Quite a lot of hype around this game. It should have quite a start and then lets see how far it gets.

What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
Yeah I am very cautious about MMO hype due to the recent letdowns in the genre. I may be wrong, but since Aion has a large player-base already in Asia (about 4mil last I read somewhere), and we will be getting an updated version after several months of patching, that it should be a LOT better than games like AoC and WAR at release.
Perhaps I may eat these words, and if that ends up being the case, well, then I honestly give up with getting excited for this genre...![]()
Don't not worry yourself overmuch, tehNihilist.
News of GW2 has been promised before the end of the year, i.e. 'soon', so I am waiting with great anticipation for this one. There is still hope for this genre.![]()

News will most likely be released at PAX apparently.

News of GW2?
Nope, don't think so. They (Regina / ArenaNet) have specifically stated a few times there will be no news about GW2 at PAX.
They will have a normal GW stand and Aion will mostly feature.
The CR''s have been wrong / misinformed before, so lets hope maybe they changed their minds and didn't tell anyone and that there will be some big GW2 announcement at PAX![]()

I can't remember where I heard it...I'll search when I'm off my local account again haha.
But they did say they will make some announcements this year, and it seems logical that they would make them there. Maybe they changed their minds xD Who knows.

It does seem that there are rumblings on the different forums that they will announce something at PAX, i.e. a 'surprise'.
There is also the Gamescon towards the end of August, PAX is beginning September.
Discussions and assumptions are the order of the day after Mike said 'news very soon'.
Time will tell.

Hey peeps.
I've been looking forward to this game for quite some time now. It is quite disappointing to see that NC Soft and Megarom are doing very little to promote this game in South Africa (Africa as a whole, in fact). When you search you'll find that even Australia already has two official community fan sites!
Anyway, a couple of local Aion fans got together and started aionsouthafrica to try and at least get one strong local guild going for each faction (Asmodians & Elyos). It's just so much better to play with people who 'speaks your language', if you know what I mean...
There will be an open beta event soon so now will be a good time for those curious peeps out there to give this game a try.
