I don't know too much about how beta tests and MMO previews are supposed to go, but it's probably not like this.
Aion Online, the next big MMO to be such a huge deal since World of Warcraft, has been allowing certain users to preview the game. But they forgot to factor in just how many people were going to be there. There are so many people trying to get on that some actually have to wait for hours at a time, in a virtual line, to get onto the servers. The US servers might have been bad, but the European servers that recently opened are even worse. In the US there was an estimated wait time provided by the opening screen...in Europe, it was so overcrowded that they couldn't even do that. There was no room in the LINE ITSELF!
I was wondering just how big this Aion thing was going to be, but I never expected it to be this huge of a deal. I wonder if Aion's going to steal any WOW players? The servers are now being split into a number of different servers, which will hopefully help the overcrowding a little. Is this a sign at how crowded the actual game going to be? I'm not so sure. And I have heard of people camping out in front of stores to wait for the release of new gaming systems and games.
Is Aion the next WOW? Have you ever waited in line (virtual or real) to get at a game you really wanted?

That's insane! I knew it was going to attract people (since it's new) but I had no idea it would be this bad.
I haven't had that issue in a while ^^
I waited in line at midnight for Smash Bros Brawl.
From what I've heard, it's bigger than WoW.
its bs really
Aion=World of Wingcraft, in my opinion.
Hmm my friend was part of the beta and he disagrees with the entire Aion = WoW thing..
Well I looked at the pictures for the game and they aren't too bad. The game doesn't look like a kids cartoon, personally it looks more like Guild Wars married FFXI Online. The authentic MMO thing is still not close, it's more anime like and less Ultima like (WoW was definately not Ultima esque). I think we need a fantasy MMO that sticks to the classic style (a 3D graphic granduer version of old Ultima), it keeps that old fantasy novel spirit (Lord of the Rings, Song of Ice and Fire, Shannara and Sword of Truth)... Very few MMOs nowadays care to do that and don't even start with Runescape bullcrap. LOTRO was a step back to the classic direction, Star Wars The Old Republic is daring to revive that old MMO spirit from long ago. But Aion is at least getting rid (subscription base demographic wise) of that cartoonish overloaded pile of kiddy bolony excuse for MMORPG called World of Warcraft (even Warhammer and Conan couldn't dethrone its superior numbers).
WoW is guilty of the same thing. when i tried the 10-day trials and tried logging on a night, there was a 2 hour wait to get in. i mean of course that depends on what server youre trying to get into, but still.
whats weird is that beta tests are always made so that a limited number of people participated. perhaps the company that made AION dropped the ball on this one.
oh gawd
Whoah, good thing I didn't try and demo this one. I don't have the patience!
