I plan on going Asmodian assassin big as I can make him :D:D!


Now Playing: AoC
Played
Warhammer - This game lacks fun.
SWG (2 years) - When it was badass, holocron hunting equaled epic :).

FFXI ( 3 years ) - Still one of my favorite games, sadly they took combo chaining out.

WoW (3 years) - Waste of my life.
Games Not worth mentioning: Tabula Rasa, RF Online ( I paid the 50 bucks!),

Elyo Assassin, normal sized.  (Not sure why I put size in here)

Well maybe even multiple characters, Spiritmaster and Sorceror feels fun to me.

Asmodian, because i like playing the good guys :)

hey read the history, they got screwed, their leaders knew what was going to happen. Besides... it's like trusting the narru in WoW.. i just don't do it, any being who thinks their better than anyone else on their high horse with a stick up their butt. Needs bringing down in pools of their own crimson blood....


Elyos can go die in droves.... horrible creatures..... <3 my mane

so far on OB,  level 21 asmodian assassin, ranger and my little spiritmaster is only level 13 (far easiest to level, dps is off the scale with mages even without the ability to crit)

I have played every mmo to date and I am skipping this one.  I played beta and did not like it, to similar to every mmo out there, nothing next gen about this title so it can't keep my interest.

Eh, the Asmos are not exactly "Evil", nor are the Elyos "Good". If you read the lore both sides caused the problems, and they are both just as guilty as the other.

Asmo... and no no, the Elyos are way more guilty! ;-)

Any Elyos I come across shall feel the wrath of my blade. There is no better satisfaction in life than to add their pompous little heads to my collection. It is not only for hatred that I cut them down, but because of the exhilaration that comes with pure unadulterated rage when my blade cuts through their skin.

If you're not playing, why on earth have you posted your irrelevant comments here?

There's always one muppet who does this.

Yeah w/e, I don't understand it just ignore him. He's just a gamehopper anyway.

The interesting thing is there will probably be more Elyos as there are more Elyos based guilds. I'm glad to see there are some people going Asmodian.

Next gen?  Define "generation" in MMORPG, I dare you.

The popularity of both races switches constantly with each beta they announce. I saw that asmodians were most popular last beta. So it really fluctuates each time. It's better to do more polls closer to launch, more people will have heard of the game and tested out the open beta. But general is very hard to determine the underdogg class. And yes according to the story the Elyos betrayed the asmodians. There is really no good or bad side. Both side will be well balanced according all the polls that have been put on several fansites

It has to be Elyos. The Asmodians just look stupid.

 Emo's usually pick the dark misunderstood race, in Aion that would be the asmodians.

I concur. It is hard to define next gen.
I can think of ways of how MMORPGs can change but 'next gen' not so much (e.g. blending differing genres, etc). Many may think something like SW:TOR is next gen, but, how? Many of the features it is offering excludes player interaction.
 
For me, if next gen is ANYTHING it would be more dynamic server options, e.g. servers for lowbies so many players can level up together (servers for large masses of land, as well as servers that can hold larger amounts of information made for large endgame communities). Since as technology advances these types of options come up (instead of being made to payed money for simple transfers from server to server which ends up being minor electrical signals).

But like noted before, defining next gen as anything is silly since no one knows what it will be.

If I had to guess I'd say most of the younger crowd will gravitate towards the asmodian race so I'll probably be sticking to elyos.
