Aion's got some fairly nice ideas.. but the game after around level 25 is pretty much Welcome To Korea. And, of course, the Punkbuster analog strapped onto
it is the kind of thing that gives me more gray hairs.
While people will say 'Oh, you can just stay out of the Abyss until max level if you don't want PvP.' the reality is more like this:
If you don't go to the Abyss you will grind much, much, much longer. Abyss mobs have less HP, give more XP and cash, give Abyss Points for high end stuff
and drop endgame crafting materials. The quests start to peter out around 25 or so, leaving you with nothing but grind grind grind to look forward to.
Between the rootkit and the grindfest? No thanks. Really. No thanks.
