I think they've changed its sound to something much less annoying. We also plan to try Fallen Earth...My husband's more excited about Star Trek online though, but I don't know if I'll like the gameplay for that one at all. Don't waste your time with Aion, it's no different than the rest. We played until level 10 then gave up. It felt like a grind, the quests were not interesting. I should provide a full review as I planned to. The best part about it was the character creation at the start. That was it. That lute WAS obnoxious!

The reason I left WoW was because I played it for too long and it became one long grind, but it really is a great game. One of the main reasons I never got into LOTR was because, as a perpetual healer, that lute was obnoxious. I like to play with sound effects on (but no music), and that lute about drove me crazy during my free trial. My next venture is Fallen Earth, if I can ever make myself shell out the money for it. It seems to combine all the aspects I love about MMOs into a really intriguing setting that doesn't feel overdone like WoW, LOTRO, and EQII often do.
