Seems like their doing good with the profession system. Thanks for the translation and good stuff!

Perhaps I missed this somewhere, but did they already say how many professions players will be allowed to have? I.e. in WoW you can only have 2 professions.

....10k to talk to NPCs.

Ooh, I can do this too!

10k to OPEN UP A NEW PROFESSION.

That's still pretty steep if I judge by the usual gold-accruing standards. Unless earning money in Aion is moderately easy, then I'm not so sure I like the idea of spending 10k for...what was it, six different crafts? Not to mention the price of guilds and other things we've already seen.

but you must remember this people in Korea for the most part are better at games then we are so making money for them is easier.

Bad, NCSoft! BAD.

*Nods agreement* Maybe it's because i'm not used to paying anyone for just leveling my crafting, but it sort of sounds like a grind of another kind...

I dont mind farming for cash as long as I'm occupied at the same time. Such as listening to music or chatting over vent with other guildies about random stuff. It's always less boring if you have someone farming with you as well.

Now I just have to find someone who likes grinding as much as I do....

They said in an earlier interview (there's a vid of it somewhere on gametrailers)f that there will be no fishing. The spokesperson had a reason, but I can't really remember it >.<

Anyways, I found the best part of WoW was crafting. It was easy, fun, and useful. Looks like Aion is adopting this, which to me is a good thing.

Honestly, I hate anything that's money = levels/skills (excluding special items, of course). Any game where you have to buy "spellbooks" from NPCs falls under this category (*cough**hack* 2Moons *cough*). I'll buy a stigma to give myself some cool new abilities that I wouldn't have otherwise, but I *refuse* to pay up for skills I should *rightfully have*.

Now, I don't mind paying a small fee for crafting skills, but I'd much rather have a quest. They've said the leveling is easy, but I hope they didn't screw us over by making it a money grind!

This is my biggest concern as well :/ I really really really hope it isn't a huge money grind kind of game..

[jameinkaiser]

guys, we dont know if 10k is a large amount yet :/ speaking relatively.
i dont think u can accumulate a whole lot of money when the level cap is only 15, and the number just might LOOK big cuz of the extra zeroes. aion doesnt have curr. denominations like wow does, and they probably modelled the currency after their own (korean currency.)
1 USD = 1,000 korean won

dont worry about it

Unfinalized game still in closed beta with no mention of how hard money is to come by.
