Just because a person is a DF doesn't mean they can't enjoy the run of the mill MMO. With the amount of Hype this game does I have, I can only put my figers on a couple things.

1) Character Customization. Supposedly you can make a character look like anything, with an Asain tinge of course.

2) Advance AI where Mobs act more like real people which makes Tank and Spank method of doing PvE impossible of extremely diffcult.

3) A PvE centric game that allows people to do FFA PvP on their terms. Not really new, runescape had a similar system at one point, but its refeshing for the Hardcore PvEr, but casual PvPer.

4) And Supposedly the game has an RvR element, but one that is also affected by PvE. If its as shallow (although still cool) as FFXI then i'm , but if its more advance by offering new quest, conquest into the enemy's territory, buffs, armor, and different raids ect then its refershing.

other than that, nothing really comes out as new

I was fighting a mob today and it spun me around and stunned me, then it crit me while my back was too it. These mobs can do crazy sh*t at times.

U are a troll OP... just like me... thats it... learn how to troll and get some data then manipulate at your will... but at least u need something right and real to start trolling with...

maybe you could take a look at the pictures and say ths game is fag or something... that is more trolling.. but what u are doing is a shame to trollers ...

screw you OP....  I was wondering why your mom gave birth to you... you are only just another guy... nothing special... unintelligent... boring... and so on... the list continues...

Welcome to this section, I hope you stick around long enough to understand why Pezhead said that.

Don't forget the Balaur, its one innovation people seem to not know about, or forget to mention. They are a third faction that is completely NPC and controlled by the Devs/GM's to show up at Castle sieges, Rift PvP's, Raid bosses, etc...And they will help stabilize the server balance by helping different sides, or attacking both for a nice 1v1v1.

They should of made 3 playable factions instead of duming it down and letting it be ran by uber NPCs

History has shown that over hype or high expectatons lead to dissappointment.

All game companies should do many things but 3 playable factions, I think not. Your just thinning your ranks by doing that. Two is just fine.

Aion has very minimal hype if you look at the big picture. The only ones who know about and well are avid internet browsers. Now games like WAR and AoC where you see posters and videos and devs jabbing all over the place, that's overhype.

The hype is at an acceptable level, in fact I worry they are shooting themselves in the foot in NA by not marketing yet...

it's true but there is a proverb in french it says : "une fois n'est pas coutume"  it means that even if it happened once it wont obligatory happen again....it may...like it may not

well what I want to say is that yes we have high expectation, but maybe the game will live up our expectation....who knows :)

Never argue with idiots, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I antecipate this game because so far, both pvp and pve sounds good in theory, ofc theory is still a theory until they release the game and we see exactly whats there and whats not...hopefully it doesnt go like RF online or similar, all hype and no game

You even "Guess" at what graphics engine the game is using. Holy crap your mom mustof been smoking some strong weed to make a human capable of such stupidity. You even bothered post this statement proving you find the slightest curiosity about wtf is going on and yet you won't even find the UTMOST BASICS? You are making even the dumbest of trolls and haters depressed at that. Because even the most stupid of trolls know what graphics engine is being used before making any kind of statement.

I can't wait for this game - I'm so tired of WoW /sigh I need a new game to become obsessed with.  Everything I've seen so far has made me really want to try Aion - I was hesitant after hearing about the hero class on PvP but now it kinda makes sense - so I still wanna try this game.  Graphics that I've seen = awesome, storyline = great, etc.   So I'll try it out when we finally are able to buy it - I think most anticipate it because they're ready for something new and different from the WoW mold.

The game looks very crisp, and combat looks fluid and enjoyable... But in the end, it suffers from a lot of stupid design choices, like the PVP heirarchy.

I'm not expecting much honestly.

pvp is just fine as it is.

Do you get ganked by higher lvl ? yep you sure do, its part of the game. Its no big deal really except if your trying to complete a quest in the abyss then it becomes a challange. But that's what friends are for correct ? to watch your back while you do these things. The quest are not long and drawn out so its not to hard to get done unless there is a heavy concentration of enemey faction in the area.

In theory it won't become just another equipment grindfest like WoW fell into after it abandoned the ranking system...pvp was more interesting before that when it still had rankings, from whats been told around Aion seems to have picked something similar to that ranking system thus I have great expectations for it, hopefully the pve and economy/craft system can keep up to par or at least not be boringly shallow like WAR...or that they slack out on high end material...one can only hope
