Anyone play?

I just started yesterday. If you've played WoW, you'd feel pretty comfortable, it's pretty similar. If you've never played an mmo, it'll have a learning curve (like all mmo's) BUT they did add a pretty cool in-game video popup tutorial which is pretty cool.

Based on the cryengine, which was what the original farcry was on. It's a modified version so it supports hdr and stuff. looks great.

7600 geforce go mobile, with 256mb video ram
2gb ddr2 667 ram
5400 rpm hdd
2 ghz core 2 duo

it's a laptop if you didn't guess, and it runs like ass. but it's the ram being filled. with 4gb i bet i could run it better.

you should be able to run it just fine

by the way, for anyone who doesn't know what this game is... it's an alternative to WoW only I think it's better ( i played WoW for 3 yrs too )

watch that, it's a beautiful mmo

it does look pretty good

That LOOKS pretty darn cool, much more realistic than WoW, more like an Anime than some stupid kid cartoon like wow looks. I'm not a rpg player, but imo this looks more appealing than WoW ever did.

yar it's got cool features too that wow doesn't. like you're "daevas" who have wings. you can glide/fly. instead of having mounts like every other mmo.

you still have an auction house (ebay style) like wow where you can let the broker sell your shit, or in aion you can set up your own shop and sell stuff (and avoid broker fees). it's pretty neat, when you do you're basically like an npc vendor, people can walk up and buy shit from you while you're in the bathroom taking a shit IRL.

graphics are great and for how good it looks it runs amazingly well.

one thing people loved about wow... two factions. good guys, bad guys. this game has two factions. well, technically three. asmodians, and elyos. third faction being npc's. kinda cool too there's a PvPvE zone called the abyss where each faction has their own base and there's a ton of huge battles of players vs players vs the npc's lol. i haven't gone yet but it looks pretty sweet, i love the pvp.

EDIT: forgot to mention you can customize your armor/gear. in most mmo's when you're leveling up you wear all kinds of mis matched shit and you look like an uncordinated scrub lol. in aion you can dye your gear so they all match. looks alot better that way.

Nice. How much is it a month?

Nice. How much is it a month?

$15/mo. same as world of warcraft and most of the other mmo's.

people who'd argue that being expensive just to play a game I always tell them "hell I spend $25-30+ in ONE night of drinking, but the $15/mo for the mmo gives me an entire month of entertainment"

i love fps games too but you pay $60 for them, beat the game, play the multiplayer for a week, then you're bored of it. mmo's keep giving lol. if you need something to do in your spare time, they're lots of fun. i play casually when i have free time. most mmo's release content patches that add a ton of new stuff to do, and usually an expansion every year or so. keeps things fresh.

I get the appeal, I just don't want to get addicted to the shit like crack.

I play FSX when I have free time to kill and nothing else seems entertaining.
