I just preordered yesterday, will play Asmo. Haven't played beta or even researched the game at all, but I want to give it a shot and Asmodians, um, have claws and stuff.

And back hair
I'd play Asmo though if my friends weren't playing Elyos...I like making my toons look zombie-ish and it's hard to do when you glow and dance in wind-tossed glitter
I'll be going Elyos because I can't stand the Asmodian look.
Back hair? No thanks.
Claws and high heels for everyone? No thanks.
World design quality far below the Elyos lands? No thanks.
The only thing I like about the Asmodian race is the glowing eyes, but you can't even see that design decision 99% of the time. I also prefer the Elyos armor and wing designs over the Asmodians.

this does seem like the kind of game where kids and the gothic morons will see manes glowing eyes and claws as the place to be consequently putting asmodians on the bottom
Well Elyos is better designed compared to Asmodian. However, i have always liked to play the "dark side or dark races", which is Asmodian and i think most of the people has the same kind of thiking as i do.
Sorry i cannot stand all the immature kids that play these games so i am rolling Elyos. A lot more mature of players there.
And you don't seem to be aware that 90% of kids tend to play the light side, especially on a game like this.
How don't people like you get it?
Elyos are the "good" race. Kind, caring, bright, cheery, pretty, etc.. Asmos are the "evil" race, except in Aion they can be even more attractive (physically) in ways than the Elyos. They're dark, menacing (even their run looks like one of an evil being on the hunt), scary, tattered, and...scary. "Scary".
So let's see. Say I'm a teenage boy. Which way do I go? Sunny, cheery, cloudy, flowery Elyos? Cold, dark, scary, red-glowy-eyed Asmos? Hmm, rainbows and ponies? Demons and dark angels (very attractive, large-breasted, sexy torn-clothed dark angels)?
Yeah, I think I want to look like a caring, loving white ang......nahhh, angel of death for sure. If it weren't obvious enough from that standpoint, wait for (pre)release and roll an asmodian, then an elyos and then watch region chat on each for 5 minutes. Do it on the same server, even (delete one, then try the other). I did that, on multiple servers, in the beta. I've read the forums in numerous places at this point (server, race based, etc.) and I can very, very easily tell anyone out there that the "evil" side here is far, far more immature so far. Yeah, there'll be some good, quality, mature players/guilds on the Asmo side. They'll be the exception, not the rule.
Personally, I've never been one to stick to the "good" side of any game, but in this case I'll make an exception. There's no way I'm gonna fight alongside all the 1337 kiddies I saw leveling my asmo assassin into the teens. I'd much rather be a bright, cheery, white-winged angel of awesome this go-around (loved it just fine on my ely cleric).
Edit: Nice day to join MMORPG eh Ice? (1-12-06 ftw). Made me double-take while re-reading the post.

I'm playing Asmododian. I tried both sides in beta and the the Elyos graphics are just too dismal and gray. I got an SLI system and I want to be blown away by the graphics. All the gray and brown looking zones on the Elyos bore me. This may not mean anything in the high end but I know leveling up Elyos to 15 in beta was boring and the colors were so dull. Normally I'd be a more dark side guy but the graphics are depressing. It's just the way they did it, I had no problem with the horde in WOW though my mains were Alliance. I'll eventually start Elyos on another server I'm sure, but launch I'm Asmo.
Well, Shiymmas, in wow, the majority of the kiddies were alliance, so that kinda contradicts what youre saying, but i also agree that i the azmodians will be more atractive to the kids in this game..though ill be rolling an azmodian and im closing in on the 30´s...what am i saying..i must be confused
on a side note: i dont hope youre right with the community on the azmodian side though...a bad immature community can kill any game for me.
I think to balance out the situation and the fact that I wanna be Elyos, I think I'll be the most beautiful lush side. The Elyos, doesn't mean that I'm the good guy, it only means that I'm the beautiful guy. ROFL!

Asmo all the way. I prefer looking like a badass rather than a fairy. No offense.
Elyos ALL DA WAY
I'm going Human.
During OB I tried asmodian side, and disliked the decadent aristocratic society of Pandemonium...so Elyos for me at the start
I ´ll play the race in baddum´s sig.
Is is seriously split exactly 50% for both or is something messed up. If not, even with only 42 votes, I think thats great.
"...these forums are like soap operas"-Nihce
yea i was def expecting a big favor towards asmodian but i guess thats not the case
wow seems like it will be 50/50 more or less, with Asmo in the lead, but I guess that was expected.
Seeing as Asmodians got shafted hard on wing design...ill go elyos :P

I thought the gameplay/environment in Elyos was better developed than Asmodian. Elyos for me!

coming from a guy who is playing a race with a 90s rat tail....

Unless you got proof this is fact, what u have stated is purely your thoughts.
