Has anyone checked either out yet? I'm looking for a new mmo to play at work, am tired of sitting around in eve in my Titan and I can't play AH because of the peripherals. Any suggestions? Nothing older than a few months if not one of these two, been there :(

Can I "borrow" your account? :D Never wanted to sit around and do all that...
Think I'm going to have another look at NavyField. Turned it down once before, but...

Played the beta for both and didn't bother to keep playing after they launched. Aion looks pretty but that's the extent, it's very Asian centric, think Lineage II with the Crysis engine. Champions at first looked promising but it grew tiresome by the time you hit level 20, though the nemisis feature was pretty cool and the art style is also pretty neat but there's really nothing more beyond that.
They are definitely not the WoW killers some are claiming they are. The only reason why Aion has the numbers it does is their ROK player base and initial subscriptions in China due to WoW being yanked for a few months over there. Now that WoW is back in business in China, subscriptions have dropped quite a bit for Aion. Aion will initially do well in the West because it's new and looks nice but you'll see the numbers start to dwindle after about 6-9 months, especially after FFXIV launches next year.

I've played NavyField before. It was good for awhile, but from what I remember, it started getting worse. The last time I played it was when they forced you to start paying real money around level 30 or something like that.

Champions Online is good - its my first MMO since ultima online and I'm enjoying it, especially how theres almost no farming! The character creation is awesome and almost worth the cost - almost...but the problems imo lie in the lack of real explanation about crafting specialities at your initial choice.
Navyfield is an exercise in frustration...its fun fun fun if you like grind grind grind...and the worse part is when you think your getting somewhere, you still are blasted out of the water in seconds. The games great if you have a BB5, or BB6 because your only real threat is another BB5, or 6!! Even lower class BB's seem to keep thier magazines sitting on their decks, because a single salvo of blockshot will end your game.
And it wouldn't be so bad if sure - its based on real life and a BB5/6 should be able to kill all...if all the game was based so equally. I've broadsided a sub with 9x16 inch shells...and guess what the sub kept on trucking!
The real fun is only had in blitz games - at least the torp spam is kept to a minimum and at CL/CA levels everyone within reason is created equally

It's completely free now with the option to subscript for gold, ( more exp, better equipment. ) I'm level 38 atm and I've yet to pay for anything.

heh it really isn't all that except for +size. Once you get into one you are stuck in it at a pos. DDin is fun but really one button doesn't make up for the downtime.
EDIT: thanks again everyone for their input! Much appreciated!

That's why I lost the interest to sit around and work a few billion spreadsheets to get my own. :D

Plus big changes coming up in Dominion, it should be interesting. I am wondering how much single target damage the Titan will do. Out of curiosity what alliance are you in. Don't worry won't leave here. ;)
