The game is terrible from installing to playing. The games home page has a bunch of misspelled words and many typos. Is it seriously that hard to use spell check?. The forums on the games website is full of HUNDREDS of problems existing inside the game, very glitchy. I discovered too many to list them all here, but most of the problems are also mentioned in the forums at the website for the game. I wouldn’t even buy this game for someone I disliked to be mean to them. honestly, stick with World of Warcraft, just do NOT buy this piece of trash game, it is a WASTE of money. I’ll tell you what, if you want to buy this game, just send me $[...] instead, at least someone will be happy you wasted your money.

Way complete MMORPG, graphics are off the chart and very fun in my personal opinion.

I purchased the steelbook edition. I was very disappointed that there were no in-game extras included. Just the game in a “steelbook”. For anyone without the newest computers, beware! This game requires much more from your computer. I am an avid WOW player and have no difficulty playing on my computers. Aion lags horribly. I will not be continuing my monthly on-line subscription.

This game has amazing graphics. It’s a well thought out MMO system with the usual leveling system. It is in the genre of “High Fantasy” so don’t expect a lot of humor but it does have it’s funny moments. It has the “Broker House” (Auction House), warehouse (bank) with wonderful cities to explore. It has the solo till lvl 18 then learn to group built in. There really doesn’t seem to be much difference from the two sides you can pick. From the low level 1-20 they seem to have the same exact quests with maybe a name or two changed but still entertaining where I’m looking forward to rushing home from work and playing it even after doing the Beta for 3 months.

My wife had gotten bored of Age of Conan because it had become almost like another job. To lighten things up I picked her up a copy of Aion after hearing all the buzz about it. She seems to have enjoyed the game quite a bit and so I tried my hand making a scout and exploring the world. Thats when I remembered, she loves to grind!
Let me start off with the pros, this game is the second most beautiful game Ive seen, first being Age of Conan, say what you will i love that game! Aion is also the most fluid and stable game Ive ever played, beating out WoW War AoC and Champions by a smidgen. Combat so far is quite simple for melee, I dont play casters, and easy to get into. For those who like a learning curve theres not a whole lot of quest markers so you get more of a challenge on quests.
But thats all I can really thing of as pros, as beautiful as the game is its just a grindier version of wow. Worse yet the lack of classes, class depth and class orginiality. It makes it hard to make a class your own aside from stigmas and manastone socketing. Resource gathering was easy but then became a chore, all you do is go up to a node and click it a couple times. Worse yet you have HAVE to lvl your resource gathering for quests. For all the hype, quests are your standard MMO fare, kill this gather that find him/her. Now to some of my biggest gripes in the game. Gold Spammers are the biggest problem in this game. If youre going to pick this game up BEWARE! I went afk yesterday and came back to 24 gold spam messages in the course of five minutes! FIVE! NCsoft apparentally doesnt care about these “players” but as expensive as this game gets (having to pay to bind yourself items costing alot etc.) I could only imagine what itll do to the games economy. Next problem i had were the exploiters. In this game you can choose what instance to play in to avoid too many players. But you can use that to farm boss monsters, kill a monster and switch to another instance. Finally the griefing in this game if you out DPS someone on a monster you split the exp and if you out DPS the other player you get the loot. That can only spell trouble in the future.
This game will be popular about ex WoW players, anime fans, and neone who loves pretty stuff. Dont get me wrong I havent experienced it all but from what i did experienced it was not for me
