    as with any business there can be several factors that can explain but reporters just go for the one big line.

     

    A company's image can drag them down.

    Take Tabula rasa for example. I was so dissapointed in that game that I will likely not try Aion unless it's F2P or hits 1 mil subs.

    And lets face it L2 isn't going very strong. CoH/CoV is aging.

    With all the money they are spending on Aion/STO........If Aion tanks we can pertty much rest assured that STO will tank as well due to lack of funding.

    
     

    "I will likely not try Aion unless it's F2P or hits 1 mil subs"

    What in the world does it matter if it has 1 mil subs or not? You jump on many bandwagons? Since you base how much you like a game by the number of subs it has, I pity you.  Personally I hope it doesnt get to be the size of WOW or even close to it just for the simple fact that I dont want to have to put up with a WoW type community.

    If you looked at any new info on Aion you would see that its doing very good in open beta. last stats I saw they were adding severs due to the unexpected influx of people. Around 150k and the majority of that is in korea alone. I have been trying to see if I can find anything majorly wrong with Aion I have not ran across any info that there is any game breaking bugs. Just think It still has 4 months of so to get all the little launch bugs out of the way before they launch it here in NA/EU countries. IMO no MMO should ever launch first in the US or EU countries, just because the majority of the MMO community here crys to much about launch bugs. These kids think that an MMO should launch to compete with WoW right off the bat, thats not reality. WoW has been out for a long time. You have to grow with a new MMO. But things like AoC went to far.

     

    If a game only has 150k beta testers in open beta IN KOREA then it's in trouble lol.  Aion is a pretty shallow game that tries to rise above the fold with shiney graphics and FLYING, ooooo.  It doesn't really offer more than many f2p games out there so I don't think it will ever be a big hit like Lineage 1 or 2. 

       Name recognition means alot, as long as the game follow in the steps of its predecessors.  That is why Lineage 2 was a huge hit, and why EQ 2 wasn't (it did pretty well though still).  If Richard Garriot made a UO  type of game it would have been huge. Instead he made a generic sci fi game that was highly instanced and offered nothing to the old skewl uo pvp crowd. 

       Aionis eye candy and nothing more, I expect it will be the final nail in the coffin for NCSoft.

  •   They were already a Blizzard type company with their Lineage franchise. Aion is probably going to drag them underwater and drown them :P
