I'm not a WoW lover, I have played it and I find it boring as hell, but I KNOW it's a good game. Else there wouldn't be over ten million unique players. Graphics are decent, I mean, they're cartoony, that's what they meant to make in the first place. So you can't really refurbish cartoons.

This is exactly what i first thought. I was, dare i say it, disappoint to find it was nothing like Guildwars. From what i've seen of LOTRO and WOW, it's much more in that category. Now i've not played LOTRO or WOW extensively. Heck i only played the 7 days trials for each so i cannot truely compare any game to either one of them. Seeing as i've the only MMO's i've played extensively were GW and FFXI i thought it may be time to dip into the pot of games like wow, conan and lotro. The fact that the game is run by NCsoft is more of a comfort to me, knowing what a good job they've done with GW (ignoring their other games that failed). So back to my initial question, do any of you own an account on aion?

Also, it was around before most other MMOs. It also set a mold most things have followed. There's the WoW way of MMO, the GW way, and a couple of others. EQ2 was the real classic MMO, though.

I just started playing it again and am now in Northrend with a level 68... I dont think its anywhere near as bad as your saying and its coming from the most neutral of viewpoints you can have. WOW has its bad points but its the most successful MMORPG out there and theres no way any other MMORPG will ever perfect like you are asking them to be. You dont have 7 million active unique accounts if the game is as bad as you say... I seriously dislike it when the game/movie people are reviewing is crap because they say its this and that but its popular for a reason and if you cant grasp that then hard luck no need to cry about it because your mind doesnt comprehend the good points about the game.

More often it's the nerf bat. Paladins were ridiculously weak until not too long ago, the buff has made them extremely good, yes, but that's cause lorewise they're polar opposite of the overpowered death knights.
