--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on August 06, 2009, 03:39:34 PM ---Ok, so I've devised up some more questions for you all! I use to play WoW until I hit 80, but then I didn't really see any reason to continue to gain armor because it was just another grind. I currently play Eve Online with no real satisfaction when playing it. So here are the questions!
Official TMRNetShark Questions For Aion:
* Smaller than WoW, correct? But still filled with tons of quests and none really too similar (Get me away from Dailies!)?
* Cities? How many MAIN cities? Are there smaller towns and bases for supplies and such?
* Armor System, do you have to repair your armor and such? Does it get more and more expensive as you level? (I hated 50g repairs)
* Definite room for expansions (like BC and WotLK for Wow)?
* There is actually people playing it? How many people can fit on a server? (Estimate)
* Is there a possible prevention of the number of "powerful" classes? (CoughPaladinCough)
* Would someone who played Wow and enjoyed leveling in it (me) enjoy leveling in Aion?
* And lastly, END game material... Will it keep me going (Like PvPvE and such for Armor or reknown or Cool looking Wings!)?

1. Lots of quests in 1.0(even though quest-exp scale poorly in 1.0, is fixed for our release). Haven't seen any dailies, only repeatable you can do 100times in total, what happens when you do all of them I dunno, never bothered :>
2. There's one main city for both sides(panda&sanctum). Though there are atleast one outpost for supplies(they have everything maybe except crafters & pvp-vendor & broker(see it like AH from wow, but only buyout).
3. No rmor repaid, you can buy shards though which increase your physical damage, quite expensive but quite useful.
4. After version 1.5 they've said there will be bigger update which most likely can be compared to expansions, though I tihnk it's more like Lineage2 system with chronicles(that will say big update lvl-increase and alot of stuff happens, but free compared to expansion).
5. Don't really understand, but there's no über-class that kicks everyones butt, but some classes are better than some depending on circumstances. Also some pvp-skills etc will be balanced in 1.5.
6. Dunno how many thhere are per server, haven't read anything about that, but EU servers had 20k spamming login-server CBT3-4 when it had 4servers, and were'nt any special queue to get in(though it did happen that it was above 600person before you in queue on the biggest servers).
7. There's instances and group-quests/campaign, it won't be fast to level to 50, but it won't be slow either. Olny leveled to 30 myself so can only talk from my experience there.
8. There's castle-sieges which gives you access to special instances only to the legion owning it, are also quite some world bosses and pve-instances. Also there's pvp-ranking and top 3 gain special abilities that's worth farming for if you feel like it. I dunno amount of instances etc, but I heard that around 20instanced in total are added in 1.5(most of them are end-game what I've read).

You can without problem reach 30 within a week(in version 1.0) and max level is 50 in 1.2(which has increased XP from quests etc) and EU/NA will be launched as 1.5(more quests increased and more exp also including more leveling instanced).
It's more like vanilla-wow than a normal korean mmo when it comes to leveling, also the most bothersome quest I seen were to collect 50marks that has 100% drop chance and that's a group quest(it can be soloed, but still marked as group) and that's a campaign quest that gives loads of exp either way.
Btw the fastest I heard someone level were 7days to reach 45(which is max-lvl in version 1.0). So no 1000 vials of super flying fishes sperms gathering ;o Though I would actually like if I got a quest like that.

WoW is ok - it's not as complex as something, say, on the lines of a DoD style RPG --- so if it's like that, with it possible to level pretty quick ... WITHOUT playing 24/7 - ok, that's cool - more high level players = more happy players. The only reason you would prevent people from hitting the max - is if your devs & creative people are ... not creative at all, incompetent and failures ( see: silkroad online, rappelz, any korean mmo ).
Sure - if they took the plunge into allowing quick leveling - then some fun challenging gameplay, events, pvp all for max level people (and interesting paths for character development and skill combination).

Hahahaha!
So I come to WoW - I know zero about it, never read a faq, guide - nothing - and I look at all these character classes ... so here's what's going through my head:
"Oooh, night elf ... hey, reminds me of the night elf boob juice [ that blue gamefuel stuff, if you aren't aware -lmao- ] they sell in the soda case ... that stuff tastes good ... human ... gnome ... lol look at that hair rofl midgets rule ... dwarf ... ... ... horde sucks ... ok - human it is. Hmm ... classes ... warrior ... wtf's a warrior ... ah they usually suck ... mages ... bleh, parties suck ... druid, omg I made that mistake on NWN ... rouge ... thief always blows ... whoa paladin - they kicked ass in WC3 ... they were like invincible and shit - *click*"

I come from wow. . .passed trough warhammer and found it more complex. . .so it wasnt as enjoyable.
aion makes me as happy as wow.
difference? why am i playing aion?
i lost my wow account on a drunken night. my lvl 60 sham with the first earthfury boots that ever dropped in my server (5th person to reach lvl 60 btw) and im too lazy to redo all those quests. . .cause i had my warrior alt and my druid alt, . . .and doing t he same quests a 4th time is just not cool.
I remember 40 man raids. . .
nowadays you can kill onixya with 3 peeps. . . thats just sad man. thats FORCING people to buy the xp. green items from the xp are better then epics from the original.
aion is as easy to handle as wow. i've played a warrior and a priest to lvl 12 in aion and both are really nice!
i felt the priest was a lot easier to handle (can heal yourself. . .no bandages )
tho the warrior has some sick spell graphics.
as far as i've read pvp in aion is pretty good.
pvp in warhammer was awesome tho! that was a total plus over wow
so you should try it,. . . go pre order it for 5 dlls and get access to the closed beta. if you dont like it (which i doubt) just dont buy it.

OK. It's looking like something I may like to try out - b/c WoW looks great and all, but ancient, overplayed, and dying.
So -
1-12 how long did that take?
1-30 how long did that take?
Can you hit a decent level without playing day and night? ( Like, playing an hour or two a day - I hit max in NWN - and I played for YEARS with that acct, and had hella fun )
[ Really - even though I'm hearing "It's GOOD!!" - it's still got the mark of feces on it - that Korean flag. It's still pulled out of that giant toilet bowl we know as Korean gaming companies. ] '

I'm tempted to - but - there's nobody who really played start to max yet - is there?
B/c - there are some Korean titles which are shit, but they're like constipation. You're all good and fine for a while - completely happy ... then all of a sudden *BAM* it's the turd from hell.
But you don't know till you've already wasted hours building a nice char - not to mention spending some money on it.
reecee:
i played from 1 to 30 in beta and i realy like it
except for when you are leveling and a group of 5 or more asmodians attack you and you have no chance of winning
or when you are hitting a mob and a assasin hits you from behind:)
