@Anea – You are not boring! There is nothing wrong with loving one game. I’m just… polygamerous The character creation is pretty fun for DA, but I still think the Aion character creation is more fun. I could spend hours creating/tweaking characters! If you do think there’s any possibility you might try playing DA later, I think you might enjoy the story of it. I already know that once I finish it, I’ll be replaying to see alternate endings.

Lus has branched out to DA: O actually – and he likes it well enough, I guess. I think the character creation bit looks very fun but I’ve not been tempted to try it myself. But who knows what may happen later?

Also, couldn’t play Aion most of the time because of rubberbanding, was too frustrating to enjoy my playtime when that started up.

@Jaedia – I’m hoping I won’t have to hunt too hard for missing quests, but I know as I get closer to the goal they’ll be harder to find. I do have several that are leading to Eastern Kingdoms, so I’m glad to hear some of those will count towards Kalimdor.

I haven’t had a lot of lag issues in Aion (other than at the beginning) but sometimes we experience some ping spikes. Oddly enough, Sideshow seems to have more issues with that than I do.

I’m loving Sims 3, so if you liked the past Sims games, I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s really nice not having to play everyone in the neighborhood to keep the ages the same! Brutal Legend (the Jack Black one) looks awesome too. We have it, Side’s been playing it but I haven’t yet. And Fable 2 – omg I loved that game. I played it pretty exclusively until I finished it. Hopefully Dan didn’t spoil the ending for you though! (It was sooo hard for me not to spoil it for Side since I finished it first).

@Miss Medicina – I don’t believe there is an Aion trial at this time. My “trial” was open beta, but I hope they offer one soon so people can check it out before committing to purchasing it. Dragon Age has a downloadable demo through Steam, I believe. (That’s what Side tells me at least) I would HIGHLY recommend trying it!

@Nanuki – It’s not always easy balancing multiple games, but I’ve done it for years. Of course, I do have stretches of playing 1 game exclusively, but I like to bounce around a bit… helps me keep things fresh and interesting. Also helps me from burning completely out on games (particularly WoW).

@Tami – Dragon Age is very captivating, especially right now. I know what you mean about Aion having more staying power (as well as WoW and other games for me) mostly because of my love of a social aspect with gaming. After getting into WoW, it’s been hard for me to stay content with single player games for too long because I get to a point where I miss little things like guild chat.

@Sprink – Oh no! You should have asked someone to soulstone you first Revisiting/replaying games can be great for breaks too, definitely. I still return to Harvest Moon (in its various forms) here and there. I had actually taken a small break from WoW to return to Sims 2 before Sims 3 came out… had to reinstall and everything. And sometimes I get the desire to reinstall The Movies to putz around with that too!

Why? Is it because I dislike the game? Fell out of love with the characters?

Nope.

It’s Dragon Age.

The hubby and I have spent most of the past weekend curled up on the couch with that game. Very fun, very addicting.

I think Aion has more staying power, in the long run, but I’m enjoying DA, for sure.

Whatever, I wish you all the best with your different characters

I wish I could go back to Aion, Jaedii my Spiritmaster was closing in on 30 and it was so fun, just couldn’t stand the lag, the spammers and the “lovely” community. Hopefully all 3 of those won’t be a worry in a few months time.

LOTRO is my other MMO love, tried it for a couple of weeks and loved it. The game play was decent, it was pretty, things were pretty stable, I had a nice guild, nice community. If I ever quit WoW, this will probably be my new game.

Sims 3 and Dragon Origins aand ah I forgot the name, the game Jack Black voiced, I really want to try! I haven’t played the Sims in years and I’m starting to miss it with my recent addiction to Facebook games. The other 2 just sound too awesome to miss, mind you, I never did finish Fable 2, though Dan did which put me off a little..

I have stopped playing Aion however. Which is too bad, as the game has such potential.
