Eh. I played Aion for quite a bit. Started on the head start, ended up hitting 50 around January, and.. it all just went downhill from there.
The game looks pretty, i'll give it that. The roleplay community on Lumiel was nice (At least the Elyos community. I heard some nasty stories Asmo-side, NOT THAT I'M SAYING ALL THE ASMODIANS WERE LIKE THAT.)
But, the game has withered, and NCSofts customer service was pathetic. (At least what I experienced when I had issues every so often.) Then again, I have a bitterness towards NCsoft and their "Let's push out as many MMORPGs as possible in the shortest time-frame, give them half a development team who doesn't do their jobs, milk them for all we possibly can, and then shut them down." mentality. XD
That, doubled up with a highly unbalanced PvP system that more or less forced grouping unless you were extremely geared, a community full of griefers and gankers, and almost no end-game content?
... 1/10 from me. I really, really wouldn't suggest it. I'de save your money, and try something else.
