I know the majority of mmorpg fans in here are currently playing World of Warcraft, I myself played the game 2 years ago and grew quite disgusted of it and so i moved to another mmorpg which is Aion. After one year of playing this game, i've met 3 Lebanese (2 of them are real life friends) and shit loads of Arabs especially from Kuwait. So i was wondering if there is any additional Lebanese people currently playing this game?
I have a friend who used to play it. Apparently, it wasn't worth all the hype and especially not worth the $60.
To be honest, it depends. The problem with Aion is that the western branch of NCSoft is quite week and heavily controlled by the Korean main branch of the company and therefor many things are not directly tailored to the Western players. But, if you take the pvp system alone u'll find that its amazing and way better than WoW for example. For me, it was worth it to pay $60 and the monthly subscription for the past year and i was lucky to have landed on a very active server.
i got interested by your post , since im a WoW fan..so i just went to youtube and watched some gameplay videos of "Aion" wich is supposed to be a video game , how the hell is it even comparable to WoW ? interface sucks , graphics looks like im watching dragonballz on cartoon network , and gameplay simply sucks that interface bar down there has actually ... nothing like 4 buttons , people comments on it were really negative comparing to WoW , i can't see what's enjoyable in it ... anyways it's human taste , maybe other ppl have other points of view..
You're right that it's human taste, yet there are somethings that are given. A small advice though, never judge a game's graphics on youtube videos cz obviously they're low quality. If there is one thing that everyone agree on is that Aion has the best graphics in the world of mmorpg and it crushes WoW heavily in that domain. As for the interface, you need to know that the interface in Aion is flexible, you can change almost everything in it, you can even make ur interface look like WoW, so it's all up to you, and i'm sure the ones you saw in youtube weren't the best choices but they were suitable for the player. I am kinda confused about the 4 buttons comment, cause frankly i use shit loads of buttons in this game that it's kinda complicated. As for the gameplay, the PvP system in my opinion surpasses the one in WoW, it's complicated and it requires a lot of split second decisions and good reaction time. If you're still interested in watching the true version of Aion gameplay then i'll show you some videos that truly show the PvP system to its fullest.

P.S: There is nothing in WoW that surpasses the feeling of standing in the midst of 500 players preparing to raid a fortress that contains 500 other players from your opposing faction.
