So aion community can you guys please explain to me what this is going to be similar too? I haven't been lazy but I can't really find enough information about it, is it going to be lineage 2 with crysis graphics? or is it going to be a unique game nothing like it ever happened before?
I hope this game delivers the next gen mmo market is up for grabs at the moment, please tell me something exciting about this game, is it going to be instanced? is it heavily influenced with crafting and economical content? Is there going to be detailed quests? Houses, guild halls? Is it solo orientated ... I know there's flying and flying combo's which sound cool but anything that makes this special?

WoW/EQ like progression with a L2/FF flavour in pvp/group dynamics, feels like Daoc also due to the abyss, its a mixure of games and will most likely feel like a new experience overaly.
Think Ephimero defined it very well. Just to add that PvP is factions and as something new the PvPvM in The Abyss. A NPC faction "The Balaur" (system controled) is going to act in the war between Asmodians and Elyos.
The graphic engine is not the one used in Crysis. It is the Cryteck engine used in Far Cry, anyway graphics are awesome just take a look on the official web or you can find a lot of info at www.aionsource.com
Its a game that takes the best from every other mmo out there and will try to make it better, They are not reinventing the wheel here. Can be played solo with any class but shines when you're in a party. Figure to make lvl cap (50) in about 1 to 1.5 months ( the games focus is the abyss pvpve, so they want you to make cap fast inorder to do this). Gear is easy to get at high lvl, crafting has been improving after each CB faze, so it should be good. It has a dye system (like GW but better), Only about 10% of the content will be instanced.
One of the best things about this game is the stigma system. with the right stigma stone you can make your nuker wear plate armor or have your tank shoot fireballs or take a cleric's heal skill. you get one stigma slot for every 10 lvls for a max of 5 slots (lvl50) So you can costomize your toon anyway you like to fit your play style.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

U right. item systems is dye socket system. 4 sockets max now(ABYSS items- one of reason U go to ABYSS) .if ur class is cleric u can increase ur healthMax or energeMax with stones.increase criticas stones or MaxDMG stones also possible.there is many kinds of stons U can get at field mobs or crushing items.
amor systems for exmp,if Ur class is cleric U can amor robe or ranger's or Gladiator's heavy amor.robe can be good at party and mass GvG,heavy amor can be good at soloing and PvP.just fit ur style.
soloing with robe seems no problems to me(and heavy amor at party or mass RvR too). all classes are kinds of hybrid i think.
stigma stones(by quest) and item stones are different.
