Aion Launches, Has Server Queues

Aion has launched in North America. No, I am not playing and have no plans of playing.

Aion has really long server queues. Anyone that believed that a new, AAA MMOG could launch in this day and age without server queues is ignorant, blind, or just a flat-out newb.

Enjoy waiting in line.

  1. WoW and WAR are the last two mmo's that I can think of that had server ques, so I don't totally agree with you. But, with the popularity of the open beta and with the server issues, it should not have been a surprise to see a que, just not that long.

    Guess I am lucky living on the west coast and picked a west coast server I have yet to have a que. That might change after tomorrow.

  2. No queues all day today! Also no lag, 35fps min with most settings 90% of max and 2x AA with a ATi radeon mobility 4850, crafting 2nd best to EQ2, and the potential for an incredible endgame PvP experience.

    I have no doubt the haters (you and Syncaine) will be joining us when the initial bias wears off.

    I have not hated too much on Aion (if at all outside of this post).

    I just don't have the time (new baby) to play a subscription MMO.

    Aion looks good IMHO and as I've stated before is the ! of the Diku-inspired MMO.
