I really wonder how I managed to not notice this thread for so long.
OT: I actually solo quite a bit, provided that the island I'm on isn't controlled by the opposite faction at the time. I've spent some time setting up combat and enemy logs, which is a great help. The downside to that is that I grow a bit lax and stop rotating my minimap field of view, which is a bad thing since not all classes have to precast buffs before they move in for the kill and I can't depend entirely on the combat logs.
Not a fan of fort sieges because of the lag, but it's fun to grab some guildies and go roaming looking for people to pick off.

Yeah, I've heard some folks have trouble with crashes during fort sieges actually.
I set my combat logs to mark all enemy player attacks nearby in eye-melting scarlet, haha. The fields are fairly large, and while it doesn't always work, it's fairly reliable. (And yeah, I don't solo in the Abyss mainly because I'm fairly low level
and this is my first PvPvE MMO so I'm still learning the ropes and such. I'm kind of a chicken about PvP still...)
So far, though, I'm enjoying the community as a whole. Most folks are pretty laid-back, even in PvP - we've been organizing bot raids when we rift over into Elysea, posting warnings on the official forums and a heads-up to players in the area, and the Elyos have done the same for us. X3
It's not perfect, of course. Aion does have its share of jerks and scrubs (last night there was a group of three lvl 35 Elyos hanging around the Fortress of Spirits entrance in Morheim and griefing any lowbies who got close until a few higher-level Asmos killed them enough times that they decided to get their jollies somewhere else. =_= I'm fine with PvP given there's no real penalty for losing to a player, but ganking solo questers 10 levels below your group takes no skill and doesn't even give you much AP anyway), but you'll get that anywhere you go, I imagine.
