Summary: When we check out the vote result and player comments of Recommended MMOs in November. It's crystal clear that Aion and WoW is becoming the latest topic, because of the OBT of Aion and recent release of Wotlk. Some players said they hope Aion or some other MMOs challenge WoW's throne, "If a game comes out that poses a serious future threat, maybe the developers will get their heads out of their nether regions and start innovating some."

Scenery in Aion is seductive and depicted to a nicety, and it's eastern style. We can easily find the decided difference of water effect between Aion and WoW. Putting aside your system, Aion is more beautiful than WoW, but WoW is still a cost-effective MMO. The graphics of Aion actually look nice, but it should first make promises with its quest system, class and gameplay balance.

It is said that "WoW + wings = Aion". Everyone is trying to imitate WoW in seeking success, but Aion also owns lots of unique things you may not notice. Here are some differences between Aion and WoW. You can explore the Aion world personally when its OBT starts. Plus, don't forget to tell us your discovery.

1.Characters in Aion can fly, cause' they get wings. Are you interested to see how aerial combat breaks out in an MMO, especially for melee/special classes. Is the assassin going to have to chase someone in 3D just to hit them? Are the spiritualist's pets all going to fly with him'her? A system like this would seem to favor ranged combatants unless there's some kind of lockon feature or speed advantage for melee classes.

2.There's no Mount System in Aion but a Transformation System.

3. PvP system in Aion is larger than WoW, Aereschuranta.

The Abyss(Aion's PVPVE area) is divided into three layers: Top, centre, and bottom. There are five fortresses and eight artifacts in the top layer, one fortress and seven artifacts in the centre, three fortresses and seven artifacts in the bottom layer with two strategic points.

I have played WoW for over 4 years and well it was fun for a few years it does get old going to the same places and instances over and over. I just want a new game to play with differnt style of play and differnt ways to get around in the game i played perfect world ewwww is all can say the flying mounts r way to slow !! and the grinding is endless ..... kinda like that..... i have been playing runes of magic its kinda like wow but a chas shop and no fees. the timed mounts kinda blow chunks.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
