Aion - Angels or Demons?

Oh dear me...

I'll be taking my time with this one. I still have guild wars on the side and I don't want to get caught up in the MMO rat race like WoW again.

Gorgos still appeals to me as a peaceful server to lurk on.

Any links to server info?

Yeah read all about the server issues yesterday. I think the best place to get some info on how the servers are doing would be: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/european-server-forums/

And I agree with you Voicy, do not rush.

I knew there would be issues with the servers, and this is not even the official release. From what I understand they are trying to limit the amounts of people logging in to try keep problems at a minimum, since everyone will be in the starter zones.

They said they will be upping the queue for logging into servers however, since at the moment there are more people wanting to log in than the queue can handle. This is happening on all the ENG servers from what I can see.

The thing is - people can't be mad at them for this. It's the birth of an MMO - it's only natural that it would suffer from a drastic surge of new accounts logging in.

If they were to make it fluent by allowing login by location (i.e. SA users get to log in on thursday only) then there would be a way bigger stink. So okes must just relax.

Here is a nice link on server stats atm:

Wow! Some interesting server stats there!

It seems everyone wants to be either a Gladiator or a sorceror...

I'm glad to see the Assassin class is right at the bottom of the list.

Yeah it kind of confuses me >_<

Now I am reconsidering my choice as a Sorcerer.

Curse my indecisiveness!!!

But then again this is only early start data, will likely look a lot different after release.

Ye I was pondering Gladiator as well - but I'll stick with Assassin :)

I'll roll a gladiator alt though. I'm not a huge fan of spell casters. Even though I'm loving my Ele on guild wars...

Pity .... I played with the sorceror class in the Beta and really enjoyed it ... I've always been a spellcaster at heart. And in the Beta sorcerer seemed like one of the lesser played classes.

In any case, you'll be free to create more characters now - the limit of 2 doesn't apply anymore - to test my theory I logged into one of the German servers briefly and created a new char.

By the looks of things, even if you are Elyos on one server, you'll be able to create an Asmodian on the other - you're basically limited to one particular faction per server. This wasn't a factor in the beta releases, but it definitely counts now.

i need to redownload the client saai

Pretty much the same as was evident on WoW ... to stop spying and cross faction communication
