PlayNc = fail, but I still want to try Tabula Rasa, but not sure it's worth paying for :p

Lets see,inside ncsoft  there is too much difference.

Aion isn´t instanced like GW and TR is another kind of game although is obviously an MMO but something similar on request like aion (an open world >80%)

This is false.

The Aion representative on these boards has already stated there will be some instancing. They claim about 10% of content will be instanced. It's hard to judge if that is too much without experiencing it in the game world but I personally dislike any and all types of instancing.

I believe the key words are: "instanced like Guild Wars" in which the game is 99% instanced. The OP didn't ask if Aion has instancing in general.

 

Unless game developers don't mind letting a bunch of campers and farmers inside public dungeons, you'll be seeing a lot of instancing.

what does GW has to do with Aion..

NCsoft didnt developt guild wars.. it only published it. ArenaNet is the one that made GW NOT NCsoft.

If there is any game you want to compare with Aion, its lineage 2

I downloaded Archlord today... Wow!! It''s really kick-ass. I recommend it to ANY MMO fan!

8/21/08 4:29:18 AM#14

In my opinion, Aion looks like a pretty kick-ass game. The graphics appear to be substantial and judging by other forum posts i've read its going to be one good game. It's free too ;)

Although Aion looks good, i've heard the gameplay is poor so i'd look at it more on the net  before you go and wast 3 Gigs of space on something that won't grab your attention.

Oh, it's not like Guild Wars at all - but i do know for a fact it can be great fun at times.

Have fun people - Oh yeah, play Archlord

Aion is most definitely not free...

Game play poor? Not according to the numerous videos I've seen on youtube, looks fine to me.

Archlord sucks. My opinion of course. ;)

is it seamless? is it zoned? if zoned is it zoned like AoC or AO?

i personally dont mind loading screens between zones but i dont like single location zone crossings like boarding a ship etc.

I need more vespene gas.

a) Channeling on the starter area only when the game is released, channels removed after the initial rush.

b) Loading screens when porting to one of the 3 main zones (Elysea, Asmodae and the abyss). Loading screens will only happen on instantaneous teleports, like in Lineage II.

c) Small instanced dungeons for smaller guilds.

d) Instancing during quest cutscenes and special storylines (you travel to the past, etc).

The rest is completely seamless.
