Aion almost at 1,000,000 players!
Well, first of all, I’m truly sorry missing your daily post yesterday, but I’ll make it up today.
First thing I do every day, is check my mail. And I keep doing that often, and my Firefox can confirm that, as it says I’ve vistited GMail over 2.712 times in the past 2 months… I’m a mail addict.
Today, I’ve gotten a mail from MMORPG.com, where it says that Aion is reaching the 1 million players milestone. First of all, congratulations! I’ve never known an MMORPG which such a big amount of players so shortly after launch!
I’ve been following Aion for a long time, though, from before even Dungeon Runners came out 2 years ago. I saw all the movies, I wanted to play it, but even though it has been out for a while, I haven’t played it. I was lucky enough, though, to obtain a beta key, but due problems with the gameclient (called something like nProtect GameGuard), which gave me all blocks in a error window. Haven’t tried it since.
I hate GameGuard, as it also was the reason why I couldn’t play TCoS on my Windows 7 (had to MANUALLY download a THIRD PARTY patch to get it BACK TO WORK). A shame.
But I truly wish Aion the best, as it looks like a great game, but I’ll stick with Guild Wars, no matter what. Well, at least until Guild Wars 2 is out, maybe I’ll play both of them at that point. But for now, I stay playing Guild Wars, because in all those years, I made a shitload of friends. And I ran out of space in my friend list months ago.
Maybe I’ll need to give my girlfriend a bit more attention…
