Good deal. Maybe I won't need to buy a new dual core system this year after all.
I think it's smart for a developer to not push the limits and try include older machines to gain a wider audience. You can still produce a high quality game without demanding computers with max performance.
Yeah its truely amazing such low reqs for how good the game really looks.
Its a big step in the right direction for them.
20Gb hard drive space huh...
Damn, what was I thinking when I partitioned an 80gb hard drive, more importantly why did I skimp so much on hard drive size when they are so cheap anyway...
lol..hehe..you can just get a 80gb harddrive for the game..they are really cheap ...not really a problem
w00t so my
AMD|A64 x2 6400+ 3.2g AM2
4 gigs of ram
and GeForce 8800 GT will do more than the job requires
The client is around 7-8 gigs, they recommend 20GB for future expansions and patches but I doubt it would ever get past 12 gigs.

Do not kid yourselfs it is running on a high mod farcry engine lol i would say in real world sli 7600gts is realy min with a core2
To play and maybe be happy with it
It's just like Lineage2, it still has excellent graphics and my radeon 9200 actually runs the game at high.
Of course, minimum system req also means you won't be able to gain all of what Aion has to offer.
Oh and Housam, are their any games that actually demand your system specs? That's way over-kill :P
No game will ever ask for an SLI set up to be a minimum requirement. This game is using a modded engine thats 3-4 years old. It won't require a dual core processor either. The specs provided in the OP will probably be fine for the lowest settings.
From what I usually see. Minimum requirements can run the game, but expect a slideshow. Recommended requirements usually allow you to play on the lowest settings.

I was pleased when I saw the recquirements.
I'm actually playing Tabula Rasa but sadly I have to play on low graphics mode
Eaglix
Cool. I should be able to max it out.
Minimun system requierement + a computer that just have that or just a bit better = Lag, and chop lol.
Aion deserves to be played on maximum settings.
Getting:
INTEL E6850 or E8400 or E8500 (depends on what's not out of stock)
ASUS Striker II Formula
OCZ SLI-Ready DDR2 800MHz RAM (8GB total)
EVGA GeForce 9600GT SSC Edition, 512MB GDR3, PCI Express 2.0 (two in SLI)
Should be good enough for 5 years :P
Cheers.
/agree but AMD > INTEL :P
I agree as well. I plan on buying a 8800GT just for this game.

i JUST got a 8800 GT...freaking awesome....all i can say. I am sooooooo happy I upgraded recently to a comp that will run Aion full graphics smoothly
I wasn't surprised at these requirements. This game uses the Farcry engine which came out even earlier than WoW.
/agree but AMD > INTEL :PHe's going for Intel so I think you mean AMD < Intel
nope.. he went INTEL but i prefer AMD
always have hasnt failed me yet

Dont make me laugh, if you can play Aion at low settings over 30 fps with a p.c with them spec's i'll eat my hat
You're right. Minimum settings do allow you to run the game, but at a unplayable state. Most games usually run choppy when playing at the bare minimum requirements. The recommended requirements is the lowest you should aim for.
Im just glad that i am buying a new system sometime in June. My budget is £500 so i should be able to afford a computer more than capable of running this game, i hope. The game looks great.

thats the PC im aiming for.
have ordered it now wating for stock to arrive
cant wate... i want to try Aion out on it hehe
So yeah, getting final parts sometime next week. Went with E6850 coz I'd have to wait for another month for either of other two. Oh and I chose INTEL because I have good experience with OCing it. My P4 2.6GHz went to a stable 3.2GHz.
And i agree that real minimal requirements are the "recommended" ones, heh.
Cheers.
