Central plot line is nice, quests are average but the quest system itself makes them less painful. I might be on my own but I was a bit disappointed with the flight - really was no need to time limit it and it felt sluggish after Champions Online's implementation. I decided to wait and see how the first few weeks went and then decide whether to buy or not. Two friends at work dove in and all I've heard is moaning about queue times - even off pre-order. 4 hour queues for pre-order?! That's the point of an early start isn't it? Now it's live the chaps leave work at 5 and get to play around 9/10. Another one with a dodgy line has yet to get in as he keeps dropping to the back of the queue. So sorry Aion, I had high hopes but I went and found myself an alternate cash sink hole - shame.
