without remorse, while that game still had plenty of potential and quite a number of people playing.
So please.
Tabula Rasa was pretty much dead, which is ONE of the reasons they cut it. Another reason they cut it was because they got rid of Garriot and he had the rights to the game pretty much. The fact that you even think that their are some gaming companies that aren't out for the money pretty much makes your whole statement not even noteworthy.
No matter which way you look at it, every gaming company is in it for the money. If you want to sugar coat whatever company that you seem to like, that's your prerogative. NcSoft has never posted something and actually not followed through with it. Some features might not be there right off the bat, but majority of companies that say they are adding certain things have this problem too.
Aion might not be your cup or tea. Heck, I guess you have some vendetta against NcSoft. That doesn't mean it's a horrible company/game. I guess your just scarred from the fact they got rid of TR.

*laughs* I would have to say your "so please" back at you. Tell me what magical company from your own version of Neverland loves and cares about the consumer oh so much? I bet you can count them on one hand. Don't give me Blizzard who finds as many ways to get money out of the consumer pocket as possible. SoE? Nope. Most of them only care about profit. After all they are a business and their employees do have to eat. You may find Indie companies that are geared toward what you are stating but there is a reason they struggle to succeed.
I have already quit Aion but I have to admit your constant trolling and bashing of the game/company has gotten old and tiresome. You don't like it nor NCSoft. I think many folks already got that point a month ago. Move on to whatever floats your boat. No need for your constant hate posts because your point has already been established so at this point it seems like you post just to see your own little words in black and white. I didn't care for the game neither but do I go posting hate about it? Course not. Not every game fits every person. Common sense tells me that so what would be the point?
I'm rather surprised there wasn't really any Abyss Video.
It seems like they're focusing more on adding PvE content. I'm pretty sure the giant rock guy at the end is a siege golum of sorts (like Lineage IIs), because it appears as though he was summoned... but they weren't in the abyss... So maybe there will be rift sieges?
I personally feel that the abyss is too small. It's good for making sure you run into the other faction, but I think an additional level is called for. There should also be a reward / penalty system for hunting outside of your abyss tier. Like if you hunt and kill above your tier you get a point bonus, and if you kill below your tier you get a major point reduction.
There was abyss in the video.
Korean sites state that the ground abyss, which was rumored for the 1.2 patch back then, is seen in the video, that zone with a fortress and drakes firing up shit is a new layer for the abyss.
Afaik, this layer is only accessible through random rifts, and it is a high level area with party content.
Then they also show the golems, which are right outside of Pandemonium, where the new housing area is meant to be, so yeah, it seems there will be sieges to the capital cities surroundings.
A Korean dev said the stuff in the video is about 85% complete and is working on the dev server. Now, how that translates to actually being released, I do not know but they seem to be a lot closer than many of us think.
I imagine this content will come in stages; a patch here, a patch there and then a large patch to finish it off but this is just speculation on my part. There is a good chance a chunk of it will be in a paid expansion as well but who knows?

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you? So NCSoft is just going to release this video with no intention of actually implementing it into the game? Really? And you say CoX never had any expansions, that's a joke. I've been playing the game for 4 years and CoX had many expansions added to the game. Oh yea I forgot, if it's not a paid expansion it doesn't count. No Going Rogue information was announced? Right, just last month a lot of information was revealed about the boxed expansion, but I guess you missed that. And there's more to come later.
Just because you don't like NCSoft for whatever reason doesn't make them a terrible company. Are they the best? Of course not, far from it. is Aion the best MMO? Of course not, far from it. But there's no indication that they're not going to implement any of these features and it's laughable that you think that. It may be a little ways off, but I'm sure it's coming eventually.

Never in NCSoft's company history have they ever had a paid expansion to their games..except for GW, all their MMO's have free expansions and will continue to be free. Hell even Ayase has said that the company will not go to paid expansion ever.

Everyone has opinions, but does that make them the universal truth??? NO!
