1.5 addresses the lack of quests. You should check out what it has before you write the game off.

"But he’s confident that they’ve gone through their game enough to respond to criticism like “there’s nothing to do at level xx!” and prevent mid-level lulls."

Yes, lets judge PvP and Endgame content in a limited, 3-day beta where the cap is set at 30! Better, since you have clearly experienced all the game has to offer in such short a time, why not write up a review for us and submit it to Eurogamer? Im sure they will proudly post it next to their lauded Darkfall review.

Sarcasm aside, word of mouth is actually helping them a lot, despite what you may think, most people are buzzed and eager to play the game. OFC in the long run it wont matter, as subscription numbers after the first month will plummet, as happens with all other MMOs in this age of WoW, but if Aion holds on to about 200k it will do fine.

Seriously, I know where you come from. You happen to be one of them WoW fanboi's that actually believe that game to be innovative and original. Let me clarify it for you in simple terms you might even get. There is nothing original about WoW or innovative. Well maybe the fact that they made it extremely easy for the crybaby fanboi crowd to do things that only hardcore could do before. Yet your type won't be happy till you can actually avoid the fight with Yogg Saron and buy the pics from him. I came from the Mal 'Ganis PvP server ( one of the oldest ), played from The Stress Test beta till about 2 months ago. After my first experience in Aion I have logged into WoW for a hot five minutes. There was nothing innovative about WoW's PvP as a matter of fact after L2 where even your own faction could kill you. WoW's so called PvP was laughable. Its "jump around in cirlces" hope you don't die this includes the so-called tough grind of Arena.
Now about WoW's false belief that it is original (haha) not even the lore. Most ripped of from Tolkein and in turn the Warhammer table top game universe. That they 'invented' the MMO genre (LOL) , NCSoft has actually been at it longer. There were Anarchy Online and UO long before. What wow did originate is the pandering to the "I can't kill it crybaby crown please nerf" , I mean really you do not even have to complete long tough chains to get a warlock and or Paladin epic mount anymore. Yes WoW's contribution to the genre was catering to the 'crybabies' at every turn. Sorry but I suspect you started WoW with the TBC xp or even WoTLK. Never seen Naxx when it was actually hard and a level 60 end game instance/Raid. And, to top it off you needed to be attuned to get 'in'.

Tell me does blizz pay you to come here and nyerk about games you obviously know nothing about? Yet here you are. I will tell you a lot of old school MMO gamers and old WoW players are turning to Aion. Why? Because it offers challenges that sadly not everyone will be able to complete. Near impossible bosses to kill.., etc. You see most of us do not mind grinding a little to achieve,unlike most WoW players. Tell me did they give you a purple for your nyerk here? Cause that how you get gear there either 'cry' or come nyerk about another game. One that looks and plays a 1000 times better than that old dinosaur you love so much? One with challenge written all over it? Go ahead nyerk all you want. Will not stop people from realizing that a challenging game that looks good and feels good will be worth playing.

What will really pee WoW people off is two fold, one NCSoft does not allow cheats aka Add-ons, never has never will. And two they never have ever pandered to the 'crybaby nerf crowd', and this is what really has you mad at them. One thing for you or anyone like you "easy mode game thatta way----->"

Except the players really don't have the choice. The Balaur balance out the sides and are freaking badass at the worst of times. If a side ignores them they'll pay for it, heavily. I do agree that the PvPvE thing is not a great step forward like they'd want you to believe, but it is something I personally love anyway and can't wait to get into it.

I feel the system gives both pve and pvp more meaning and depth, and though there will be gankage from time to time (inevitable in -any- competative multiplayer online game) the fact it will mean something, not just a way to farm for gear for instance, will make it great for me.

Playing mmo games on a private server is not only illegal and later coming to complaint about it on a forum for people that play games on real servers is just dumb.... You comment about WoW well that's understandable. WoW is not a game for everyone people that are graphic buffs and people that like free to play stuff or the kind of people that buy into hypes like this...

WoW is terrible and Jack is a carebear, don't mind him.

Another WoW fanboi there ^^^ I will say to you what I said to the last :

"easy mode game thatta way----->"

And Jack you just proved how ignorant you are. You must be one of the Blizzard employees caught on camera taking Aion swag in Germany this last week. LoL GG sir, with the true easymode game.
