Ok really i got a chanter to lvl38 on official gorgos server and i did quitted
In my opinion the problem is...in that game when u reach level 30 till lvl40-45 u gotta play on group...other wiser ur screwed...it starts to get booring cause of the soul heal...if u pass 2 hours farming, questing or whatever and u die once, u lose everything u got till there...its really booring
It's also based on wow system, but they got plus one really important thing where aion was better than any other game, the flying system i mean i've tryed perfect world, wow, l2, metin and a few more, no game was able to do such a "free" flying mode has aion can...
Now comparing to l2...i don't think it can even be compared...i guess that all of you prefer l2 to wow cause wow is boring and is stopped and u don't get that adrenaline of the l2 game speed...just as u can't compare l2 to wow cause, despite both are mmorpg, i really think l2 is unique and no other game will ever be compared to it, u can't compare l2 to aion :D
here are my feelings hope it helped on your decision ^^
