Seriously though, other than the rubber banding, the only problem with launch is too many people trying to get in so there are queues. Whats that say about the game, when the biggest complaint is it is too popular?

For those who have been playing it as well, how do you like it so far?

had it pre-ordered. played the beta a few times. decided i'd wait to see how the end-game is before i dive in entirely. then heard about the almost instant system melt-down and wait period to make chars. glad i decided to wait.

I'm interested to see the views for this game, some have played the beta and liked it. I'm just waiting a bit to see the reviews before I buy it.

Mai and her brother both pre-ordered it. Unfortunately, I just keep hearing about the Flight thing and how pretty the graphics are.

I don't have room in the budget to buy it, but the more I hear, the less I want to play.

They finally updated their website and took away all the secrecy from it and it sounds interesting. It looks like a mix of EQ and WoW, which isn't really a bad thing. I'll wait till all the hype has died down and it's been out for awhile though.

After playing XI for a while I'll be tough to play something else without a controller, and things like mog houses and being able to switch jobs.

I guess the hard thing about FFXI is quitting, really.

The highest lvl I attained was 17. Had a 17 Templar and like... 12 Assassin or something in the open and closed betas, but it's a nice relaxing game so far. Like someone said earlier, it's a very pretty game... chat system is kinda crap, but the customization options are new and fun. It's worth checking out, but I haven't played enough to really give more of an opinion that that. :)

Also, after playing FFXI for a million years, some of my friends and I agreed... Aion seems to be a game you can pick up for a few hours, get stuff done and log off to get on with RL... whereas we didn't really feel like that with FFXI.

People who are into the PvP stuff seem to be happy as well... I never got into it other than random duels and whatnot as I wasn't high enough lvl to get to the abyss, but seemed fun :P

Word™


Quitting FFXI isn't hard if you have actual interests outside of playing video games and if you still have friends outside of FFXI. I've only been out of the game for a month, but I've naturally transitioned to spending more time on my other hobbies and spending more time with family and friends (and a little extra time at work >.<;). I'm not going to lie though; I do miss my character and Vana'diel. On the other hand, I also quit smoking four months ago and still miss that as well.

Since I've been gone from FFXI, I messed around with a WoW trial, and yeah, it's a colossal difference from FFXI. In the time it took me to check my plants, check the AH on my Jeuno mule, change jobs on my main, and either flag up or head to an event, I could've already accomplished something in WoW. This doesn't even account for all the damned time I lost standing around waiting for inconsiderate people to finally show up for FFXI events. If, on the scale of time-wasters, Aion tilts more towards WoW than FFXI (I can log in, accomplish something, and be out within an hour), I'd be tempted to purchase it and give it a shot. I have two friends bugging me to try it anyways. >.>;

Not to derail, but really I think it's only hard because people don't initially know how to fill-up all the free hours they now have everyday. lol Once I distracted myself completely (hi2uFFXIAH forums) and was still able to talk to my friends it felt pretty easy.

Accomplish something tasteless tho. I don't call killtask or "Fedex quest" an accomplishment. Would be like saying FoV = accomplishment in FF XI...

Aion to me looks like another non-free rip off of Perfect World which is a free rip off of WoW with flight abilities and more character customization. That being said, I'm not paying $50 for crap when i can pay just as much for FF14 when it comes out and it actually be good.

14 is gonna be crap. its gonna be funny seeing thousands of ppl coming back to 11 when 14 fails so hardcore.

well, I haven't been spending much time in FFXI lately. With the new buzz of 14 around the corner. However, I did spend some time in Aion and i'll give me total opinion of it.

It's really pretty, but lets be honest here for a second. As someone stated earlier... Short of better graphics, it's a 100% complete rip off of perfect world. You can even fly in perfect world, customize your char, all the bells and whistles that comes with a $50 game... for FREE. literally. There are 0 fees involved with PWI, other than from the botique where you can buy inventory stones etc. like gobbie bags. But again, lets face it. 99% of all games are headed for, or have already gone to this model. So really, there is nothing new under the sun there..

As far as 14 goes, i'll wait for it to come out, and then see how other people review it. to me, games like that can be either 1 of 2 things. Completely Awesomesawce!, or... A complete pile of ***that's been painted gold (which is still ***btw...)

To all the people that play/have tried Aion. I offer you to try out PWI for just a week or so. See which you like better. If you can sacrifice just a LITTLE graphic quality, I think you'll enjoy PWI much better and all the while... save money. (For the record, PWI with full graphics on, is BEAUTIFUL, not AS beautiful as Aion, but it's DAMN CLOSE)

that's my thoughts on the matter.

It could, but on the other hand, It could be amazing. You don't know, and you won't know til you play it. And this is what Free Trials are for. Only a complete and utter moron will try and predict what is going to be 'good' or 'bad' in a field as subjective as any art. That said, I certainly won't cancel my character in FFXI until at least 6months of solid 14 play.

As For Aion, the whole Angel theme is gayer than a 3 dollar bill, I spend my days laughing at religious idiots who apparently have "ALL TEH ANSWERS" so that is a pre-determined bias on my part. We should all just give up and acknowledge "Hello Kitty: Island Adventure" as the greatest MMO that has and WILL EVER come out.

^ Listen to this man.

I'll probably keep both accounts active until I see what the definitive end game is like in XIV and have finished what I feel is the bulk of the content I want to finish with XI.

Dammit butters stop making that face. BUT MOM THIS IS MY REGULAR FACE!" god bless butters.

Lolzicdeh is right, the angel theme crap looks pretty gay. i didnt like anything else the dev team for aion has created. it does look really good but im more for substance in a game not just looks.

It's to early to judge 14 when 13 isn't even out yet.

Back on topic though, If AION comes up with a free trial later on I'll probably give it a try. $50 is a lot for something I might not like.
