I would like to first say that this game is amazing. It completely destroys any competition in both gameplay and graphics. Everything is so smooth, especially the flight system. Firstly I would like to explain the game a little bit. There are two races which are available for play, The Asmodians the Elyos. After a battle that separated the planet in two, the Asmodians have lived without sunlight and had to fight to survive. The pampered Elysians, however have lived a mostly peaceful life under the warmth of the sun. There is, however, a third race. Initially created to protect the planet, the Balaur have evolved, and began to attack both races. You must pick your side, and fight against your rivals, and the balaur. There are 4 main classes you can pick. They are Warrior, Mage, Priest, and Scout. Each of these branches off into two sub classes. Warriors of level 10 must choose either Templar, or Gladiator, Mages of level 10 must choose Sorcerer, or Spirit Master. Priests of level 10 must choose either Chanter, or Cleric. Scouts of level 10 must choose between Ranger, and Assassin.  Server Select Screen.  Character Select Screen.  Race Select Screen.  Elyos Class Select  Asmodian Class Select     Character Creation, First 3 are Elyos Last one is Asmodian.           My Elyos Chanter  Asmodian Cleric If you can afford this game, I would definitely recommend buying it. It is amazing. --------------------  R.I.P. Lucy ! | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Really unfortunate that they are charging $15 USD per month. I doubt I will fork out money like that, but I have no clue what will happen. Looks extremely good though. --------------------      | ||||||||

if it wasn't $15 a month the game would probably be trash in a few months. Wow would be nothing if they didn't get the $15 a month charge, not to mention....i pay for wow w/ $15 in change from what i spend, get a job or something rofl...15 dollars is nothing. -------------------- | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | All I used to play is PC games, but I've switched to console gaming exclusively for the past year almost, so really haven't heard of Aion until the beta hype got started around the interwebs. But I suppose it's looking to be this years WAR/AoC in terms of hype, amirite? So yeah, I've done some research on it over the past two days. It does look potentially good just from an outsiders view, and obviously there's also some pretty positive things coming out from the beta players mouths. The graphics aren't all that impressive to me when compared to previous mmos I've played like WAR, AoC, LotRO, GW, etc. Lots of flat/blurred textures. Typically I'm not a huge graphic whore though, so as long as the gameplay is fun enough, I'm perfectly fine. The concept of the Abyss is really attractive to me, although the so-called "PvPvE" tagline seems more like a gimmicky sales tag than an actual feature. I remember similar PvP/PvE features melded together in other games, and it never really amounts to anything all that special. The idea of the "ascension" quest immediately reminded me of Guild Wars, but the idea that you earn your wings for ascending is really appealing. The time limits on flying is a put-off, but understandable and important to the game's structure. One of the things I've read about that I love most, as small and negligible as it may be to some, is the idea that you can apply stats of certain armor to a different armor so that you can keep the armor you like, or mix-n-match different kinds. It's a feature I've been thinking of and wishing was applied in mmos for a long time, and I'm glad that Aion decided to finally use the idea. It creates a lot more flexibility with aesthetic looks, and also diversifies the looks of the player base, since not everyone will necessarily have the same looking high-end armor like in other games. Whew. So yeah, talking about it is fine and dandy, but I want to finally get my hands on the thing after this whole two days I've been sitting on the hype train for the game  . So until they officially announce the date of their open beta, I'll be watching more vids, reading more previews, and working on pronounciating the name "Aion" properly :S . --------------------  | ||||||||

I actually do have a job. I just don't feel like paying $15 USD for a game per month. They have made it thus far with what they have, so they are just setting the price high expecting to make big bucks. -------------------- | ||||||||

4 classes that diverge into 8, you start out at level 1 as 1 of 4 classes, at level 10 you choose what you want to be, there are 2 classes per 1 starting class making 8 classes..... O, and wow blows now so lol@u, not to mention the level grind is actually fun in aion and there is a huge pvp focus, but you don't like pvp jm, so dw, not your game anyways....wow is dieing, this will prob be the last real expansion unless Blizzard does something awesome, because atm, it kinda sucks and is boring. -------------------- | ||||||||
