Aion Online = WoW Killer?

[Mr. Moose]

it sure as hell will put a giant dent in their wallet.

How can you be that sure when the game hasn't even been released ?

Blizzard laughs at new mmorpg's. Maybe Aeon will have it's month of glory , like the other mmorpgs. But after that it's just everyone returning to WoW etc,..

If you call a game awesome etc,.. before it's released then it's just hype and hype killed games before.

actually it is released in china and Korea. China got 1 million people playing the first day it came out, idk about Korea but i think more. and yes you could play it now, with english, the chinese version.

Its out? o_O??? I just stopped the beta client because I dont feel like playing Beta, (2 day downlaod FTL).

[Vcertno]

Yep it's over just installed the client and BAM ! "cannot download server info"

[Abstraction]

That sucks. =/

[Casperx]

Def. gonna try this Seems awesome, and talked to someone who played Beta.

[tetuone]

I'm playing the chinese beta, and I'm loving it.

I got the Aion setup files from this site here:

Games On Net File Library :: Aion - Tower of Eternity - Client Files

Goes a heck of a lot faster than the other sites I've found.

Just started playing it. Loving it. I recomend this to all players.

In all honesty, I never thought AoC/WAR/etc would even be a remote threat to WoW. But seriously, this game has real potential. It's playable on most any system (like WoW), though, the *very* old systems won't be doing to well. The gameplay is much more fast paced, yet still loooooooooooooong as hell. It takes a very long time to level, however, you don't realize how long it is because the game is just downright fun. WoW's entire game world is SMALLER than Aion's. Not to mention, you can fly pretty much everywhere, which makes the game that much more fun.

The game is based more around skill, than gear. (Gear plays a definite part, but skill plays more. Think back to D2 days, when a sorc with crap-tals, and an occy, with crazy skills, could destroy someone fully decked out. That' doesn't happen in WoW. Unless the person completely sucks of course)

Thus, borned the genius.

Is it F2p or P2p?

I've already played the full 5 hour trial and I have to say this is the best game I've ever played. It blows WoW out of the water for sure.

The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is very balance. I also love how it's less grind and more interesting things like questing. You even get xp for herbalism and other things. :]

[Vcertno]

Well this game gives me a BSoD lol... Everytime I launch it

[sparrows]

wow killer?? i think not.. 13 million people play wow everday, something absolutly out of this world is needed to kill wow. 1million players have joined aion but wow gained lot more with lich king.

With ever changing content and the urge to be the best i dont think wow will die down for a few more years, unless the credit crunch kills blizzard.

I really like the screenshots,previews,and the Media of this game!!!
It has potential,and I would surely play it.
