If it follows the same F2P model as Lineage 2 it'll be totally worth it.

Downloading atm and I'll just play on the Free Trial for 10 days, it's up to level 40 anyway and I'm never gonna play enough to get 40 in 10 days.

Maybe. I will make a pretty character, fly over pretty landscapes, and then get bored because there is nothing beneath the prettiness.

I played Aion for awhlie, was OK, nothing spectacular. Had nothing to make me want to keep playing it instead of WoW or even play it alongside WoW.

I sure hope you guys all played on the Asmodian side! Cause it's the true Aion experience.

Their world feels so alien.

More like good games go f2p because WoW players are stuck with their game.

See LOTRO, amazing game.

If you don't like WoW, I'm not sure your opinion on MMOs holds any water.

I've played pretty much every single worthwhile MMOs out there.

If there's someone who knows his stuff when it comes to MMOs on this board, it's me.

WoW isn't bad, it's just not very good either. A big reason why it became so popular is that when it came out MMOs weren't really well known and it was one of the first heavily marketed one. Heck many people still think WoW was the first MMO ever.

And when people look for a MMO an important thing to look for is population, and since WoW has them all bested in that regard it helped it get even bigger.

I mean Rift pretty much has everything WoW has and more, but while it's successful it's still extremely far from WoW's success.

LOTRO's an extremely good PVE MMO with stellar writing and better gameplay than WoW, this one I suspect was hurt by it's lack of real PvP.

Heck even SWTOR would be better than WoW if it wasn't run so terribly. It had a smoother launch at the very least.

I am going to give it a try in all likelihood, yes. It's very pretty looking, which seems like a good enough reason to try an MMO.

It's extremely pretty that's for sure.

And it has arguably the best Character Creator ever (Eve's might be better).

F2P is more profitable for MMOs anyway.

It's so easy to suck money out of people when they're already playing.

MMOs were F2P and s***ty long before WoW. Replace 'WoW' with 'Everquest' and you might be right.

I know the only times I played MMOs were when before WoW was big. And they were still F2P and s***ty. Last MMO I played before WoW was Rose, which I guess came out after WoW, but I don't think WoW had beaten Everquest by then anyways.

Oh there's no denying that, but crappy F2P mmos always existed.

I'm talking about AAA titles going F2P cause they can't compete.

It's kinda free so you wouldn't lose much.

I'll be playing that until GW2.

You are, right now, posting on a message board dedicated to Video Game Character Popularity Contests.

You're not allowed to say your time is too valuable for things.

WoW had beaten Everquest by the time it had gone into beta phase 2. (EQ2 was in beta at the same time.)

Was always curious about Aion, but never tried it. I have played Rift, though, and if I were going to dabble in one game again, it'd probably be that one.

There's this huge update and I think there'll be a new server and all.

Unless it's some kind of week headstarts for paying members or something.

Oh and just to make it clear, the f2p model of NA Aion won't be the same as European Aion.

NA model has NO restrictions whatsoever, it pretty much only uses a cash shop which I'm checking atm and it's nothing out of the ordinary, nor huge advantages (running speed scrolls, cosmetic items, emotes, xp boosts, etc).

Sounds like a sweet deal to me!
