I found this article that described Aion perfectly, with my small edits!

Beta: OMG GUYS this game is amazing! I will be canceling my wow account because this is so amazing. I know all the people complain it's too grindy and is a Korean MMO but DON'T LISTEN!!!!! IT'S AMAZING, I PROMISE YOU!!!

Release Night: Hi guys, im posting this from my iphone while I wait in line to get my game. I paid an extra $60 for the collectors edition so I can get the free soundtrack that is downloadable on Aion's site anyway! DON'T MISS OUT ON IT DUDES!!!

Week 1: SRSLY GUYS!! BUY THIS GAME! ITS AMAZING!!! Im on the jigglybum server and have already started a guild there! THERE'S SO MANY BOTS AND GOLDSPAMMERS!!!! THE SIGHT IS AMAZING!!!! I EVEN GOT STUCK IN A TREE AND THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY PETITION FOR SIX HOURS, THEY MUST BE SWAMPED DUE TO HOW POPULAR THE GAME MUST BE!

Week 2: I kinda miss wow BUT THIS NEW GAME IS AWESOME! C'mon guys!! BUY IT!.. Its the best game ever exept for (insert game killing bug) that slows down gameplay a little bit. (Insert company here) said that they will patch it ASAP!!! I keep crashing in forts but they'll fix it... yeah, they'll help us!!!

Week 3: YAY!! PATCH DAY!! They fixed the bug! The quest text misspelling! Yeah sure they left immense crashes and huge imbalance, and still haven't banned even a single bot, but CMON GUYS!!! It's so awesome!!

Week 4: I think I might come back to wow. This game was so amazing when it came out but now the population of the server is nearly empty due to everybody going back to wow since their free month is expired and it would be stupid to subscribe to such an awful game. Do I still have a raid spot? NCsoft dumped this game in a cash grab and I feel taken advantage of

. What a waste of cash... so sad... this game never even had any potential.

3 Months later: (new post) Does anybody play (insert mmo here)? Im looking to sell my collectors edition game on ebay I have to market the cds/box/manuals as paperweights to get bids. I tried craigslist and the flea market but after some old guy had a heart attack from laughing at my asking price of 50 cents I decided to just hold off. He also told me that they still never fixed the game crashes and stuff.

4 Months later: OMG GUYS!! Have you seen the new videos from (insert new mmo here)!! I just watched the dev videos. Its going to be a wow killer for sure!!!! I just pre ordered the collectors edition so I can get the free monkey pet and so I can get in the beta!!!

I lol'ed. While I realize its satire, if you bought the CE for the physical items alone, youre a knucklehead.

I was sorely disappointed by the stuff that came in its cardboard box (another disappointment), but its a meh-ok since I wanted the ingame stuff.

I have not heard or read "knucklehead" in a very very long time..

I didnt think anyone said it anymore....

It is funny because it is true. Have you seen the new Star Wars KOTOR MMO by Bioware? Awesome! If there`s a R2D2 minipet I'll definitely get the CE.

so true this

Oh man I can't stop rofling because of how true that is! I needed a laugh! XD

SW:ToR shall break the cycle. Because it is star wars and bioware. They go together like chocolate chips and cookie dough.

same poop, different smell

hi.

eagerly waiting for your next 'How Aion Fails' thread

Agree with most of the points except for this common term "WoW killer". If you came to the game because you thought it was a WoW killer and not for the gameplay experience there's no point in playing it.

If you can't enjoy a game as it's not the most popular one out there then theres something wrong with your idea of fun.

/agree, only game that isn't just a filler and I'm actually looking forward to.

It'll have problems just like any other MMO. I bet the smugglers won't even smuggle crap like they should, and end up turning around with a combat scenario on their hands.
