I know that many of ppl who was playing here decided to move to AION so :
WHO WILL BE THERE IN 28 DAYS ?
p.S. I Will ^^
Aion is weak. The real deal will be GW2.
haha gw2 in 3+ years. :D
I'd say mid/end of next year, since they're going to announce classes end of this year, and then more information will about gameplay will come on first quarter of next year.
If it came in 3 years, then how would they tease the people? They wouldn't give out all the informations about the game 'till next year then.

I wont, cause i dont like aion that much tbh....
I will be there of course :D
i want try it, anybody know some place where can i test it ? :)
I would, if there would be a nice private server like DN used to be :P
(DN aint that bad now too, i just dont feel the same way about L2 anymore, NCsoft freaked it up too much i guess...)
aion? how much it costs/month?
At first i tought it looked neat, but the more trailers i watch the more it reminds me of WoW. So a no for me.
ps. Drake should really set his priority's. After all he earned too much to simply abandon his L2 roots.
im thinking of preordering it, but im afraid to pay, and then its just as freaking Guild Wars, looking at screenshits its way to similar, downloading client now to test it on some private servers, if i like it ill buy it if not L2 will be my friend for ever xD
Private servers will not show you at all what aion is really like. The EMU project is in it's infancy. It's just a pretty looking chat room at this point and will never really behave like aion. It's like l2j.
Anyone who wants to play open beta, i can send you a link to the instructions for making your chinese account and downloading the chinese client. I can also give you a .bat file i made for picking your region in english.
NA/EU open starts soon. If you're interested in that i can send you the english client downloader (300ish kb).
Anyone who says Aion is like WoW or GW, clearly has not played Aion.
To answer the question, i believe its like $15 a month. After it goes live and after your free time from pre purchasing.

A weird sentence to write on a private server's forum. Yet, a lot of people play on L2j server and L2off servers, even though it has nothing to do with retail L2 servers. The EMU project is indeed in its infancy, but as far as I see, they're doing well. (Considering they have most of the stat templates for npcs as well as classes, just a little bit more 'till they'll have the skills implanted)
In other hand, you can't deny, that the graphics are rather WoW-like.
i just test it on a private server, well not really tested it since u can only run around not fight or test skills, but u can emote all day :P , in my conclusion;
Mobs/Area = WoW look a like
Your Char = GW look alike
i can only say that, nothing about game play rly :/
another question to the chana guy, u gotta pay prepaid cards that count down ur secs how much u cna play? xD rofl!?

L2 off servers behave like retail (not including customizations). L2j servers are coded from scratch. If you've ever tried one, you know they're not at all close to real l2. Aion EMU is just like l2j except instead they're just starting. You might be able to make the chars fight, but the actual equasions of how stats interact with eachother are going to have to be approximated... it'll take years to even be worth playing on, let alone similar to real aion.

However, L2off servers are rather outdated. L2j servers are also quite playable nowadays. The only similarity between AionEmu and L2j is that, they're writing the server side from zero. Also if the approximated stats bother you, well, I bet I wouldn't even notice the differences - but maybe it's just me, who doesn't mind if you hit one or two damage less or more. About being worth to play on an Aion server: I'd say, for me example, it's far better solution to try the game on a private server, because I wouldn't bother to pay a monthly fee for a game, moreover I'm not that interested in Aion, just to see how it works.
PS.: The graphics are really similar to WoW, I mean at least the style is rather WoW-ish, unlike the other games of NCSoft. And you'd better bet, I tryed it on full graphical settings.

so i did play the game at max gfx and in my opinion the area(world) does look like WoW one!, yes it does look better but it is the similar style!!!, and the chars do look similar aswell just that u can do more customization do ur chars in AION,
maybe this helps u to the other part u seem not to understand, Mr. Smartass

Well that's your opinion, WoW doesn't even come to mind when i'm playing. Mr.
JackAssAs for the p2p. Only chinese open beta is p2p. That's how the chinese are, penny pinchers.
There are several sites like that. I use this site http://www.aionbank.com for buying more time for my chinese account. However NA/EU open beta is starting soon so i'll be abandoning my chinese account. NA/EU open beta is free.
Also when it does go live, NA/EU payments are monthly, asian servers are the only one's who charge by the hour for mmos.
We we cant say game is shit, since the invest milions in it , good coders/deisgners/etc.... but we forgot 2 things:
1) To play it you have to pay every month !
2) Saying game is "good" & "bad" is quite subjective thing.
My opinion , it is good but noghitn more then that , is not good enough for me to make me pay every month + to start again game from 0.

the fact is that i can sell account easy when i will get bored of it w/o any problem and get even more cash. so this thing about: ooo its p2p server, i dont have money etc... its for me just a bullshit. i will get money back anytime i will want. :D

You pay for everything in this world so the comment - WE HAVE TO PAY is :
1) a kiddish excuse for failed RL person
2) Failed in RL mature person (which is even more sad than 1)
And the fact that Aion totally smashed all the other mmo's on the marked even before going out.The fact that different MMO's player are joining it (WOW, Linege 2, Warhammer, LoTRO, AoC,GW are the games that came members of my Legion) is the PROOF that Aion is few light years ahead ;)
P.S. haters are part of this universe so we have to get used to them since they're may be the only thing that Money can't clear lol
THIS IS NOT AION DISCUSSION TOPIC BUT A TOPIC ABOUT WHO WILL JOIN,THE REST WHO WONT JOIN CAN SPARE US USELESS COMMENTS !
Believe it or not, whenever a new MMORPG comes out (especially when a big name), then some people from all other MMORPGs go to the new MMOs.
So you can't really judge the quality of a game by the people who play it.

Sadly DN isnt l2 but something which dont have name since l2 works good not like DN some bunch of bugs+incorect fixes called nerfs (remember that the coders from NCsoft didn't made the game to have ctacksub and mutants which is the main problem here since we use their files or at least base of their files)
Thats the only difference b/w cash and no cash :)

Ey Ilhan clam down, im just statein my opinion about aion game . L2 wont die because games are question of taste , if you like aion ok but that doesnt mean that everyone have to like it. And when you giving such a kiddo statement about i am crying to some1 for anything please be informed about it well, and in the end at least i am not the one who was trying to get any type of "power" on DN and failed in everything , and when you lost you chances in everything you became flame "pro" on forum .

Told you you're off-topic.
Make your own topic where you can discuss the future.
Here i want to know which of people here will play AION with me.
AION client has critical bug that causes crit error and disconnection in seige which is main feature of AION.
Worst thing is, you lose all the point you've got through a seige (hitting seige boss, destroying artifacts) after DC. xD
AION is still good mmorpg with critical bug from few years light ahead so let's wait few light years to be fixed. :D

But still lots of people that played the "real L2" decided to come to private servers and stayed there (also to DN) since they liked it better here than retail. L2 isn't meant to have stack sub yep, that's why nerfs and other fixes are needed.
And who says the "real L2" is better than private servers? Maybe for you, while lots of other people preffer playing L2 with some extra stuff that makes the game more interesting for them.

If Private server was so cool retail players all would be moving here but yet MILLIONS of players know the difference and still stays on retail and PAY.
Private servers are like baying seconds hand Car - you buy it since you can't afford brand new one ;)

Better -25 % of value and working fine than baying a pre-repaired junk which will make you more and more problems everyday after you buy it.
e.g. you buy 2nd hand car for 10 000 euros than you go to car service and they tell you that the car have some problems which will cost you like 5 000 euros.
same for DN you create a char in private servers and than GMs announce that your char will be nerfed and you will lost time and money for creating it and creating a new non-nerfed char.

I would rather say that DN is like bad 2nd hand Tuned BMW.
Having a brand new BWM will still make you less problems in future aspect than having a tuned BMW which you have to keep on tuning to not let you on the road ;)
