Every time an MMO launches, we're witness to a bevy of firsts. Aion has already has a few, like its first State of the Game address and first fortress defeat. Today, however, we're here to inform you that two hearty players -- Almisaela and Drno -- have reached the level 50 milestone in Aion.
We'd like to offer our congratulations to both players, who're no doubt in the middle of a three-day sleep marathon in an effort to regain their much deserved sanity. It's never not impressive when people hit these numbers so fast, and frankly makes us second guess our ability to play these games. Then again, we've got that constantly nagging voice in the back of our heads telling us we should be writing more and playing less.

One thing I never understood is "level envy", you see it all the time.. someone dings the cap for the first time or gains a server first and a plethora of "see they have no life" comments begin flying about...
They have a life, and choose to play their game instead of other things. This is neither a crime nor a sin nor does it say anything about their lives personal or otherwise, all it says is that they're efficient and good at the game. A true gamer would congratulate their achievement instead of trying to belittle it.
Games are a waste of time? So is television. Movies too... books, yeah, they are too (after all according to the logic you should be WRITING books not wasting your time reading the work of others), hell taken to an extreme "LIVING" is a waste of time because eventually you're going to die.

When you say "Nagging Voice" do you mean "wife"?

Obviously they were two friends who levelled together since they are in the same legion. They must have had a very good time!
However, now what are they going to do? *crickets*
I guess move on to another game....
and start all over again. Yay!
*yawn*

Just 2 people? Doubtful, bet it was 2-3ppl playing in shifts per account. They beat the game.

I tend to see hitting level cap this fast in any game as a design flaw. That is, of course, unless the real intent of the game is to fight other players at max level. Then I wonder why they even make you level up at all.
