I am not sure this game will make you miserable. Speaking from a person who actually delved into the game months ago as something to kill an hour or two a day, the game is fun. The improvements that were handed down from Korea with 1.5 are a HUGE step forward for the game in general.
It is a HUGE grind. Going from level 1-10 takes an hour or two, 10-20 takes hours, if not a day depending on your level of enthusiasm. Levels 20-30 are where quests slow down a bit and the real grind begins. There are complete levels without many new quests where NCSoft basically says "go grind now".
This is nothing new to you though as XI was a huge grind. The beauty of Aion though is that at least through 30 it doesnt feel all that grindy. You feel stronger every level (unless you are a SM where your pets dont scale completely to the new rank of the pet).
PvP is meaningful and is compartmentalized in such a way that you arent gonna feel like you are having nightmares of Southshore circa 2005. Even in the Abyss, you can go for quite sometime without being hassled or camped. Not to mention the new "anti rampage" mechanics and buff/debuff system they added.
I wish the EU servers and NA servers were tied to one another. Would be nice to play a little.
