New MMO to look forward to
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:45 pm
For a while now I've been following a game by NCsoft (Guild wars, L2, others) called Aion: Tower of Eternity. The reason I'm posting it here because a while back I saw that a few people were on MMO's and were looking for a new one. Well this game looks to go up against WoW and do very well. It's been released in Korea already and just from the beta in the first 2 mins 11,000 people came on. Now aparently more came on when the game was actually released!!
A bit about the game anyway, It has stunning visuals (using the Far Cry engine), 2 races, 4 classes with 2 subclasses each, a flight mode that looks brilliant which is where the player gains Wings for their character and can fly around. The gameplay looks fresh with lots of good looking spells and skills and the character customisation looks better than any ever seen, you can change anything about your character whether it being fat or thin. It's about 3 races, 2 playable, 1 not. The Elyos (good side) ,The Asmodians (bad side) and The Balaur (big bad side, and not playable). All 3 fighting because The Balaur split the Tower of Eternity in 2 dividing them all up fighting to take the Tower to ensure their survival. You can Pvp near their in a battle ground called The Abyss, where you can fight on the ground or in flight mode. The videos I've seen of it so far look amazing and great fun to take part in. Then theres PvE where the whole world looks so well thought out and same for the music (take a look at the US link i give below to see what i mean), there are proffesions for your character to be able to craft items and gather them. This game will cost around £7.99 a month though, but when you see some gameplay, it'll be worth playing.
I'm definately going to buy this, and if anyone else will, just say. I wanna play with a few people from Fests place.
Heres the sites, take a look at the videos that's where the best is at.
