Sadly, I'm on the EU servers and a large portion of bloggers are US.<br /><br />That said, if a Vent server were up for bloggers to chat during gaming, I'd go for this. Anything to bring the blogging community, and thus a portion of the Aion community, closer together can only be beneficial.Psychehttp://wingedrage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-6119978021306330192009-11-12T20:49:12.906-05:002009-11-12T20:49:12.906-05:00Hrm, interesting thought.

I know there's really no way I'd create a new character elsewhere sadly, I normally don't like the leveling process as it is and really want to focus on my current character as much as possible with my limited time spent in game.<br /><br />I'm kind of curious about the current faction and server distribution... <br /><br />Anyway, I'm pretty attached to our legion, but I'm sure if anyone is interested in dropping by on Lumiel that you could join us if you wanted :)<br /><br />Is anyone else running their own legion?

All of my...No, I love Aion a great deal right now. All of my friends that are playing still love it, so I have people to talk to, and my guild is going strong. I am just worried about the future of the MMO. <br /><br />Part of what makes MMO's unique is that they grow and change, which sometimes can take an MMO in a completely different direction (for better or worse). Korean MMO's tend not to grow at nearly the same rate, and are very happy releasing as little content as possible. <br /><br />NCSoft will HAVE to release enough new content to keep the game feeling like you haven't done this all before. Whether they actually take steps to do this remains to be seen. I am really hoping they keep the game fresh and new, as I really love the world of Atreia. <br /><br />However, there are several very promising MMO's coming in about a years time, and if by then they have failed to keep the game fresh, it will be a very easy decision to drop my sub. Until that happens they have me hooked, and I am likely to remain so until there are far greater alternatives.Kheivalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621331203582270319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-14712311577594184772009-11-11T12:21:53.861-05:002009-11-11T12:21:53.861-05:00I guess I just haven't had the bad experience ...I guess I just haven't had the bad experience you guys are having/had. I'm still enjoying the game a lot and can't wait to log on when I get home. Maybe the trick is that I don't get a lot of game time, so I don't burn out as quickly as some folks do. I'm also not into rushing to the top (just not enough game time)which can make it feel like a chore instead of a game. /shrugMojeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742556565701833031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-75370469371360575312009-11-11T09:35:43.049-05:002009-11-11T09:35:43.049-05:00Well, it makes sense you shouldn't be able to ...Well, it makes sense you shouldn't be able to uninstall it from your computer while the game is with it, and that it has to be installed to your computer with Aion. It is a program meant to check if you cheat and block/ban you if you do. If it was optional the people botting would just choose not to install it, and pretty much no one woud opt to have it voluntarily. <br /><br />That being said, if it stays on your computer long after Aion is gone, and it affects your interactions with other programs I would encourage it to take a flying leap. <br /><br />Either way, NCSoft should just fix what problems it has instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Whatever measures they are taking to stop botting and spamming are having very limited effect at best. I personally would take an anti-piracy/cheating program any day over wading through miles of drones competing for your kills and destroying market prices.Kheivalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621331203582270319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-40691441292830250622009-11-10T22:10:11.325-05:002009-11-10T22:10:11.325-05:00The real issues with Gameguard are the manner in w...The real issues with Gameguard are the manner in which the software works to be quite honest.<br /><br />It's installed automatically without asking you, which is considered a very big negative for many North American gamers in terms of anti-piracy programs on their PCs. On top of this, you can't uninstall Gameguard from your PC, and removing the game itself usually doesn't remove the software. <br /><br />Essentially, it's very similar to a rootkit in functionality and installs itself as a driver on your system, which isn't an ideal way to combat the problem of cheating in a game in my opinion (and that of many others as well).Fedoldinnhttp://www.quirkyquiescence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-26450865992285766222009-11-10T13:11:24.135-05:002009-11-10T13:11:24.135-05:00Yeah, I don't like captcha's in gaming in ...Yeah, I don't like captcha's in gaming in general. Nothing breaks the emersion like having to stop what you are doing to type in a randomly generated sequence. <br /><br />I like Aion a great deal, but when one of the new MMO's comes out I am looking forward to (TOR, Earthrise, FFIV) Aion will have to make some incredible improvements to retain my subscrioption. <br /><br />Most of them are a good year away though, so NCSoft has nothing really to fear for the time being. I have wasted so much of my life killing myself to be the top dog at a game, that it stops being fun after a while. If I don't feel like logging in I don't. <br /><br />Hope to see you again in Aion in the future, but would understand if the game is no longer fun for you. Hopefully NCSoft will do something interesting in the near future, as most of the stuff they add to the game just tends to be bug squashing (which isn't bad), but can make the game stale after too long.Kheivalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621331203582270319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-85954508314120880292009-11-10T12:52:06.663-05:002009-11-10T12:52:06.663-05:00I chuckled at the reading whilst crafting, thats e...I chuckled at the reading whilst crafting, thats exactly what I did and managed to finish a good few books I'd previously overlooked on the ol' bookshelf.<br /><br />Overall Im a bit upset over the way my Aion experience has went as Ive nose dived from having a brilliant time to really not wanting to log on.

I...WOW, that is spooky, the title is even similar. I swear I had no idea you wrote that, but the opinions expressed in it are incredibly similar. <br /><br />This post sparked from a comment made by a guildie that had restarted a few days back and was already well into his 20's and said to me in Legion chat on Friday "It won't be long we will have two toons higher level than Kheivalo". I had another friend one time tell me that he no longer enjoyed WoW he just "played it to feel better than others", which really made me sad.<br /><br />Plus we all have that friend that plays waaaay too much and constantly tells you that "you level way too slow". In the end though he always hits max level first and burns out because he raced up there so fast no one was able to keep up with him.Kheivalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621331203582270319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-75766681088846629742009-11-02T16:34:17.843-05:002009-11-02T16:34:17.843-05:00hehe, I wrote something similiar back while waitin...hehe, I wrote something <a href="http://www.quirkyquiescence.com/2009/07/26/roses-stop-and-sniff" rel="nofollow">similiar</a> back while waiting for Aion to release. It really is important to play at a pace you're comfortable with and avoid peer pressure/desires to reach level cap. You cannot regain the 'innocence' of leveling your first character.Middeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516767991331372814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-68909982282511044182009-10-30T19:15:47.720-04:002009-10-30T19:15:47.720-04:00That still leaves you behind in ranks though. Rig...That still leaves you behind in ranks though. Right now I am working on Rank 5 Soldier. Plus I am far too lazy to make a big push to 50. After an hour or two I need a serious break from leveling, even if it is crafting or pvping. <br /><br />I am focused less on leveling and more on keeping myself entertained long enough to get to max level. In past MMO's when I pushed too hard I found myself burned out at max level, and would either have to take a major break or end up quitting shortly thereafter.<br /><br />If that is your style though, I hope it works out for you and you have major fun beating low level face.Kheivalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621331203582270319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592375543751652099.post-17223113302024578342009-10-30T18:39:28.605-04:002009-10-30T18:39:28.605-04:00I haven't really done much in PvP yet.
