1.0 out of 5 stars Well I just cancelled, October 3, 2009
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Well I am posting my review on this game. I know many will not agree, but as it is my review, it is my opinion. I have played online games since the text-based MUD days and have played pretty much every MMO release since UO. I have played UO, Everquest I & II, Shadowbane, EVE, City of Heroes/Villians, Age of Conan, Warhammer, Tabula Rasa, Matrix Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Asheron's Call I & II, Horizons, Star Wars Galaxies, Lineage II, and World of Warcraft. As well as many of those Korean free-to-play mmos.

I felt that Aion is nothing new at best and just a Korean grindfest repackaged for the U.S. which it technically is at worst. There were two main selling points of the game: Flight and PvPvE. Both I found to be sub-par in their implementation. Flight is limited in both location and duration so I did not find much enjoyment there. PvPvE has been done countless times in other online games and has been done better in games like Dark Age of Camelot. Nothing like going out to grind exp and then get ganked over and over again. The answer to this seems to be, just find a group, but due to the way the class system is designed as well as grouping mechanics, people want groups with one of each class, and from my experiences, rarely double up. So if you play a popular class your are screwed, same situation happened in World of Warcraft if you played a rogue or hunter. Not to mention the minute you group you can pretty much kiss your exp gain goodbye due to the penalty involved in grouping.

Crafting was poorly designed as well. Crafting is extremely expensive to raise your skill in. I know, I got 200 skill in every crafting skill in the game. To do things you must constantly grind out work orders (repeatable crafting quest) over and over and over again for hours spending loads of money at the same time. Work orders do not grand you an exp or monetary reward. They do give you a random crafting component or recipie. People will say that at least you get exp from crafting things...you get like 500exp a craft, killing one mob that takes about 1/4 the time yields 4-5 times the exp and does not cost you money. Crafting brings back the days of clicking craft, then finding something else to do for 10 minutes to an hour depending on how many items you are crafting. Also, to craft an actual piece of armor, weapon, or jewelry, you have to get rare mob drops in the form of fluxes and you need anywhere between 2-6 of them to craft a single item on top of any other rare mob drop you may need for example "Azmodean souls". Add onto that, the making of "well crafted" items is entirely random, your crafting level does not effect the chance of producing one and it just plain is not my cup of tea.

Also the leveling curve is insane in the sense that 1-10 fast and fun, 11-20 still fun, but slows down, 20-30 still some quest and slows down considerably, 30+ kill yourself. At 30 the game seriously increased the amount of experience needed to level by a factor similar to the old EQ1 days as far as leveling speed is concerned. At this point it became a constant search for groups due to the pvp element and doing highly uninteresting instances with elite enemies. I grew tired of instance grinding in EQ1 and have never become interested in it since.

Zones are designed to provide an extremely linear experience. The problem with this is that put about 10 people in an area and they can literally clean the area of mobs creating a competition for doing quests and gathering crafting materials that can at times be incredibly frustrating. Add to that frustration the increasing amount of enemies you have to kill to level and it gets even more frustrating. Also note, the ability to switch to a different channel, instance of a given area, is extremely limited or non-existent in higher level areas and you end up spending a lot of time running around trying to find something to kill. People would address this critique by saying just group up. This would be nice, but most quest items that drop are exclusive to one person in a group so if you were grouped up with just one other person, that means you now have to kill at least twice as many enemies than if you were to go solo. Note that mobs do not drop quest items every time. Also note that exp gain is cut dramatically when groups so there are many negatives associated with grouping.

In conclusion Aion is a pretty game that has been out for over a year over seas in China and Korea. At its core it is still an Asian MMO with a Western MMO white wash. Some people will like it some will not, I did not. In closing, at least they did not nerf the game the day of release like Champions Online did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with Aion, September 22, 2009
By Mark Long (Ashburn, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I had preordered the game so I was able to play in the closed beta events as well as the open beta and headstart event. I have played EQ and City of Heros, and I was really looking forward to Aion as I ultimately love a fantasy type setting.

What I like:

The graphics are amazing, the first glimpse of the floating city of Sanctum is breathtaking. I also love the character models. They are very customizable, and everyone should be able to make a toon to please them. Game play also seems to be a lot of fun. I tend to be more of a solo, casual player, and so far I haven't had trouble with that game play style. Now, not every class is going to have it as easy and be as quick. Also, I haven't played a character past level 17 so I cannot comment on the higher end game or the PVP aspect.

What I am not so keen on:

The game, at least in the beginning, is extremely linear. While the story and quests are very interesting, the fact that everyone is doing the exact same thing can cause some trouble. Also, I'm not sure how people will like going through the same storyline every time they create a new character. I will be curious to see how this is tweaked as the game matures. I also have concerns about the PVP aspect; I'm not a fan of PvP, and have not yet experienced that aspect of the game, but I'm hoping that there will be enough content with PvE that I can avoid the PvP if I want. Kill stealing can also be a problem, but not one I have encounted significantly so far.

All in all I have thoroughly enjoyed the game and will be playing for a while to come.

1.0 out of 5 stars Already ruined by cheaters, NCSoft doing nothing, October 5, 2009
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
The merits of the game mechanics themselves have already been addressed in other reviews. It is a grinder, but I expected that going in. The biggest problem with the game is that it has already been completely overrun by spammers and bots on all servers. A recent patch added a feature to block players by right-clicking, but there are so many spammers for kinah-selling sites this has proven to be minimally effective (kinah is the unit of currency in this game). The worst problem is the same RMT companies have bots out in force, making many places unplayable already.

NCSoft West's response to this has been tepid at best, with occasionally one or two bans being announced; the spammers and bots number in the hundreds per server (I have witnessed this first-hand). Their investment in this game is obviously minimal to have not anticipated this (the Korean version of the game has been out for 12+ months and is even worse in terms of this activity). Aion is a complete waste of time and money; [...]
