    Anyone heard about this? Came across it today. Man it looks like the ****. Wow x3.. Just looks crazy if you ask me. Could be really good, could be exactly like WoW. But meh. looks beast.

    YouTube - Aion Preview - Character Creation and Gameplay - Yoggcast

    Theres other videos, but I feel like this gives a good overview.

    WoW? This looks exactly like Guild Wars. You ever play Guild Wars? This is like identical.

    Not so much. "Runes of Magic" was a WoW clone. This looks (and plays, from what i've seen of the youtube videos) a bit better than WoW. Once I got to 70 in WoW all my motivation for playing that game dried up. I had no friends playing on that server, couldn't really see the point in getting better armour and my brother used the internet too often for Battlegrounds not to suck for me.

    I want an MMORPG that gives me an excuse to play it. What does Aion have that will keep me interested?

    Looks like a cool mix between Guild Wars and WoW. I might actually play this and get into it. I guess the bigger question is how much it's gonna cost.

    Everyone who has played Guild Wars as much as I have have been waiting for this game for a while.

    Guild Wars and Aion are both by NCSoft, which is where you see the similarity.

    Well that would make sense. Guild Wars didn't have that long lasting appeal like WoW did for me. But idk, I might give this Aion a try. Which, coming from NCSoft, let's hope that means no subscription fees.

    I wouldn't count on it. The steam page for Aion says this (official):

    Pre-Sale offer includes:

    37 days of free play when the full game releases.
    Access to beta and preview events
    Special in-game items
    Attribute Boosting Hat
    Experience boosting Talisman
    Exclusive special effects ring (Water)

    I'm thinking that's a hint we'll have to pay monthly. We can only hope, though.

    If it's not monthly I might get it. I couldn't tell whether this was a GW clone or a WoW clone. The games are like perfectly melded together.

    It looks ok, but IMO they are trying to make it look too pretty.
    Probly just another "some evil dude wants to kill the world so we are getting people to go own him" Game.

    Yeah.. I never played guild wars, but this looks total kick ass, I can see a one time 60$ fee and possibly even a 60$ and a monthly fee.

    Dude, what game isn't that? Almost any and all action games are that..
