Aion : all questing and no grind until level ...

[Moorea]

Contrary to popular FUD, there is no "grind" required to play Aion in my personal actual US release game play experience (as opposed to what people have read on some random blog that was talking about the CN or KR or beta releases maybe)

I will update this post as I level but for now I can tell you you can do

Level 1 to Level 25

with 2 players grouped, which means 1/2 the kill xp on each, ie much smaller xp from kills than solo players, without ever running out of quests

For that you need to :

1-11:
start and finish the ascension quest as soon as you hit 9 then come back and finish all the starter zone quests (which will bring you to 11 or so) before going to the next zone

11-21:
do the 18-20 group quests - it's an MMO - find a group

don't go to the 20+ hub zone before you're done with previous zone - you should easily be 21 before you leave the second zone (including back and forth with the city)

do the collection quests (or buy the items if you don't want to gather them)

do visit the quest hubs more than once; MANY quest open only after you finish some and have high enough level - also EXPLORE as some quest givers aren't right by the flight paths or town

21-25:
go to both zones that open up - you should end up with maxing out your quest log - got 29/30 quests without trying at 22/23...
