They've taken the time to make the world feel more alive and fluid, which makes me happy.

lol where did you hear that? they're in beta right now.

Are the characters pre-made in this game, or do you create your own?

Yes there will be cut-scenes.

I enjoyed FF very much for the time I played it. I like grouping, but in no way would I ever want to play a game that required me to group in order to gain any exp ever again. It doesnt really make much sense when you think about it to spend vast amount of time developing a charcter that needs five or so friends to kill a random turtle. There should be a solo mix of solo and group play in any mmo.

But to the OP, I totally understand your concerns, as I'm sure alot of people do. But I NCsoft has been aiming to add a challenge to this game, without it being too much to handle, and a game where the casual player, and the hard-core player can feel like they fit in somewhere in the same game. I played FFXI for a  year, and it's a good game, but I hated how grouping was so mandatory for practically anything above level 10. Aion focuses on player skill, and action oriented combat, vs the "I'm going to stand here and click the same 3 skills all day." that WoW has. I played WoW ever since it came out, and I do think it's a good game, probably over-all the best for new gamers to start off with, I too believe the genre needs to move on past it, and have new ideas...So far Aion is one of the new ones in development where I see that...

Gotta buy a whole new set if you wanna start a different account. Other than that, it's generally the same as it was before, except now you can level alts 2x faster.

Correct, Antonia Bayle is the most populated server. Crushbone, and Najena are pretty loaded too (They are pure pve servers, though) so your best bet is AB.

Yep this game is great, and the servers are rather large, they hold alot of people. So even light servers have a decent population. Also, this is the most developed MMORPG of the current "latest" ones out, by far.

These days Pre-Orders generally aren't given out til the actual launch time. It'll probably be there.

I'm just gonna pick it up later. :P

I believe they stated at one point they'd like to have that. But I doubt it will be at character creation, probably something you get after a certain point, like LOTRO or EQ2...They're adding alot of extra elements to this game, like that....So I'd definantly think they will add surnames.

Well they've definantly stated that WASD and PnC control options will be there, but WASD is probably going to be the most useful, as there is flight, arial combat, lots of dungeon exploring and adventuring going on...Your character will be very reactive.

Actually the 8800 series will do excellent. The game is developed to run well on most systems on decent settings. They're also using a very flexible and developed engine...

I'm definantly excited about Aion! It's something different from NCsoft, they're going for action-packed combat, involving skill, and a deep lore-driven world with lots of quests, and a great AI from the NPC's and monsters. The character creation is supposed to be on par, or even better than EQ2's system. They seem very enthusiastic about this title in their interviews, it will have player housing after the initial launch, which is always a step in the right direction for me :D

Runs fine for me on Vista, I had trouble with WoW on vista, though, it had weird hitching problems once I got my new computer with Vista, but not with EQ2 : )

I'm trying but the bundle is already chosen for me, and I can't un-do it.

Yeah, but I wanna start up my subscription, again, and I can't do that without purchasing a bundle. I don't get why that is...I wonder if it will make me purchase another bundle even if I get the expansion.

Hiya, I go to re-subscribe to EQ2 after my hiatus and it's asking me to purchase a bundle package before I can subscribe...So the total's like $45. I don't wanna purchase a bundle, as i'm getting the all in one bundle with the expansion in a few days....So how can I skip that option and just pay the subscription?

Yeah well none of that is definant right now, and anyone who read the whole letter would know this : )

Well I think her poster's great...And her character is pretty!!! It can be hard to make a pretty character on there :P. And the new character model re-vamps are going to make it look a whoooole lot better!
