Aion only gets remembered because its basically the only time one of those brokethrough to the mainstream for a bit, so its dead horse will be beaten forever.
I think Lineage 1-2 did it first, and taught everyone to avoid Korean MMOs forever more. I dunno, maybe Lineage didn't have the reach I remembered wholst Aion actually hit it big.
I'll just forever remember it as the insulting consolation prize NCSoft gave out after killing Richard Garriot's last big boondoggle a few weeks post partum.
Aion was the first I remember hearing people talk about considerably. Probably helped by that being prime "WoW Killer" time for every MMO that came out.
