Anyone playing the betas and plan on playing it when it's released?
New Fantasy MMORPG by NCsoft | Aion: The Tower of Eternity - For those who don't know what it is.
I definitely plan on playing, as you can tell from my signature I'll be an Elyos cleric.
I probably won't be playing, but my mom played the beta and is really looking forward to the official release. She wants to be an Elyos too. The game looked really good :D
I'll prolly play when it's released.
Assassin, as is every one of my first characters in every MMO I played, and then sorcerer... as in every second class I chose in every MMO I played. I'd prolly be Eylos too, the asmodians look like undeads from wow, just slightly prettier..
And Well, I don't like undeads.
I am in the Beta, its been pretty fun. Assassin and Sorcerer are the two I have dabbled in the most. Sadly its only open every other weekend, so I haven't beenable to fully kill my social life yet...
I wonder if we can sue them.
I dont know why but im gunna be an Assassin... they look awesome, I will definately be playing this game comes out.
Pre-ordered the game, Beta opens back up on Thursday so I'll try to get some time in before I go to Wisconsin and am computerless.
I pre-ordered the CE, should be getting a few beta keys (friend at EB Games just took a few for me).
:D
Long ago when I was a heavy MMORPG player (I've played every type :D!) I decided I would wait till post-beta before playing.
I definetly plan to get my hands on this game, they've done it right for what they were going for.
Even if it doesn't (which I doubt it will, just because) advance WoW in playerbase, it certainly has already blown away how I foresaw it before I watched the gameplay in action (Visual skills/spells are pretty much almost going ahead of FFXI's, which is saying alot).
Will I like the gameplay more than my two favorite online related games? (SotNW: GE and GW) I doubt it... however I'll still adore the exploration alot more I think, everywhere is so lush and detailed <3
Actually it might get a good chunk of wow's playerbase.Quote:

Edit: and a side note, if you're going to try the beta, when you're installing the game to play... it doesn't save if it's closed. I learned that the hard way when it was at 73 percent and I accidently unplugged my computer.
Ooooh, I am a little out of touch and didn't know that.
I did see the enphasis on -Alot- ... this is interesting news :D!

The next big patch that blizz is putting out is less than what was expected, at this point in WotLK the only NEW things have been the zones, Uld, and a few mob designs. Ironically, these mob designs are now raid bosses!
In a thread about how the tier 9 armor set is the breaking point for people for people who had hope for change, a nice amount of people said that they are going to try aion.
Not only that, but Blizz's sub base isn't at like 11mil anymore. The chinese servers have been down for over a month, and chinese players count for about 4mil of those subs. Not only that, but there is also no proof that when blizz says subs, that they mean active subs. Essentially there isn't 11mil-14mil players, just subscription accounts, that's including gold sellers, alt accounts. For all we know, they're just counting the subs that have been created at SOME POINT in time, but not currently.
Rumor has it, the player base is at around 5mil now. Just a rumor though.
Blizz is either using old mob models as raid bosses, recoloring armor sets, reusing raids.. becoming very.. boring.
I'm really looking forward to playing the Aion Beta.
@ ashley: not one, but TWO jormungar worms!
if i ever get a new computer, i'll give the game a whirl. eff being a damage dealer, I'm gonna tank.
Yeah i've been waiting for my new graphics card before I preorder, been ranting and raving about this game for the past few months xD
WoW mad me sadface so I quit xD
TWO!?Quote:

Seriously though, I can't take jormungar's seriously, valkyries either. Making them raid bosses just makes me put my face on the keyboard and roll.
