Hey Wegamers!
I'm bored of WoW, and all of my friends are quitting. I have decided to start playing a new MMORPG with my friends. I thought Aion looked nice and all, but i just wanna know: Have any1 out there tried Aion, what did you think of it? I have seen alot of negative and positive comments on the game, its very mixed. I'm not looking for some1 writing "Omg Aion sucks" i'm looking for people telling me what is good and what is bad.

Thank you =)

*Shrug, what you are going to find in Aion is almost purely grindbased (alot of quests tough, but they consist of just mindless killing most of time) MMORPG with shiny Cryengine graphics. Nothing new, I mean, nothing expect cool cutscenes.

It drowns in it's mediocrity.

And oh, it takes ten times more "effort" to get items. Why is that feature valued in some circles I have no idea of. Like, spending 8 hours playing some MMO for better gear and stuff doesn't make ANY sense to me.

Sounds negative, i have heard that its grind-based before, but i have also heard that its not at all, and those who says that havnt understood the game... Thats what making me confused. I wish there was a trial

It's korean.
What do you expect?
The best koran mmo experience is Ragnarok Online. No other kmmo has come close to Ragnarok.

Well, Korean mmos do tend to be grinwhores most of the time, but what sets Aion apart is it's very good production values.

As a recomandation tho, i would say you and your friends should try Chronicles of Spellborn. It's rather recent and it has a trial

...And justice for all !

Thank you gaB0SS i'll take a look at that, but i havnt tossed Aion fully in the trash can yet, if you know what i mean, i think its unfair to judge a game before i have tried it =)
