2. It may be easier, but that doesn't mean it will be balanced correctly.

I'm not saying Aion is going to fail, I'm saying people should stop acting like Aion is going to be the biggest, greatest MMO ever. From what I've heard, it doesn't bring anything new to the table. It could be very successful, it could fail. We'll find out a few months after its release.
1. Actually, the amount of people hammering beta servers (and people playing on Chinese Aion between beta events), the speed of Collector's Editions going out as well as normal editions... It might be very successful.

2. They are already balanced in 1.5. And if someone from the beta says they aren't, he's an idiot, because beta is still in 1.0 and doesn't have maaany updates (like the one allowing Spiritmasters to pwn people as well as Sorcerers can).

Why shouldn't they act this way? Aion is the second biggest P2P MMO in Asia, right behind WoW (5-6mln). Sure it doesn't bring much new to the table (except for extremely good aerial combat, westernised grind with quests and great graphics without killing 2-years old PCs), but what did WoW bring new? Nothing. It copy-pasted ideas from other games and slapped a "Warcraft" banner on them.

Hmm, not sure. I thought average was a Pentium 4 Processor. Anyhow, I still thought that I heard it has high requirements, at least graphics wise.

Nope. Assassin's Creed in April 2008 already required Dual Core or Core 2 Duo.

Even I think it's too fast, but yeah, most of the people have dual-core, either AMD or Intel.

On the rig I've posted earlier I get to enjoy the graphics. And even I think it's a weak PC.
