MMO's have always struck me as providing a surprisingly high cost:entertainment ratio. As opposed to most console games, which you'll spend $60 bucks on, play for 12 hours, and then never touch again. Though really, that's an argument for/against MMO's in general, not just Aion.

Yeah, that's why I don't rush to buy new releases of games in general. I don't have a problem spending that much into it as long as I'm enjoying it, especially when if it has cash value if I decide to quit. My main concern was ending up investing too much time and money in another korean grindfest again, which I want no part of. I'm liking the sound of that though, it seems to have some desirable traits for something different for a change.

Just curious but can anyone accept or deny GU Comics review of the game?

Personally, I'm always a little scared to get attached to NCSoft games of fear it gets shut down quickly after.
Today's news only strengthen that feeling: http://teethandclaws.blogspot.com/2009/09/blundering-towards-failure.html

Guild Wars, City of Heroes, and Lineage I & II say otherwise.
Also, this game already has 3.5m subscribers or so in Asia - in addition to over 300,000 North American preorders. The chances of it dying off anytime soon are very, very, very small.

No, it does not. It just says they can be successful too which I never contested.
It's not that I don't believe that NCsoft can pull off a successful game but rather that I don't necessarily associate success with the name. Rather, what comes to my mind is a record number of closed online games where some of their competitors still have games online have 10 years. Yes, they've had their number of successes but they have also made a fair number of failure.
I'm not saying I won't try Aion. Actually, it's the next on my list but... I have little trust for NCsoft.
