I enjoyed playing the first 2 beta event s so much I pre-ordered a copy of the game for my son. We always play MMOs together but was not going to pre-order 2 right off the bat.

For anyone out there that has been disappointed by past MMOs, like WAR and AoC, which I played both. You will not be disappointed in AION. The only way you get disappointed is if you are a person to find a fault in everytinhg, or just do not like themepark style games, or you are just a huge WoW fanboi and have never played anything else but WoW.

Now if you have played the china version and are like OMG that sucked, well of course it did it is an Eastern version. What NCSoft is doing to localize it to the West is Fing amazing.

Im glad more people aren't pre-ordering. They sold over 50K pre-orders and the 2 servers are pretty much packed all the time for the events. So stay away don't pre-order just wait till release!
