AOC hands down.  Aion looks like another hyped up Asian MMO.  Everyone will hype it up like they did with 2Moons. "Oh Man 2Moons is AWEWSOME! It will be the next MMO that dominates the WORLLLLLD!"  Every asian MMO looks like the same artist does the drawings.   Wouldn't put it past me they utilize item malls or some junk.  So I will wait for AOC.  I will never touch another asian tital again.

Agreed.  There hasn't been an original, creative, hell, just slightly DIFFERENT MMORPG to come out of Korea since...well, since....NEVER!  They're all exact copies of one another, with different titles on the boxes.

The way things are going with AOC it's going to end up like WoW except you can push a few more buttons.

NCsoft makes AION. NCsoft has a history of craptacular maintenance and of underachieving. I am also amazingly biased against NCsoft and boycott their games.

So no AION for me.

P.S. I'm well aware of how useless my post is, but hey, what are forums for.

Who do you trust?

I will judge for myself which one will be better.  So far it looks like AOC.

I find it quite ironic that someone as narrow minded as yourself is complaining about fanboys.

Saying every asian mmorpg is the same is much like saying every western mmorpg is like Everquest.

Actually there have been plenty of games that are completely different. Just because you're not willing to actually do any kind of research on those titles and base your opinion on a pathetic stereotype doesn't mean that it's actually true.

Oh...whats this...can it be!?!?! 

Aion is "STILL" winning....clearly people know a good well developed game when they see it......clearly...

Both games are realistic on graphic, AoC is more realistic on the animation and the physics, Aion on the other hand is not but Aion has very cool skill animation. I like cool skill animation, Aion has very identical animation as to Cabal Online. So I vote for Aion. For me I just don't like the cape in AoC, looks like Rappelz and GW. I love the sky fight in Aion.  ^_^

This link has all the information about Aion close beta.

To the OP:

Without reading much of what was said, the release dates will be separated by months. AoC will be released first and Aion will follow at some point (hopefully) later this year.

If you don't mind waiting without an MMO and you don't like the AoC concept, then you can wait a couple months for Aion to launch. If not, you can always trial AoC for at least the box-offered-month and decide for yourself whether you like it or not.

At the current moment. I am forced to say that AION is ahead of anyone else. In it’s early alpha stage, Aion already played like a ready for release title. Now the game can go to hell from there or it can become even better. From what I can see, it’s not trying to re-invent the wheel, it’s simply making it better. The gameplay appears to be similar to WOW and that kinda sucks but I didn’t hated how WOW played. I simply didn’t like the simplicity of the entire game.

AOC looks great but I don’t know. It doesn’t seem that appealing to me. The PVP system while not yet official appears to be made for the powerhouse guilds and will never allow a small underdog to have a chance at it. Instanced played owned cities… That is a huge turn off for me but I’ll have to see it to actually say it sucks.. it might actually really rock. AOC seems to have blood, guts and boobs but it doesn’t seem to offer anything more in my opinion. If I want blood, I’ll play an FPS or an online co-op survival game, if I want boobs, I’ll flirt at a club and use the skill: “Social”

I’ll still give a spin to AOC. Who knows, it might really rock.
