I liked Aion. It was grindy, but it wasn't a knuckle gnawing sit in a spot and pull all day grinding like DAoC was. I wish I hadn't had to deal with NCSoft as I might have played longer.

You first pick warrior, mage, cleric, or rogue.
Then you can pick three out of the eight available souls for that archtype. Not all 8 are available yet, and that number may change. You get 4 "roles" (aka dual specs) that allow you to change your spec, bars, etc. on the fly. So I had a tank role with a little dps thrown in, and a dps roll with a little tanking thrown in, and I had an assassin with a little bard action going on, but level 20. It was pretty neat!
You can't cross archtypes as of now, they they are toying with the idea in some sort of dimished capacity.
all 8 are available bud
I played all 32 classes in the betas
each archetype also has a pvp soul available also
so there are 36 so far, and they said eventually they can see having up to 100

I liked Aion too, and i didn't mind the grind that much, what bothered me more was the crazy amount of botting, now i don't really care how others level up, but when entire spawn areas are just being wiped out by 5 bots 24/7 then its a problem.

I really like Rift's graphics and general presentation. It's very WoW-y, but that's a good thing to me: means it's easy to pick up and play, and very intuitive. The calling and class structure is particularly good - pretty much like having three different mini-talent trees. Hopefully it'll be relatively easy to balance. The gameplay is very dynamic, and I like the movement and general choice of spells characters have. It's definitely very appealing to WoW players, and if you're after something different, it certainly delivers plenty of excitement over the short-term. If they can make a decent endgame, this one might be a sleeper.

That is a lot of gum flapping just to avoid discussing the state of WAR. You know, the game we figured would flop that you so avidly defended? So, how are things over there these days? Just curious.
you mean the game that ended up with better pvp then Aion and just released an expansion, is that the game you're talking about?

Are you seriously trolling a moderator? For God's sakes, both games sucked. Drop it already and stay on topic.

It is worth saying that Aion was a successful game for me. I enjoyed the 5 months I played very much. What I didn't enjoy was the endgame, but that is okay. It's kinda sad to see it failing now, and I believe it is due to the endgame.
War on the other hand was not as much fun. I played the beta, PvPed a bunch on really unbalanced terms, and then quit. War is f2p now, isn't it? That should pretty much explain its current state.
RIFT I believe will be more like Aion was for me. I will have fun, it will be awesome for a while, but eventually I will get to the endgame and end up doing the same-ol same-ol, so I will quit. I'm ready to be proven wrong though!!
The fact you think WAR is f2p now tells me how much your opinion on gaming should mean to me.

We'll ignore the part where he opened his mouth first towards me, and focus on the part of you calling him a Moderator, He's a not moderator... I can point you to his post history to show you how much of a Moderator he isn't.
