Aion

Anyone on here playing? I've played a portion of the closed beta and currently playing the open beta. I'm on the Siel server as an Elyos priest/chanter called Preacher.

Is it any good?

561design · 09-08-2009, 04:23 PM

Yeah I really enjoy it so far. The only part that kinda sucks is that you don't PvP until lvl 20(However, you can duel anyone from the start). Which isn't that bad because you lvl to 10 pretty quickly (within a few hours) and @ lvl 10 you get wings, so you spend that time flying around. The graphics are amazing. Everytime I get into a new area there's another surprise.

I've played a few of the classes and they seem pretty well balanced but I haven't played much PvP yet though. I've been mainly trying out some of the classes to determine what I want to play when it goes live.

looks like an updated version of Lineage 2

ragingclue · 09-10-2009, 08:25 AM

So, after lvl 20, is it mostly PvP? Or is its main focus still PVE?

Sucks that it's p2p, looks nice though. Still waiting for gw2.

I believe it'll be focused more on PvP after lvl 20. But there are still some PvE stuff to get done after lvl 20 as well.

I'm assuming you mean PvP... Why would PvP suck?

Pay to play

It's $15 a month. It's one of the cheapest forms of entertainment out there based on the amount of time you can play. Buying individual games every few weeks or a movie an a date cost more than that.

So, the Aion early access has started. And the queue time for each server was 6hrs. (3000 poeple in queue just to log in).

So here is a protip for anyone playing this game. Once you make it through the queue and log in. NEVER log out! Its easy to stay in the game, just start up a shop (y on your keyboard), put something worthless up for 100,000,000g. And just leave it running.

Have fun.

That's not true. Atleast on my server (Siel) it's not. I logged in no problem the first time and when I logged back in at night I waited about 1 minute with 30 people in queue. I think they're doing a graet job managing game quality and server size.

Have you been playing the early access? I got my toon up to 18 last night and some of my guildies have already hit 23. It's starting to get very clear who has jobs and those that do not.

I've played DAOC and WoW. How does this game compare to those?

Kensta335 · 09-23-2009, 10:54 AM

This game reminds me of a game I used to play called Silkroad Online.
