Re: Is Aion worth it? Well consider what the purpose of game guard is.
You buy this game and pay a monthly subscription. Wouldn't you want some assurance that cheating is being thwarted?

| The anticheat should be at the server end, not at the client end. Thats just my thought on the matter though. That is how WoW and other mmorpgs do it.
I agree JukeBox, I have seen Lineage 2. I just don't know if this game is for me. I hate to invest $50 into a game I won't play very much. Especially with Champions Online getting some of my time here in the next week or so.
So far the reviews are excellent from fanboys. Poor from people who hate the game. So which is it? I could assume somewhere in between.

There is still debate over Warden, the process that runs on your PC when your run WoW which monitors the active processes you have running to make sure you aren't cheating. Many still consider it spyware, but you agree to let it run on your machine when you agree to WoW's ToS.

Yeah...but the problem is, hackers and even people who are having problems with getting GameGuard to actually play nice with their PCs (which is a LOT of people) can easily bypass GameGuard in less than 5 minutes and still play the game. Just google GameGuard Bypass. It's not hard, and nobody has been banned from doing it yet (to my knowledge, but in most of the forums I lurk in that deal with AION (some shady ones in there), there's not been a single report of it so far).
Other than GameGuard being a complete waste of time dealing with (doesn't play nice with most AV / Firewall / Anti-Malware programs, and installs like a rootkit), AION is indeed a fun game to play.
