I didnt say that, actually, but yes. It's easier to find core friends amongst 10,000 then 10,000,000. Plus it'll be the one's who reject the "fashionable" MMO for one they like despite the critics, who I'll game with. What I can't figure out is why you care so much about my befriending algorithm.

Beta won't actually be any indication, as cramming the entire player base into a couple of zones, as in this beta or first couple months of any MMO launch, will have this effect. Once the WoW fanboys don't renew their sub and go back to WoW, is when we'll see how the game is gona end up. I'm hopeful despite any nay-sayer.

Every once in a while a game comes along that gets my heart racing. Last game: Age of Conan... what a let down... Now Aion, I'm hopefull for this game even more because I was a huge Lineage 2 fan. Games like WoW don't appeal to me (only) because of their fanbase, fortunately there stuck in WoW. Hopefully Aion's community will be full of winners *crossfinger*. Plus for some reason endurance mob-grinding is fun for me.

Aion Shaping Up For US Launch 212

One of the most promising MMORPGs in development these days is NCSoft's Aion, a fantasy-based offering built on CryEngine. It makes heavy use of flight as a gameplay mechanic, allowing aerial combat and easy travel around the visually stunning game world. There are four basic classes — Warrior, Priest, Mage, and Scout — each of which have two subclasses. For example, Warriors can be tank-like Templars, or berserker-like Gladiators, while Mages can turn into a scholarly Sorcerer or command the elements as a Spiritmaster. Early previews of Aion almost universally comment on how polished the game seems — this is partly due to the fact that it has been up and running since November in South Korea. "Being stable, scalable, reliable and fuss-free is far from a given in MMOs, but Aion is all those things, and can already stand alongside the genre's usability kings, EVE Online and World of Warcraft. Its expansive, zone-free open-world environments look terrific and run smoothly on a wide variety of systems. It just works." Since the game is already in a relatively complete state, NCSoft has been running closed beta "events," where a portion of the game is opened for testing. MMOGamer has a write-up from the latest such event. Aion is due out in September.
