Well like what others says, it is the most visually beautiful MMORPG. Graphics is Hax!
"Aion is a game that knows no cultural boundaries, and will provide an art style, story and game mechanics that will last through the ages and be appreciated by a global audience"
Wow, there goes $59 down the drain. This article inspired me to try it out but the sad sad truth is that this game IS Lineage 2 with a pretty new face. The mechanics are identical and I'm sure the grind for xp and millions of gold is as well.
The gold sellers are already spamming.
These games are just a ruse to profit off of gold sales.
I play Aion and love it. As you said its nothing new but its something done right, which is what many MMOs are lacking.
Personally im over the whole "wait for the next ground breaking MMO" thing. Its not gonna happen. Every MMO that has been announced already looks the same too, so its best people just choose a MMO and play it instead of believing something groundbreaking is going to be released.
I got a review for you on AION, don't get me wrong I have played it on the beta events and prepurchased it. All of my friends are on a server and I can never get logged on, they have told me that what I have to do is log on and have a macro keyboard to move me every 10 min or so forward then back so that I don't dissconnect and then never log out so that you always keep your spot. So my review is this, 3hour wait times to get onto servers? The only failing point I see on this game, they should have already released another 5 servers to balance the load, or made each server handle more people. I mean they knew the numbers were there 400k in pre orders alone? Come on guys get your crap together. One day when I have hours to spend looking at a que screen maybe I will get in for a few minutes and be able to write a proper review of my experiance.
minutes 0 - 20 - The loging screens look amazing the intro movie was great, I selected my server and I am now waiting in Que
minutes 21 - 60 - Still on the que screen looks like 2 more hours of waiting to get on pulled out my paddle with attached ball and started paddling
minutes 61-120 - Still on the que screen might get in quicker it say 45minutes oh and got to 600 paddles with the ball got board pulled out rubix
minutes 121-160 - Threw my rubix at the wall still can't figure that damn thing out after all these years, finally got logged in but servers are down for maintenance.
Well maybe it won't be just like that but you get the idea...LOL

I didn't read all the posts, but I'm surprised the review didn't mention the great framerates on relativly low end cards....
