Let me first start by saying the game has amazing mechanics and great area designs, but NCsoft has lost my money.
In all MMO games there is one fundamental requirement for the game to be successful and that is the watchful eye of the GM's 24/7/365. This gives players a warm feeling of being able to report spammers and GM's will kick that account. It also strikes fear into those who's mentality shrinks to the age of 10 as soon as they login. In saying that NCsoft launched Aion knowing full well that they didn't have enough GM staff to handle 24 hour operations. I figured it was just a glitch and said well give them a week. A week went by, the chats degraded to the point of 6 year old kids yelling at each other (I would post examples, but I don't want the banhammer) and still I saw the same message "Petitions can not be created between 0200-1300".
One good note is the developers did add the ability to block via the right click menu and that did cut down on the spam from RMT's, but sadly if I was to block everyone who lost IQ points, well it would be really quiet in the game.
New MMO's always have "bleh" launches, but this one was incredibly sour. It was more sour than the FFXI launch when all the american players started screaming at Japanese players because they thought XI was their game and "we" let Japan join. I am back in SWG and checking out this new Chronicler System (which reminds me of CoH/V architect system). I am also working on getting my ace pilot status back so I can fly my Nova Courier :)
Best of luck to everyone in Aion and Israphel. Turn this pretty little white wings red with the blood of the Elyos. Blood for Blood...

P.S.
If anyone wants to look me up in SWG take a look at my sig for character names, locations, and server.
