Its graphics are good, but I would not say they are the best

It is predominantly PVP, you'd really have to try it for yourself to make the determination as to whether or not it is "good", I like it just fine.

F2P starts April 11th (at least officially), so there is no gap right now.

There are level 55 players, it is not impossible. It isn't going to happen overnight.

More or less balanced

Not compared to other games, but it is very relative...

Yes, yes, yes. Basically, good gear which is enchanted combined with skill and knowledge of the game. A good Internet connection and computer never hurt either.


Download the trial and see for yourself... you can't experience the game vicariously.

I'm full on hardcore everything I do, so I wouldn't really know if it is "noob friendly". From what I've heard about DCUO it was a low curve MMO with basically trivial endgame content. If that's the case and it was too much for you, then I don't think you have much of a chance. No disrespect, but your apparent lack of attention and willingness to look up what is seemingly easy-to-find information leads me to believe you probably won't do well in Aion.

I have not studied the demographics of each server, and there are 3rd party servers. If you want to know about the game itself-- how "hard" it is, or noob-friendly, or those kinds of opinion questions... play it. If you want to know where other Egyptians play, then you should ask Egyptians ;)

what i meant about DCUO is that it doesnt offer much information to new newbies...i did try to look up but as u said it has a trivial end game content.....it just simply didnt hook much of my attention ( dcuo i mean ) so i wonder if aion will attract me or not.. idid like dcuo at 1st but it just kept getting too similar...all quests are the same..kill this do that kill the boss...

Maybe just nevermind... if you can't even handle installing the game then surely you won't be able to deal with the soon-to-be 60 levels ahead of you. Just give up now. :rolleyes:

-I'd tell you Aion is not very noob friendly. You need to learn how it works.
-You can't judge Aion unless you level up to at least 30.
-If you like to "learn stuff", Aion is fantastic.
-Aion has too many stuff to play with (besides doing quest and pvp)
-WHen you reach the top level, your not done, your just starting, there's a lot of other stuff you can do when your're lvl 55/60
