I think to balance out the situation and the fact that I wanna be Elyos, I think I'll be the most beautiful lush side. The Elyos, doesn't mean that I'm the good guy, it only means that I'm the beautiful guy. ROFL!

I ll proberbly play Asmodian simply because I wish i d rolled a Horde in my first year or two in Warcraft . I ended up playing Alliance because people i knew had a guild . It was a big mistake in the long run as the kids all seamed to flock to being the good characters . So if Aion follows a similar trend then we ll see the Asmodians dominating in pvp . Not that kids are bad players but they dont think tactically or play well as a team .

I cant prove it, this it merely my impression and all the people i knew who played, but as you say, they probably claim that on both sides, sorry that i stated is as facts..

but i guess with 10 mill subs they a bound to be everywhere ;)

It's pretty damn apparent.  Play on both sides on any given server and alliance pretty much take the crown for general douchbaggery

Elyos for, may the holy side of atrei let me ascend to its skies.

Gorgeous Landscapes, thus i want to be watching while making my journey. Angel shape i shall look alike.

With very complex wings i shall cross skies.

Elyos for me.

Ill allways be a fellow Elyo of Elysia.

Elyos are the "good" race.  Kind, caring, bright, cheery, pretty, etc..  Asmos are the "evil" race, except in Aion they can be even more attractive (physically) in ways than the Elyos.  They're dark, menacing (even their run looks like one of an evil being on the hunt), scary, tattered, and...scary.  "Scary".

So let's see.  Say I'm a teenage boy.  Which way do I go?  Sunny, cheery, cloudy, flowery Elyos?  Cold, dark, scary, red-glowy-eyed Asmos?  Hmm, rainbows and ponies?  Demons and dark angels (very attractive, large-breasted, sexy torn-clothed dark angels)?

Yeah, I think I want to look like a caring, loving white ang......nahhh, angel of death for sure.  If it weren't obvious enough from that standpoint, wait for (pre)release and roll an asmodian, then an elyos and then watch region chat on each for 5 minutes.  Do it on the same server, even (delete one, then try the other).  I did that, on multiple servers, in the beta.  I've read the forums in numerous places at this point (server, race based, etc.) and I can very, very easily tell anyone out there that the "evil" side here is far, far more immature so far.  Yeah, there'll be some good, quality, mature players/guilds on the Asmo side.  They'll be the exception, not the rule.

Personally, I've never been one to stick to the "good" side of any game, but in this case I'll make an exception.  There's no way I'm gonna fight alongside all the 1337 kiddies I saw leveling my asmo assassin into the teens.  I'd much rather be a bright, cheery, white-winged angel of awesome this go-around (loved it just fine on my ely cleric).

 

Edit: Nice day to join MMORPG eh Ice? (1-12-06 ftw).  Made me double-take while re-reading the post.

 

I have to disagree with you.

I've been playing AION since the first closed beta, and I've played both sides extensively and on a couple different servers. I have to say that the Elyos side seemed far more immature than the Asmo side. It reminded me of WAR, where I rolled order only to be confronted with a tidal wave of Kiddies.

Also, if you take a look at the LotRO off topic boards you'll see a good portion of the LotRO player base that plans on playing AION are rolling Asmo. That may not mean squat to you, but the LotRO community is one of the more mature MMO communities out there.

I guess we should try another poll ....

And you don't seem to be aware that 90% of kids tend to play the light side, especially on a game like this.

Actually, even Lani has stated that there is no 'good' or 'evil' and that it's just a matter of perspective.

To some the Elyos are an arrogant, distant, culture that is fully prepared to commit genocide on their enemies in order to enact their will.
