Aion: Post Launch Impressions
Aionic Thoughts: Gold Spammers, Customer Service and Bots...
I'm seeing more bots too- lame named melee characters often going through robotic type moves killing things. Not good.

Here's a jaded post over at Aion Roleplayers:
The New Car Smell Is Gone.
We need a breakthrough in the MMO scene before that changes I fear.
And for comedy relief:
What do a treadmill, bike tire, and Wiimote have in common?
It has been about a few weeks since the NA launch of Aion, so I wanted to take some time to update my impressions. In these first few weeks I have been exposed to a variety of gameplay experiences in the game, so I am going to talk about a few aspects of the game that have struck me as either being well done, or needing improvement.

The last thing that is annoying me are the bots. So far it has not been too big a problem. I see one every so often and sometimes I will see a group of them working together. However, this has to be stopped. Like now. Bots destroy the economy, add to the queue times and cause problems in the community. Get rid of them. Ban the ones who are reported and do it quickly. Give us updates to how many you ban. Make a spectacle of it.

The community has been crying out for it, and yesterday it happened, the banhammer fell axing a ton of accounts. The forums are abuzz with reports on bots that are no longer seen or some bots that were missed. There are even some people claiming to have been wrongly accused.

The New Car Smell Is Gone.
See, I'm one who likes to look for really deep and meaningful gameplay in my MMO's. The last time I had that, it was in Star Wars Galaxies where the game itself was practically one big, fat massive sandbox. It was truly a meaningful experience for me because of the depth of social interaction you had with fellow players. You almost literally knew everyone. I mean, as a mechanic. SWG encouraged social interaction. On so many levels.
Here in Aion, we don't have that. At all.
