    But, But, But this game was so awesome and was the WoW killer.  Now they cant even get subscriptions so have to give it away.

    Sounds good, and I did enjoy Aion... but I'm thinking it's going to be too little too late.

    They say that about all games released last few years lol. TOR was to be a WOW killer also, didnt quite get there.

    Problem is all the games feel, look, play, and experience the same way now because they are trying to copy WOW. Once a game like Archeage for example comes out, its new to many (not old timers), has tons more features, has every aspect of real life in a mmo., and so much more................it might change the market.

    Theres going to be alot of people saying how they will not play this, but I assure you.. After seeing what happened to the Lineage 2 servers when they went F2P, people will be there and it will be packed..

    Not sure what this means for TERA, since the games are graphically similar.. Guess it just comes down to how the player prefers to fight..




     

     

    Personally, I'm interested in TERA for the combat style and the political system.  The art styles are very similar, but doesn't have any bearing on my interest.

    Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.

    Despite its faults, Aion is the one game I always come back to. It has always been a solid game and 3.0 will bring a lot of great changes. New dungeons, fortress, mounts and player housing to name a few.

    Interesting news indeed. If it wasn't for people running around looking like Bozo the Clown using lolllipops for weapons with all the retarded unimmersive costumes they added, I might have actually gave Aion another go. The game itself I enjoyed, and despite it having amazing graphics. The costume options as well as things like mumus running around killed this game for me

    there isnt IP-block on gameforge servers right?

    makes sense that USA aion is going f2p too.

    Scratches head..

    Am I correct in saying it's ftp but with a lvl 40 limit ?

    And returning players (probably with lvl 55 characters) get ftp just for 2 weeks?

    Ah, I went to the Aion site.

    But as i'm in England I went to the EU (UK) site - and ran into a NCfail hate storm on the forums about the EU getting shafted again.

    Seems to be that this is only US at the moment, although I can't seeing it staying that way, as EU players will just switch to the US servers.

    Considering that GW2 is coming out from the same parent company, doesn't it make more sense that NCsoft is converting all their games into the GW2 model?

    Thats european model.

    The NCSOFT version Aion "Truly Free" will be in every way similar to their L2 "Trully Free" :)

     

    No limitations at all.

    if it is like what they did with L2, it'll be great.

     

    it's at least in the ballpark of the turbine systems regarding f2p systems if not even better.

    I dont think you could be more clueless if you tried.

  • nhatnhat Member UncommonPosts: 166

    So basically this is Buy To Play now since the free trial only goes to 40? Hey I'm down with that!

  • OzmodanOzmodan Member EpicPosts: 9,726

    They burnt their bridge with me, with probably the worst customer support I have experienced in any game.  Even free won't get me to try it again.

    And it is not even close to Turbine's design.  How you could even imagine that is beyond me.

    I'll be there to check it out when it goes Truly Free. Can't say I'm a fan of the ridiculous costumes and weapon skins though. Oh well at least they know when they're beaten.

    The 40 limit is only for the event before it goes F2P officially.

    Coolest Game ever!   Nothing else out there holds my attention like this one.   They all fail misserably next to this one.  Thank you Korea.
