Anyone else playing Aion? I just started on the week-end. It's my first pay-to-play MMO and so far I'm loving it. I could never get past the aesthetic of WoW and other MMOs, but this game looks great, and I love the character customization. I don't have a lot of gaming time (4 kids does that, apparently), so I don't expect to level up too fast, but I'm having fun with it so far.

How is the game?

All I've read of it are the complaints about the horrible queues to get into the servers.

Is it fun? Kinda grindy-ish in the Korean style?

I also read about how people had to fight over quest drops (ugh). If that's true, it definitely sounds like something I would avoid.

Fighting over 'quest drops' is not true at all.

Whoever does the most damage to the mob, gets the loot. Simple as that.

No queues at all now. There used to be horrendous queues of 9+ hrs, but now, none at all.

If I had any inclination what 'grindy-ish in the Korean Style' meant, I could answer either way raspberry

Maybe some pics would help?

I read about the queue times, but it hasn't been a problem for me. I even joined a high volume server to play with friends, and once I had to wait 3 min to get in, any other time was fine. I think it was just a launch issue.

Is there a like a 14 day trial available yet? I really want to try it (I ended up missing the beta! I had it downloaded and everything!). I'm not sure I should get into another MMO right now....I have toons in WoW, Guild Wars, LOTR, WAR, Conan that I should play. But this looks so good!!!! I almost can't resist.

There's no trial yet, hopefully soon! I played a bit in the beta, only made it to level 7 but it was fun. I played Guild Wars (maybe I know some of you from when Sinnix and I ran Crossing Tyria?) and that's about it for MMOs for me. Something about Aion just grabbed me though... the good graphics definitely help! Haven't had much of a chance to group up with anyone, but if you want to add me to your friends list I'm playing Zylaar in Tirinel.

My main is an Ely Cleric called Cherish on Gorgos. I also have an Asmo Chanter called Cher on Perento. I usually play in the mornings or afternoons, despite them having fixed the long queues. Loving the game so far. I did try out Age of Conan and Warhammer when they came out, but didn't make it past the first month. I think I'll be sticking with this one ^_^

I decided to remake a char on Gorgos so I could join Cherish... trying an assasin!

I am usually a spellcaster + pet (Spiritmaster) but I will see how I get on with this one.

Okay I am sorry about this but someone will have to explain what Aion is. I know it's a game, but is it online ?

Yes, it's the new MMO from NCSoft. It runs on a heavily modified Crysis engine and looks great, and is really fun!

Hey everybody! I know the thread is a bit old, but I'm new here and wanted to see if anybody was still playing? I've been playing since the betas and I love the game. Not the same as FFXI, but change isn't necessarily bad, lol. If anybody is playing... I'm Svetlanya (an asmodian) on the Zikel server.

Anyway, hope everybody is having a great day! smile
