The more and more I played the Beta of Aion, the more I see it not being as big as I thought...it really pulls you in at first, but after the novelty wears off, there isn't much to the game...plus, you cannot level past 30 without going into a faction PvP zone for all of 30-50...you can make it to 50 without going there, but I guess it would take you almost a year... I don't like the idea of being ganked the last 20 levels of a game and have no choice in the matter... The game is definitely PvP based, similar to Warhammer...but seems a bit more shallow than WAR at the moment... I guess right as the game releases there will be this BIG update adding stuff...but we will see...not holding my breath...
Currently I stand saying the biggest fight will be between SW:ToR and FFXIV...these other games, Champions, DCo, Aion, Star Trek, and many others, don't seem to have what is needed to pull off a big game, they will most likely be "fillers" for people between their current game (WoW, EQ2, WAR to SW:ToR or FFXIV)... Now, most likely many of you are thinking I don't know what I am talking about and probably going to dismiss most of that I think, but I will let you know I have played over 50 MMORPGs, and have been playing MMORPGs for over 10 years...I have always been researching numbers and what makes good games...yes I could be wrong, but my "opinions" come true most of the time...
When it all comes down to it, a good game is what you like...so really I should be saying successful...but play what you enjoy
