Following Cspace's suggestion, the new MMORPG, Aion, being released sometime around Christmas (in the USA, that is. In the UK, it's being released end of January bluetongue.gif ), I decided to make a topic of. It. Lol, grammar problem.

It is basically a game that looks similar to Guild Wars, except with a different way to do things (like spells), a Z Axis, and the ability to fly. A game with angels and demons and stuff. Looks awesome.

Taking the "Overview" page from the US PlayNC site here:

QUOTE(http://www.plaync.com/us/games/aion/index.html)
Believe in Aion
Aion is the most visually stunning MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) ever made. Cutting-edge graphics redefine your expectations of online role-playing and reveal a true fantasy world where divine beings wage a war that will determine the future of the world.

Your role in this war is pivotal. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders as you and your allies participate in brutal warfare, devise brilliant strategy, and claim political power.


Soar to New Heights
Glide effortlessly through the skies in Aion. Flying is not just a means of transportation flight is an extension of the combat system and can be an integral part of taking on your foes in battle. Clash swords high above the ground and use flight-specific skills to defeat your rivals.

Aion adds a whole new dimension to combat as you pluck your enemies from the sky, rain down destruction from above, toss your opponent into the air, and more. This isn't your usual MMORPG combat, you will need to form new strategies to slay your adversary.


PvPvE
Combat in other online role-playing games consists of PvE (Player vs. Environment): fighting computer-controlled monsters, and PvP (Player vs. Player): human-controlled characters fighting each other.

For the first time in the MMORPG genre, Aion brings these two game features together in an evolving and seamless system. PvPvE manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds; it also controls the mighty Dragons, a non-player faction and a common enemy to all players, regardless of faction.


Blending Fantasy and Reality
Aion delivers a new level of graphical detail and world interactivity. Climb sheer cliffs, fly through moving clouds, see water ripple from the downdraft of your own powerful wings and leap gaping chasms. A supremely powerful graphical engine brings the world of your fantasies to life like never before.


The Music of Aion
The best movies and games are driven by spectacular music scores and Aion is no exception. Ryo Kunihiko, one of the world's leading composers of movie and television soundtracks, is creating incredible music that seamlessly interweaves with on-screen action, setting the mood and creating the perfect atmosphere for your adventures in the world of Aion.


This might be a thing to consider as a faction. In the future.

Yes, I KNOW I posted this in the Game Room before. But, let's see what happens now.


Discuss.

No, RoL just ripped it from Aion.

POST SYSTEM REQS.

NAAOOO!!!!!
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be "The One".
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.

It's still being made probably- there ARE no reqs. Yet.

BTW, there are Aion videos on the US Site too. If you're interested on what the Gameplay looks like, look at the E3 video.

I only currently have two problems with this game.
The Trailers were jerky, and the armor looked skinned, plus I can't imagine the processing power the environment would require.

I can't see it not having a monthly fee. If they make it past that, skinned armor or not, it's MIEN.

That's the big thing for me. If it does have a monthly fee, I probably won't be able to get it.

Personally, with the sort of par graphics like that, putting a monthly fee on it kinda makes me not want to play it. Even Rising Force online had to eventually turn F2P.

If he does start posting like before, Give him the ban-hammer like Maxi recommended and suggest that he cancel his subscription to "Internet Tough Guy" Magazine.
