Losing to the cult of Farmville must hurt. A lot.

Hardcore Daevas barely contained their outrage when NCSoft lost to Zynga, makers of browser-based hits like Farmville, in the Escapist’s 2010 March Mayhem. Zynga garnered 55% of the votes via Facebook and Twitter, so Aion players blamed NCSoft for being too slow in gathering support.

To be fair, it could also mean a small number of Aion players visit the NCSoft website for announcements. Because aside from the occasional community news and the recent Patch 1.9 Korean PTR notes, there’s been little reported on actual game developments.

Number one on my wish list are translated versions of the diagrams in the Patch 1.9 Korean PTR notes. Seeing those stills in English-readable text will make my Patch 1.9 wait more bearable. Anyone else pumped up by the UI changes?
