I'm guessing people would just stay logged on to avoid having to wait to log back in. >.>

Oh the graphics look great there. Hopefully they get smart to add more servers if they put very few. Waiting in queue sucks.

Yes, people are setting up shops that don't get kicked for being idle with items that won't sell.

BTW, that queue started at 3h 56minutes...

that's 4 hours to troll random forums ;)

I hate when games have shops you set up. Silkroad online has that and the lag is so bad there because of all the players just having vending shops there for hours. 13 servers isn't enough, looking at the stats on the site it looks ridiculous with just that many servers.

worst thing is, this is just the headstart. Tomorrow the game will open up to people who didn't preorder.
The developpers announced they will add 1 server to the NA and EU community each... one whole server...

It's like WoW 2 basically, except they added wings and a decent PvP system.

Well from some things in the game how some say a mix of wow or other games etc. I think it has a little bit of differences but many bugs from what I'm reading atm.

When you die, you can either get resurrected by a player, home point to where your last saved point was and you lose a small amount of experience points with slowed movement and reduced attributes.

The way you move your character while in combat will affect your damage output as well as your defense.

A few things I do like so far from what little they have but I will still wait til more servers and bugs are fixed.

Gameplay wise it's a wow like MMO. Lot of instanced areas (hell the whole server is instanced with "channels"). Fast gameplay that require the player to spam the same macros combination often, lot of kill tasks and fedex quests (talk to NPC A, see NPC B, deliver item X to NPC C, get instant reward)...

I'm having fun with Aion so far, so I'll give my thoughts.

The battle system has more "impact" than most mmo's. Kinda tough to explain what I mean exactly, but in most mmo's when you hit something it doesn't matter how cool your weapon looks, when you hit something with it, it's like swinging a wet towel..there's no "oomph" to it. Aion does a pretty good job with making you feel the impact of attacks..not quite as much as FFXI or Age of Conan, but alot better than WoW or Warhammer.

The class system seems pretty cool so far, you pick one of 4 base classes(and one of two races), and at level 10 you choose a specialization. I picked the Priest class, and then upgraded to Chanter, which plays kinda like Red Mage so far: focusing on buffing, with some healing, and some melee ability.

The graphics are beautiful, of course. My pc can't run it very well at the highest settings, but even at mid-level settings it looks better than any mmo I've played. The music is really nice as well, and fits the settings well.

Finally, from a strictly gameplay point of view(so I'm not mentioning the queue thing), the only thing I don't really like is the chat system, which is like WoW's. You can filter out channels you don't want to see, but it just seems like a needlessly complex set-up to me. Too much random info being thrown at you all the time.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents so far. It seems like it's fashionable for hardcore players of existing mmo's to bash any big new one that comes around, so I'm trying to give an honest opinion for people who are actually curious about it.

It's more like hardcore players got enough experience playing MMOs so they can recognize if a game bring something new and really awesome, unlike the average consumer who played at best 2 to 3 MMOs in his life.

I dunno how many MMOs did you play before trying Aion (by play I mean 3 months+ at least, make that 6 months if you don't play often), but the only fact that you consider the class system "pretty cool" probably means that you didn't play many games. The Aion class system is just a rip off of what we've seen in last decade. Same goes with the interface, same goes with the fighting style, same goes with the quest system, same goes with the material gathering, same goes with... everything ?

Aion doesn't bring anything new, and that's the main problem. I ain't paying 50 euros to experience something old. Cause gameplay wise that's what Aion is : old.

I'd like to know how I was able to handle the game correctly after like 1 minute of gameplay ? Make my macro, starts bashing mobs, reach lv2. How fast you reach lv2 is already a good indicator on how innovating a MMO gameplay is. Didn't take me 1 minute when I started T4C, DAoC, FF XI, PSO, PSU, RO, L2 etc. I had to figure how things were working before starting the brainless monster bashing.

I won't congratulate Aion on its nice graphics also since NCsoft just used CryENGINE 1, it's not like they tried to innovate, they just took what's already existed, added wings to it, lot of marketing => success.

The only pro of Aion for me are the customization possibilities, but Oblivion was just as great. As for the PvP, it will never be as good as DAoC RvR, only two factions = fail.

I'm going to assume you only read the last sentence of my post, because I specifically named 4 other mmo's I've played, and if you must know, I've also put alot of time into EQ(PC and PS2), PSO, and DAoC over the years. I have no intention of getting into some ridiculous forum fight with you, I was only trying to give my early opinion of Aion, based on a few days of playing.

It's not because you quoted couple of MMOs that it mean you played these a lot, not like I can read your mind and know what game did you play for an extended period of time.
It's not because you like something that it makes you an "honest" reviewer while others are just "hardcore players who likes to bash new big MMO" and liars (well if you claim giving us an honest opinion so you suppose that others ain't).

I don't even understand how can you find the Aion class system "cool" since you played DAoC seriously, it's exactly the same ? How cool is that ? Base class > level 10 > advanced class. Oh wait it was level 5 on DAoC, huge difference :<

MMO shouldn't be like sports games add couple of feature, upgrade the graphic engine, change the box art and re-release it... Would be nice to have some originality.

Didn't take them a day.. they're already sending tells like the FFXI's RMT tells back at their high point. They're even using the mail system (Think delivery box + POL messages) already.
