Fuck, is that how much clowns are making these days? Jesus christ. I'm in the wrong industry.

I am sure your parents are proud.

"Our kid may not amount to shit, but that little fucker sat on his unemployed ass on a computer and hit keys on a keyboard and proved to the world he was worth a shit on the internet by pissing on the floor when he ran out of cups."

Good work Cartman. Time to tell mom to empty the shit-bucket of Cheesypoofs.

I really doubt that I hit 48 before you were 42 and my guildies weren't far behind me. Maybe you were on your server so grats on that? I guess.

So less than 3 months from launch to dump?

Some things don't change.

If you played the bleeding edge of AoC and Vanguard, and possibly WAR, then you would know 3 months to dump is awesome.

Aion didn't get the scam of box sales that AoC and WAR were able to pull due to franchise, but they did pretty well.

The Big Boss in Korea is very happy with his latest rehash. Aion is a success, unlike WAR and VG which were confirmed to bleed money. AoC however made money, it made so much money that Funcom immediately ramped up another 30-man division to develop their new titles after the first 2 weeks of AoC box sales.

According to current industry standards (WoW is always excluded), Aion and AoC were great business successes.

I posted an easy fix....

On top of that I'm interviewing for a job down in South Florida (driving from Orlando -> Ft. Lauderdale during my off-days to do the interviews) which would require me to move but hey, for $60,000 starting salary I'll take a break from Aion.

Basically, real life took over. I'm not in college anymore where I could play 12 hours a day and compete for every world first. Once I'm situated with my job I'll be back and you can continue your stalking though Fair? Oh, and at least I was the first Cleric to 42 before stopping ~

Well he's actually not making 60k yet if you read his post. His current job, he's working 50-60 hours a week, probably a busboy or something, but he's HOPING to get the 60k job, interviewing or w/e on his "offdays"...

Someone should write a song about it.

Also Level 1-10 should be able to chat with one another at least.

They had a system already coded to block part of the communication channels before level X. They raised that to Y and show the world they are fighting the KinaTerrorists with all their might.

If they wanted to spend any kind of money they would pay a couple people to walk around and ban bots. There is no logical code that would work well.

They also made it so I cannot mail my Alchemist toon the stuff I gather more than once a week. Yay.

Or this, too.

Gotta admit the spam is all but gone now. I don't see how the communication blocks at low levels will affect me or my team mates in any negative way. I don't see the logic in it from a marketing standpoint though. The first few levels are so crucial to hook players... I guess I might be affected by the massive amount of people quitting the game before level 10 in the future?

Tried Training Camp/Grounds instance tonight. Our 4-man team hit 25 late in the night and we just zoned in to try a few elites and see what all the XP rave was about. We were not disappointed. Around 25k per kill + Abyss points + quests.

What should have been a few minutes of quick kills before logout turned into full-blown exploration (if that term can apply to the size of this instance). There were only 4 of us (Tank/Cleric/Chanter/Sorc) all level 25. We got curious about the first "boss". I was not really expecting to get to the end but we just kept on going.

The whole experience was actually quite reminiscent of EQ. Careful pulls, scary patrols, challenging but not overly complex/scripted bosses. Just the right amount for the first real instance, I thought.

Blue loot on the boss was neat too.

So is this worth even me going to pick up in the morning? Or is it already halfway sunk?

Having done the eq, to wow, to aoc, to war, should i expect the same as the last two mmos or does aion have any type of staying power?

[nu_11]

I could already tell this game was going to crash during Beta. Glad I didn't get pulled in like AoC and WAR, which you guys also cock rode in the beginning.

The whiners on this forum are exaggerating, but they're right when talking about the huge exodus that will hit the game pretty soon. It's too hard core/a time commitment for casuals.

Random screenshot that reminds me of EQ.... you have to cross multiple invisible bridges with twists and turns to get to a boss. If you fall off and survive the only way out is to suicide or port.

It lacks staying power.

I all but quit and I am level 30 and feel like i got my money worth at least.
