Being confined to one server where you're stuck with the same idiots every day kinda sucks. -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=- W I N N I N G | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Mike|Sonix Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1483 Member No.: 13 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 103 | The more I read about this game the more badass it sounds. I looked at all the classes/subclasses, just about every one of them can be compared to a class in WoW. I'm not saying they are stealing anything, because these classes are pretty basic in most MMOs Gladiator (Aion) = Warrior (WoW) Templar (Aion) = Paladin (WoW) Cleric (Aion) = Holy Priest (WoW) Chanter (Aion) = Shaman (WoW) Assassin (Aion) = Rogue (WoW) Ranger (Aion) = Hunter (WoW) Sorcerer (Aion) = Mage (WoW) Spiritmaster (Aion) = Warlock (WoW) Just a quick reference. Those that play WoW might want to pick a class similar in Aion, or you could just try something completely new. Personally I would probably pick Spiritmaster or possibly Gladiator.. If there is an open beta I can't wait to try it! --------------------   | ||||||

But yea, it looks awesome, I personally can't wait to play a sorcerer......If i don't play aion I am going back to CSS..... btw, sonix wtf happened to CAL....is ESEA the only online competition other than Cevo now? -------------------- | ||||||

Inb4hijacked Eco is also out there, but I think CEVO + ESEA are the top leagues atm. I only play with friends occasionally, not on a team. -------------------- | ||||||

Basically it's like having 10 servers to choose from at any given time. To Kiwi, the spirit masters summons not being able to fly has supposedly been fixed. -------------------- R.I.P.

 IRC Nickname: Wayne|Eregion2 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3087 Member No.: 156 Joined: January 25, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8 | Is there cleric lightly or more heavily armored? I liked my cleric in D&DO, he could thwack the shit out of stuff; WoW healers die when they stub a toe. --------------------  | ||||||

Correction: Priest healers die when they stub a toe. And maybe druids. I'd suspect clerics to be weak, whereas a templar (if they can indeed heal well, it looks like they can) would be a little tougher. -------------------- | ||||||

don't think templars can heal, they are tanks, nothing else i do belive.....o, and clerics wear mail, so they can take a beating probably. -------------------- | ||||||

Templars can only heal themselves bro... Clerics can, however, wear up to chain level armor as can Chanters. -------------------- R.I.P. Lucy ! | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | Just an update, the "open" beta will be starting on September 6th and ending on the 13th. I use the term "open" in quotations though, because you'll still need to find a key through sites like Fileplanet, Massively, MMORPG, etc. You can also get in by preordering the game as well. But yeah, if you don't want to preorder, start looking out for keys as they start popping up this week around the net. --------------------  | ||||||

Fileplanet is giving them away on the 1st, I think. My download finished today, gonna install it and get it ready. Can't wait tbh, even though its still another week  .So I watched the intro video. First, I figured out that its pronounced "Ion." Second, the short version of the lore that they gave in the intro sounded pretty cool. But I'm not one to pay attention to MMORPG lore, so I'll probably avoid it. I'm more into single-player game lore (Final Fantasy or Golden Sun for example). -------------------- | ||||||

You say that, but in all honesty I don't think I enjoyed WoW anymore now that I understand the lore a bit better than before when I was clueless. The lore isn't essential to enjoying the game in most MMORPGs. However in single player games, it usually is. To each his own, I guess. -------------------- | ||||||

I was wrong. You NEED to be a fileplanet subscriber which begins at $7 a month. I might just become one for a single month so I can get my key.. -------------------- | ||||||

$5 at gamestop/ebgames... -------------------- R.I.P. Lucy ! | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | Yeah, I'd just go the preorder route then. Only $5, and along with a beta code you'll also get access to the character name and server pre-select on the 18th, a couple exclusive stat-boosting items, and a 2-day head start into the game on the 20th before it releases in stores on the 22nd. Like I said though, you can also try your luck getting keys from other websites, as Fileplanet isn't the only site that distributes keys. There are lots of other gaming/mmo related sites that always have these beta key giveaways and distributions. I'd recommend the preorder though. The extra goodies and perks that come with it are well worth it  .And by the way Ranma, and anyone else planning on giving Aion a shot, we should decide on a server to use once preselect comes around, that way we can play together for once, and on something besides Runescape. I've played many, many mmos, and honestly I have a rough time meeting the kind of people I've met in WG in other games. And yes, that's a compliment. -------------------- | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Mike|Sonix Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1483 Member No.: 13 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 103 | I coughed up the $7 for fileplanet. I was a little scared because it was over 12 hours (EST) into Tuesday and still nothing about the beta, I thought I missed the keys or something. But it came up at about 3 PM and I signed up. Can't wait to play this game. If I enjoy the beta I'll probably pre-order it so I can get all those pre-order perks. -------------------- | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Ranma344 Group: Emeritus Posts: 759 Member No.: 78 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 24 | For anyone planning on playing, I will be playing Elyos on the server named Siel. My name will most likely be Ranko. Also, if you find you like the game, you can do a digital collectors edition upgrade for only $10 on the playNC website. Edit: Siel is a confirmed server and the one I played on in the closed beta. I will also be on this server during the open beta. Edit 2: There is an IRC channel for Aion on the Quakenet server, really nice community with a few appearances of a couple GMs. The channel is named #Aion -------------------- R.I.P. Lucy ! | ||||||
