aion is much better now as compare to launch, leveling wise. yap, I wouldn't come back without a pve server if its goes f2p, will have tons of griefers around, u can call me care bear
Agree totally.personally i dont get the bit where they cant seperate the pvp guys from the pve...most mmo's have pve and pvp..would be nice to have the option . i do get its meant to be pvp based game...but on the basis of the pvp alone its been a dismal failure.thing is , that they never seem to listen to the player base..and look where its got them.i know peeps want pve servers,there have been many posts about it..i have made a few myself.they have had 2 yrs to sort the pvp mess out and its not worked..even if it goes f2p its not guaranteed to work ,mainly because it will be back to the same routine of gankin lowbies unless you are on the rookie server,in which at lvl 46 you got to pvp instantly.which is kind of strange because the majority of the game you have spent playing pve.
Well, you know I agree 100% with you on the PvE (with PvP in Abyss/instances) server thing, I think that would be massive in getting this game a whole load of players, but y'know...
It's extremely hard to miss out on a fresh server of this game that has all the content and adjustments we have seen added to the game since launch, all in from day 1.
I was waiting for this to happen... I played aion on release and it didn't keep me interested for more than a month, I'm surprised the game survived so long.

Are there any pure subscription games left after this?

don't know about you guys, if that was true I would leave, but since that is a fake site, i'm not worried, at least its not the NA/EU server, and gameforge? don't even know what they are doing there.... guess only way for me to play serious a MMO again will be GW2
edit: I just checked, aion eu server will be F2P, since ncsoft will trnafer servers to the gameforge care, NA is still safe for the time being at least..... I swear if NA server go to F2P I will play FF14 or Swtor
I would change some of the world a bit and the npcs in it, some were so so childish that it made me feel like I was watching sesime street or something but other then that It was great. Also the world terrain, I think some parts of it were not designed well.
Sounds like good news to me, Except the fact that its going to go P2W. I hit level 48 before the grind really started. After that I felt like it was a never ending grind and i cancelled my sub. With it going F2P I will most definitley be downloading and keeping it on my computer. It's a great game to pop in and out of.

The issue I have with subbed games going f2p is they end up costing more to play than when they was a sub model, and end up being a P2W model.
That is certainly NOT backed by data. Research posted before (i am too lazy to dig them up again, you can search the post) shows that a MAJORITY of MMO players do not pay.
Thus, it only end up cost more for a MINORITY of people. And if you want to subsidize my gaming, i see no reason to object.
I spend around $2000 hard cash on Aion - so addictive - but it cost that much to create a top PvP assassin.
If it is F2P they better have 100% success for manastone socketing for gold members...
It's a monthly sub game, how did you manage to drop that kind of cash?
Aw, don't tell me you've been visiting those naughty websites again?
Well someone has to support those chinese kids that grind resources all day.
and the funny part too is normally they are the peeps who is easy to kill, and keep yelling zerg zerg, and if for some reason killed someone 5 less lvls then he and use all blues yells bad
it looks like only the EU servers, when i clicked it directed me to the american site with no mention of going f2p.
if it does go f2p and uses the same f2p model that l2 uses it will do great. besides ddo/lotro, l2's f2p model is the best out there IMHO.

Oh hooray! Yet another game that couldn't cut the mustard going free to play to leech life out of better games, instead of just dying with its dignity intact.

I know Aion, but don't know GameForge. Hope they do not allow hordes of rmt and hackin kiddies running free in it. More easy is create a new account after getting banned, more difficult will be get rid of them.

I might go back to it. It's pretty decent game for free.

Maybe he is just really keen on the Wonder Girls...?
If this happens for U.S. servers then that's pretty intriguing to me.

When L2 went, Aion was sure to go.

I vote +1 to aion, I love the game.

This is great news. One more game I can play a little for free. It probably will never be my main game so going free is great.

In your dreams.
100 % success for manastone socketing will be in cash shop and will cost heavy bucks.
Get your CC ready, you will spend ALOT of money in cash shop.
So bon voyage both heavy cash shop spenders, subscriberrs and free meat...erm players for those first two categories.
I won't get into this game ever again.

I guess once this game goes F2P it will be the best F2P in the market that everyone should play.
Pretty soon it will be WoW and SWTOR all alone in the P2P arena.
Looks like this is just for the EU, correct me if I'm wrong.
I love sarcasm.
I know Aion, but don't know GameForge. Hope they do not allow hordes of rmt and hackin kiddies running free in it. More easy is create a new account after getting banned, more difficult will be get rid of them.
Cheers^^
Just wondering why the NA is not also going FTP.
Otherwise I think its good thing for the game.
you fricken hater, haha...
