Here is a list along with a short summary of my best Aion blog posts for 2009.
Did Aion fool you into buying the game?
With open beta limited to level 30 I think NCSoft was trying to hide the real grind, and get players to buy the game.
9 ways Twitter makes Aion better
Twitter has become a huge social networking tool, but unfortunately players refuse to accept change.
Aion Grind Optimizer
The biggest question is always where do I go grind mobs now. This optimizer works really great at showing mobs health, xp given, and the xp/time ratios to optimize the best grind.
Bot or Not?
Bots were a big deal in the game. The problem was so many players just assumed people were bots since the grind is so monotonous.
3 Things Aion PvP needs
You add these three things, and pvp in Aion would be so much better.
Will rifts be dead in Aion in 6 months?
With everyone eventually reaching max level it will most likely make most rifts a waste of time.
Queueing system for the Auction House broker
With the personal store nerf they really needed to allow a way for players to utilize the auction house since it was limited to 10 items. The queuing system to put things in the auction house after other items sold would of been a great addition.

I guess I just would always run into a streak of bad luck when it came to inserting mana stones into my gear. The way they would fail, and destroy any manastones in the gear was stupid.
Why was I banned?
It is always great to read about players claiming they were banned for no reason. Why do players always want everyone to believe they are innocent.
Holy Captcha
Adding captcha to gathering skills was just a dumb idea. Everyone hates captcha.
Infatuation with character names
Why do some players feel they have to use the same character name no matter what game they are playing?
Dude where's my bags
Everyone needs more bag space.
Personal stores nerfed to 30 minutes
The nerf seriously ruined my ability to earn kinah as easily by not being able to put stacks of 200 in a store, and go to sleep for the night, and wake up with everything sold.
Things killing MMO's
Several things I think are killing MMO's, and sending them to an early grave.
Which is faster grinding or questing?
I don't know which came first the chicken or the egg?

This is the biggest viral post prior to Aion launching.
