Wow... the mmorpg genre has indeed been standing still for far too long...
Not that it's wrong business-wise, considering the number of players who are willing to fork out the money for the same shit over and over again every single time.

i doubt their engine can even handle this today with a few cpu/gpu generations in between ^^ funcom may prov…

Wow. I'm just surprised this game is almost a year old and yet this review would have remained mostly the same, if it was written within a month of the game's release.
I have to agree, and will go even further …
I have to say that Aion is the only post-WoW MMO that I've kinda missed after quitting, thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
Am planning on resubbing with a friend in the next couple of days and roll new chars to experience all the new stuff, anyone …
The main problem is that most of the good and wealthy companies will rarely deviate from making a traditional MMO because it's much more risky and there's a decent chance it will fail hard and ruin their reputation (not to mention drain their resour…

I'm not playing any MMOs atm (busy with sc2 ), but as soon as I feel like playing one again it's going to be Aion for sure.
It's one of the games you actually 'miss', and that doesn't happen too often. I mean as far as MMOs go it's one of the few …

Does it still take forever to kill a normal mob ?
It has never taken ages to kill a normal mob, it just seems to take really long at the beginning because your gear is sub-par, you don't have any experience playing your class, you have very few ab…
Glads used to be the gold farmers best class choice, so they are doubtlessly good! xD
The issue with glads is that they are relatively weak early on, but the higher his level the better he gets, and is one of the most gear dependent classes. You w…
Obviously you're both talking about solo grinding. Downtime is dependent on the class you play, as some classes solo better than others. Having said that, most classes are good enough and require barely any downtime at later levels. What class do yo…
Lets compare the armor coolness transition from early -> mid -> end game:
WoW: Shitty -> Good -> Great!
Aion: Good -> Great -> Awesome!
Of course you can use any type of skin for your high-end gear/weapon later on, but that's…
Thanks, was a nice interview, really fun to read!
I especially liked the talk about new engaging PvE content as it was just "meh" pre-2.0 imo. Haven't done much in Balaurea yet, but definitely looking forward to it after a few months break from t…
Well they call it "free expansion". Even though you can actually buy it with the original game and get some fluff items/pets with it, you don't need to. You can download it, but it will take a while to update 'cause you have to download a few gigs w…
Grindfest at lvl25? It's really funny how opinionated the term "grind" is, every single person has his/her own definition! Anyway for what it's worth, here's an interview from yesterday, I pasted the most relevant info concerning this infamous "grin…
