I played @ PAX as well. I also got in on the free play and found it enjoyable. Tbh, Aion is just going to be an MMO to hold my interest until the Rapture comes out but I think I'll have fun in the interim.
Here are a few numbers to keep in mind:
Lineage II
Korean Open Beta - July 1 '03
Korean Release - Oct. 1 '03
US Open Beta - Mar. 28 '04
US Release - April 27 '04
My guess is Aion will come out Jan '09 in Korea and March '09 in US. Then again,…
I got a chance to sit down with 5 different devs and ask some questions for Aionsource and my legion and in-game housing was one of them and idk where you got your info people, but in-game housing won't be in launch and there are no plans for in-gam…
Actually, I think quite the opposite. I have played as an Assassin and a Chanter and both swung pretty fast. Infact, I've heard the exact opposite argument made that people are affraid this game will be a button masher since the timers are so fast…
I got about 3 hours total @ PAX. I'll write a littel report of my own tomorrow. Just wondering what Aion goodies you walked away with? I got 4 shirts, 1 hat, 8 buttons, 2 bracelets, two signed pictures of the female models @ GC '08, a big Aion ba…

From that G4 MMORPG report Aion special, the devs said that the game could probably be released right now, but they want to make sure they release a very polished game. They seem to be learning from other games' mistakes, thank goodness ^_^
I am happy to hear that end-game won't be held exclusively in the Abyss. I was kind of thinking that I would be spending pretty much everyday in the Abyss once I hit max level, that was kind of disheartening. One of the main reasons why I chose El…
From what I've read, Aion could be released tomorrow if need be, but NCsoft is pushing to truly release a polished game, not a 1/2 completed one which requires 50 patches every week. Also, the very loose NDA which NCsoft has in place with Aion is a…
Well, tbh I actually enjoy games with long grinds. It means that most people you see with a maxed class usually know what they are doing because it took them so long to reach that level. Obviously, there are always going to be ppl who, no matter h…
Well I think Aion is the closest MMO to looking like that video. It isn't going to be EXACTLY like that of coarse, I don't think that it what the topic implies. I'm also not understanding the hate from this thread. I am personally relieved that t…

Lol testing only in Korea, because they know it's a crappy grinder, and Koreans eat that garbage up. If they tested in NA or EU they'd have to deal with angry people asking why the game is such a grind.
We…
I think it is probably hard to create a game where people are recongnized by their appearance rather than the name above their character. I've played some games that have had character creation that gives people the option of looking different from…
Well it is my understanding that there wasn't much content 35+ in CBT3 because NCsoft didn't want to reveal much mor ethen they did and still wanted to give CBTers something to look foward to come release. Anyways, regardless of what I hear, I will…
And how exacty do you know, "There is a lot of beta still needed" No, I haven't played either but just the fact that NCsoft is done with beta, kinda leads me to believe, they don't need beta anymore.... idk just a wild guess >.>
Oh yeah, I've seen that. It isn't confirmed that this video is related to the new MMO though right? Even still, everytime I see it, it brings me back to the good ole' days. I will like AIon im sure, but no game will stop me from playing the new S…
Aion is no longer in need of a CBT, am I the only one that sees this as a step forward? If they don't need anymore CBT, do you really expect them to halt development to stay in the CBT phase? I, for one, am glad they don't.

Back in the days of the PE version, there was a great deal of debate going on. Everyone felt it was reasonable to demand, demand, demand. Even if the production team hinted at anything,…
