Aion The Tower Of Eternity.

[D-G]

Okay well, judging by my very old thread of WoW and the most replies, views i've ever seen on this section of the forums, we all like MMO's =]

Although WoW is boring as hell to me now, as it would be after over 2 years of non stop playing it, i am moving on! =D

Anyway moving on, Aion by NCsoft, a Korean company, creators of Lineage and Guild Wars.

This game is extremely graphical and uses the engine from Far Cry to run, so heres a preview:

Game play, no interface. Also trailer.

PvP video, interface etc. *BETA*

This game is showing some very promising features!

Heres some basics, for the time being... names are subject to change before the final release end of year.

Like WoW this game is split up between 2 playable races and 1 NPC race.

Chun / The Chosen: Angels <--- These get wings.

Ma / The Fallen: Demons <--- These dont.

Yong / Dragons: The way these babies work is, say there is 5 Chosen ganging up on 1 Fallen, from what i have gathered, these Dragons are Hostile and enemies of both Races, HOWEVER, if the above scenario is to happen, the Dragons will come and help the 1 Fallen person.

There is still a lot of things they have not told the public seeing as its a year away from completion, there is a Beta in Korea at the moment, it might of ended im not sure.

Anyways you wont be losing xp, money etc if you get killed in PvP, or so they have stated, and the game wont be a massive rep grind like WoW was.

In conclusion WoW = Bad

Aion = Good

i believe dragons are peace keepers, so as you said if one side is ganging up on the other and the numbers are unfair, dragons will help the lesser.

i dont play MMORPG's mainly because there poo. but this one looks pretty interesting. its also not american which makes it better as they cant make RPG's i might have to give this a whirl when i get a new PC.

P.S. sif not be a chosen? wings FTW

lol, when i see the rest of the classes im gonna decide chosen or fallen, wings are a big plus, but fallen will have to get something to improvise, whatever that may be im sure it will be cool.

Koreans love their games and having them design a MMO will be awesome ^^

My specs are good enough to run this game me thinks, so dont stress about it to much.

lets hope they keep the guild wars way of online play i.e. not having to pay to play online, thats why i hate MMORPG's because youve gotta continue to pay even after buying the game
