Aion - multiboxable!~

[Negativ1337]

Gief new game.

I gave AION a chance. Just like Age of Conans, Lord of the Rings, what more crap we have that sucks hard?

(And then when you buy the game they are 65 euro each, then a month later you walk in the same store and its there for 11,95!)

if Blizzard gave us more character customization options i wouldn't even be bothering to look at Aion

at present, WoW has tremendous accessibility, but it still needs customizability/personalization to fully leverage the social networking model that i believe is at the root of its success

no MMO is going to even come close to supplanting WoW until developers take away the lesson that the "MMO" in MMORPG is the key to success rather than the "RPG" which has seen little innovation since the days of pen and paper

i hope that the "next-gen" MMO being developed by Blizzard understands this, otherwise it probably won't even outdo its predecessor

You also have to understand that not all people can afford high end computers that can support high definition graphics. That is where WoW had an advantage because even dual cores can handle WOTLK.

There is so much room for customization in WoW that doesn't push the graphics requirements one bit.

The north american release of aion has the script or macro functions stripped down and botting is strictly against the rules. You can macro several abilities to run but you cant do some in the same macro and one macro will not trigger a 2nd macro.

i.e. cant target someone in the same macro as attacks . cant auto follow in the same macro you attack or heal in.

I don't understand what the aversion to botting is if a game allows it. Nothing would make me more giddy than being able to make my boxes behave as well as if I were individually conrolling them.

I will never play any game made by NCSoft. My experience with both Lineage and Lineage II is far from an enjoyable one. To say both games were bot paradise is an understatement of the largest proportion.

In all the time I have played WoW I have only seen or rather confirmed 2 bots. In Lineage II in particular there were so many bots that you could not throw a rock without hitting one. I remember this one cave that had a quest I needed to complete. This one high level bot was running a route that I could not get around to complete the quest. To get around being flagged PvP they would hit you once and the bleed effect would kill you. There is nothing worse than watching your life slowly drain away and there is not a damn thing you can do. They will not get my money ever again.

well, there was the whole "Glider" era. I knew many people who Botted BGs for honor

You are right WoW had the Glider era but it just did not seem as prevalent. I am sure my skewed view of botting raised my threshold. There were a fair amount of AFK'ers in WoW BG's but I rarely ever saw a true bot that ran routes, killed mobs and looted them. Nothing obvious at least.

Forgive me if I'm stretching what you said into something else but are you implying that a dual-core wouldn't run Aion or Crysis or one of those other heavy 3D games?
