Not saying they stole their combat system from Everquest II, but I have played EQ2 before and that chain combat skill system works the exact(I mean exactly) the same way that they described it. When you use a skill, a second one will start flashing so you hit it and it does a chain attack, then another might flash indicating you have another skill to add to the chain. They even made it to where your party's skills will interact with each character. Game does look neat but I seriously dought I will be playing it. |

nice article Jon. It seems Aion was sprung on us in a happy way. It appears to feature alot of what players are looking for. I love the graphic effects and am happy to hear there is a favorable opinion on them. yet another game to keep tabs on.

I always wanted to play In Nominae Satanis and for some reasons, it just never happen. The setting is definitely appealing, the many servers rules let's me suppose I will maybe find a server that exclude all forms of PvP, maybe... The first time I read their name, I was thinking...is that the RPG with that disastrous launch? But not, have no link. It will be unable to escape the Rating M 18+ and if they manage to be successful, I would advice that they just get their team of lawyers who scare Marvel to be ready to work. Having angels and demons might draw the attention of one of the 0938392742 religious groups plaguing NA! But, I am definitely looking forward this game now...the setting is great! Tigris, you do realize EQ2 stole this flashing feature from the oldest electronic games? Way before there was something to be called a computer? You know, memory games...personnally I don't particuliarly enjoy this, but well, maybe, I don't dislike it either. In fact, in EQ2, beside graphics & guild stuff, there is nothing I find innovative. *shrug* In EQ2 you can barely jump...in this game you can fly, the only other MMOs featuring fly are...CoH and CoV and it was nicely done, so I expect it to be nicely done! The graphics are definitely outmatching all I have seen in current MMOs...and the thematic in Aion (which I tend to want to write Aeon, bad bad me) is just sweeet...at last a religious oriented MMO! CRUSADE! |

I said might be stealing hehe. I wasn't saying for sure they did. Also there is some shotty korean game named "flyff" where you can fly seemlessly on hoverboards and brooms.

Yeah... but Flyff sucks, better use CoH as an example :D |

People have been flying in Anarchy Online for just about 5 years now. Kind of odd how people keep forgetting that.
As for Aion, I came up with a mock game design for one of my classes two years ago that's basically the same concept. I was shocked when I heard about this a few months ago. Definitely something I want to play. |

Game looks awsome, but uhh. MONTHLY FEES... I'm to poor for that and besides I think teh whole monthly fee crap is getting old.. How do they expect to get new players into mmorpgs when they slap a monthly fee in their face?? -.-

I just beg there will be monthly fees! Not because i am such rich, but because I tested several "free" MMOs and got disgusted about their bad (kiddie-)communitys!
If you wanna see how flying can work: Try Horizons! Shurely it could be better, but if Aion meets it, it will be nice! On the other hand: Give me one of the dragons, and keep the angels and demons for your own!

Where did you get the Dragon pic? Was it on this site? I'll try Aion just because it looks so gorgeous, but it sounds like NCSoft is trying some weird stuff if you read the website. Players effecting a server and deciding things like whether a server is RP? EDIT - My bad, I re-read the article more carefully and players won't determine i | ||
;)
Well, it should make watching this game develop interesting if nothing else!
