Approaching the end of the month means it's time for another Aion community address. It's reliable enough to set your watch by, assuming your watch runs in one-month increments of time. This address promises an increased number of double experience weekends, with one currently running to help players accelerate their leveling. It also promises that character re-customization and gender changing services are on the horizon for players who would like said services, and briefly discusses the need for ongoing improvement in the website. There's a scarcity of hard facts, however, beyond a promise that some of these features should be available in early February.
If you were guessing that the community seems a bit... unhappy about this, you'd be guessing right. The comments for this particular entry already stretch into the triple digits, with several players calling for server merges and additional content. It also has no mention about the recent security issues that NCsoft has been contending with, a somewhat sore point for several players. Coupled with the January Eye On Community, the natives seem to be getting a tad restless, especially with no news on the many features previewed in the Visions trailer. We're sure that Aion's team is hard at work, but the fan community seems a bit less docile than before.

Well it's good to hear the fanbase is becoming less oblivious now :) Now they are beginning to see the light!

You're pretty oblivious to the fanbase in general. Every CA has a plentiful amount of QQ.

The link you posted is incorrectly the same as the Community Address link. Can you please fix it? I'd love to see the thread you elude to.

Aion is done. If NCSoft doesn't kill it before the next WoW expansion is released, they'll kill it then for sure.

I don't know what game everyone else has been playing, but I for one LOVE Aion. It's visually stunning, the PvP is actually entertaining (I'm not one to deviate from PvE and RP) and the community is one of the greatest that I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Is Aion for everyone? No, definitely not. However, NCsoft isn't going to be dropping Aion any time soon just because a few western players aren't happy with it.
