    PS: I was interested in it as well. Wanted to play it, after seeing the game play video I changed my mind. Goodluck to all those who are waiting so long for it. Hope you get the chance to play  it lol.

    Keep in mind, NCSoft doesn't really give a damn about a lot of things.  They don't care if their games get over run by botters and gold farmers, nor do they care if dozens of private servers open up around the world.  Hacking is prevalent in several of their games, and customer service, mostly marginal in my past experience.

    
     

    WAAAH !!

    I have never played a NCsoft game before so I can't comment on their customer services.

    Currently I am playing a very successfull MMORPG (I say successfull because I can see how the game is making money and how they are mass pulling new players into the game which increases revenue). BUT their customer service is so bad that people like me don't even bother contacting them after a few times (I contacted them a few times and they didn't even reply). The game is very very good, fun (to a certain point - before you reach end game) and the player base (GMs come on maybe once or twice every 6 months, spam shouts, spawn boss, PK ppl and go offline. Never seens one actually helping a newbie and playing with somebody to help them with quest, difficult boss, etc) community  is the game's main asset.

    That's another thing I would like to see in Aion. GMs/Voluntry GMs coming online on regular basis and playing with others to help them through difficult things or to even party with players like everyone else does (of course without using GM powers when partying normally). I am sure a GM can Play and do his/her job too.

    Say if a GM is in party with normal people grinding and playing. Then he/she sees somebody shouting for help they got a glitch or in need of help. GMs can easily teleport to that player's location, use Gm powers to help out in seconds and return to party

    ALL I want from Aion is decent customer service. If I am valued and heard as a customer I will stay loyal for as long as my supplier makes an attempt to satisfy me. I know every supplier can't satisfy everyone, but making an affort and responding to customers is what I value more than results.

    The reason I have posted my thoughts here so that if NCsoft reps monitor these threads, they can pass on customer desires (yes, I will diffenately give this a try - unless someone picks me up and throws me all the way to Mars without internet. I will probably end up begging some Aliens for internet and a computer on Mars so I can check out Aion.)

    I really - REALLY hope that Aion team is customer focused.

    PS: Sorry about long post. I am just picking up flaws from other games and trying to have them perfected them in Aion (imo) or have them implemented if they are not in the plans to enhance my experience in Aion. Just expressing my thoughts.

    Feel free to send in constructive ideas. It might help enhance Aion for us all.

    one last question that i keep over-hearing in forums and talks about computer is the term 'overclocking' but i have no idea what it stands for........so if anyone can help shed some light i would be thankful

    
    Hi

    Best not to get into over-cloaking UNLESS you have no other choice. Those enhanced coolers such as Arctic cooler are needed if you over-cloak a component in your system which requires more coolong than standard.

    If you stay away from over-cloaking:
    1) You will not burn out anything any sooner than natural cause
    2) Warrenty is not in question
    3) More system stability
    4) Less stress
    5) Less Heat

    I can say from my own experience that it's not worth risking a perfectly working system for slight  performance increase which we can't even notice in real time (a lot of the time).

    Every Graphics card comes equiped with recommended cooling from manufacturer (some with heat sink and some with fan). The 768MB Graphics card IS better than previous ones we mentioned but you have to ask yourself "Is this card going to make my games/apps run/load any faster?" (512MB is more than plenty for what the market offers right now and once next gen graphics card come in market these cards will be dirt cheap to buy). Personally I think 512 is more than enough.

  • I would REALLY get a Maxtor raptor Enterprise 10k rpm Drive and set it as C drive with windows and apps loaded onto it. Loading games and everything else is faster on that drive.

    I would keep the 500GB drive as D drive and store all music, vids, docs, etc on that so if your operating system gets corrupted or messed up, at least your data is on a different drive.

    What you have there is absulutely fine and will run all the games out there but having that 10k rpm drive will make that difference in loading, reading, writting, rendering, etc. I found those 10k rpm drives to work wonders for me so i try to recommend it to everyeone. My setup is 2x 150gb 10rpm drives on RAID 0 setup.

    Here is What I suggest you get:
    Change your processor to a Intel Quad Core (Approx £176) eg: Here
    Motherboard to an Asus board (3 years warrenty from Asus standard) eg: Here
    An Asus Graphics card (again 3 years warrenty) eg: Here
    Here is the soft hard Disk i was talking about (can be changed anytime) eg: Here
    
    My point of view is that since you are making a new system you might as well stick to it for at least arround 2 years. Asus giving 3 years warrenty means you will have the system for arround 3 years. You REALLY need to go for quad core if you intend to future proof your PC a little bit better.

    PS: Is that Creative Audigy sound card really needed? I mean your motherboard has a 8 channel HD Audio built into it. Why spend more unless you have a SPECIFIC need for it. If you are gong to use the PC for gaming and general use then scrap the Audigy i would say.

    Goodluck with whichever you decide to go with.

    Edit: My post is directed at the post above mine. Yes, better to start a fresh system with decent core components.
