Does time equate to difficulty? If so, then how does a brand new p…
World of Warcraft actually did the exact opposite and injected so much money into this industry that we are able to see games like Guild Wars 2, Wildstar, Firefall, Archeage, TERA, Elder Scrolls, SWTOR and all the other games come to production. Wo…
Blizzard has about 200+ developers working on WoW and multiple teams structured that focus on WoD and other expansions. They closed Titan and all other projects back when Blizzard was performing layoffs to focus on WoW and the other teams are alread…

Do you honestly think people who are groomed by the LFD, quest trackers, and GPS tools will tolerate a new modern triple A MMORPG without ma…
Working in the games industry, I've noticed that people who PVP or PK don't spend as much money on free-2-play games as people who enjoy PVE. As a result, you will see more complaints and critical feedback from PVE'rs. PVE / casual PVPers will go o…

Thanks for the response. All of you guys had some interesting points. I've been burned too many times in the past that the "next epic game" will be the best which is why I was initially reserved about getting this game. I've heard so many great thin…
If you like, play Aion with me and my real life friends. We're on Isphrael server and based in California. We're fun and chill to play with. We're also in a guild and I'm sure everyone will assist you. If you're interested, PM me. Aion has all the f…
Hey OP, I felt the same way you did and decided to play Aion again. It's a mix of old and new features and there are some issues with the game, but overall, it's still similar to the old days of MMO (pvp, dungeons, castle sieges). If you wanna play …
