Yeah, I downloaded Aion today (6.8) GB with an 8.07 folder size after install. I bought a 900 hour card and made my Aion account. I was surpised to find 25 servers to connect to right away, but some of them are full! This game is one of the best MMORPG games I have ever played. It kind of reminds me of ROSE online in certain areas and graphics. The gameplay is completely solid and for some reason doing quest after quest killing mob after mob I can not stop playing the game and 7 hours later I am still not bored =) I have some photos from days back I forgot about and I will put in links below via photobucket for those who want to see some photos. So, I guess the game truly begins are level 9 yeah I played other games that do that. You start out in this area where they will be plenty of quests for you to do and plenty of monsters level 1 to 9. The more quests you did the more you learned about your past.  Once you hit level 9 you get to pick what you want to be like the warrior could be a gladiator or a templar the whole experience was cool since my level 9 quest I did go back to the abyss and learn about what happened. After you finish your quest thats when you get your wings and the game begins you can teleport just about anywhere you want now and be free to go to whole new locations and start the quest process again.

I wanted to know what this game was like and asking people about it really did not seem to help me out with my curiosity. Right now th is game deserves a higher hype than 8.39, but I believe it will go up after the release to other areas. Aion is very addictive, beautiful, smooth gameplay, and awesome audio that matches every location.

 

Here are some lower level photos

 I'm in the same boat, would like to give the game a go, but my past experience with Asian MMO's is they translate them poorly to the extent you get sentences that make no sense (eg. Sword of the new world when it was first released.) Anyway heres to hopeing Aion gets it right.

Ok I am just playing to learn something that I didnt know about the game before. I have not had one problem with the language. Map reading is like any other game, click on your enemy use a skill, cut scene quests pretty basic to understand what you have to do in any language. I have a guild playing this also so its not like I am alone we are just getting ready for the English versions so we know things we did not know before.

I think I read somewhere that the costs for this game were +/- 300 million dollars (I'll have to dig this up later...) or something and this being NCSoft's baby, just like Lineage I expect nothing less than stellar.

Come on, you can't truly judge the game until you at least reach max level. Check the WAR forum 2 months back, were a lot people saying the same thing until they hit Tier 3, then they posted a whine post and quited.

All games are funny the first week. If you can say the same thing at maximum level then we are talking.

What worries me though is that you seems to be able to do quest without even understand the language???? Are they that easy or are you just farming mobs?

Im not trying to sound like a smart ass, but if you look at the first post.

"I will upload more photos of where I currently am in the level 35+ areas."

Sorry, I am only 39 I guess that is not high enough?

When you die you can buy some of your experience points back from this NPC the amount at the bottom of the screen on the experience bar you can buy back is the lightly shaded blue color

i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/DeathNeedle/Aion0008-1.jpg

There is also the option to teleport over great distances from this NPC. The different areas you are at give you different options as to where you decide to teleport.

i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/DeathNeedle/Aion0013.jpg

Once you pick the location you want to travel to the NPC opens up a portal that you automatically jump inside.

i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/DeathNeedle/Aion0014.jpg

This is what the log in screen looks like when you start the game.

i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/DeathNeedle/login.jpg

and when you decide to stop playing and go to exit this screen will appear.

i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/DeathNeedle/login.jpg

Every time I exit the game it takes me to the Aion home page, but it does this to everyone who plays it really is kind of annoying I hope they will not do this in the North American release.

Dammit, I'm tearing up again. Those screens look sick! Your char looks wicked hehe.

 

Can you make small updates to your OP as you go along about the negative things you have encountered? To counter-balance the positive? Else it'll all seem to good to be true :p

Its viral marketing is what it is....... don't be fooled...

For the number of times that SOE has destroyed the game I loved, even after it was very clear it was not what the majority wanted, I feel that they should start making donations to us- Paradox (SWG)
