I loved AOC. Had 2 lvl 80 toons on 2 accounts, and even though the sieging was really buggy at the time I left, I only left because my guild moved. I would have stayed and continued to really enjoy its game play. And now that it has been updated many times I will definately give it another go. Right now in fact. As for Aion - I played it one week, was utterly bored with it and didnt enjoy it one bit. It was a mad rush to level up, so much so I would be constantly lost because I was only focused on the icon for where the next quest was, and not in taking in the surroundings. The only cool bit was the wings and flying, but even that wasnt a patch on the dragon flight of Dark and Light. The horrendous queues to get in game (4 hrs every day) quickly lead me to quit that game, and MMO's in total for several months. But as I troll the MMO's sites in search of a new MMO - I see people raving about AOC once more. So in the words of Arnie 'I'll be back' Well. I loved AOC.

But what's bothering me now is whether to re-subscribe with AOC or wait for the Aion which I think is a much better MMORPG, it's actually produced by NCSoft known for Lineage and Lineage 2.

All the different areas are accessed via fast travel from various hubs and you get no sense of travelling or how all the areas fit together (especially as they are all different in look and feel, e.g. the jungle area, the desert area, etc.). It's what sucked me in to LotRO the most - that there's a natural progression between the areas. And you can travel from Thorin's Hall to Lorien with less than a handful of very quick loading screens along the way.

Still having too much fun with dfo though. This short remembrance of AoC almost piques my curiosity to try it again. Still having too much fun with dfo though.
