Ride that fan rage s'more, but that's not the angle I'm speaking from.
By all means, show me another MMO that effectively purged, quite willingly, a significant portion of their playerbase with software updates towards a graphic engine. Redress it as some dining metaphor if you want, but it just doesn't happen. There's no logic in spending money just to lose it.
But I'll rebuke your claims of white knighting. Why are you so quick to find a reason to rag on the game and its developers? Just cancel the subscription and move on.
Actually you do seem to have a bad case of the Fan Rage. Every time I see some one in the FFXI forum or what now seems to be this one as well talk badly about Aion, you're there to take up arms. Y'know, some people just might not like it, and they just might not want to always hear a defense. Not that something long and drawn out or what not doesn't deserve it, but just on off topic threads or what have you, anytime some one speaks ill of Aion you're there to rebuttal it. You also couldn't seem to let my silly little thread giving my opinion on the game lay to rest for a long time either. But hey, that's just my opinion.
I also never said another MMORPG has done it before, in fact I'm pretty sure they haven't. I was saying however if they WERE to do that, it would be a huge mistake on their part, and NCsoft has shown before they are plenty capable of huge mistakes (I'm lookin at you Tabula Rasa). Do I think that will be the case? Honestly, no I don't. But is it impossible with them? No.
Also, I use my "dining metaphors" for people who lack reading comprehension, some of which just seem to enjoy an argument and can't understand the simpilcity of my statements, even with metaphors included.
