poisondad	Questions from an explorer General Discussion « Aion 7/26/09 7:52:35 PM Originally posted by parrotpholk Originally posted by Cerra hmm, so anyone here play DAOC?-- Would it be comparable to that world, without the expansions perhaps. Just starting out without expansions I can see the world not being toooo large-- leaving room to grow-- kind of like DAOC was.. it was definately more of a RVR game with little to no content in the original state. If its at least that large, it wouldnt be too bad. I would say smaller than DAoC but maybe not by much. 3 lands basically but exploration is still minimal currently. The abyss from the videos do not look very sightseeing friendly. However the other zones are quiet stunning. This just is not an explorers game sadly as thats the one thing about it that bums me out. Considering the amount of actual land area I would have to agree that the world is a bit smaller if not near equal to classic DAOC. One thing that should be remembered though is that DAOC and most of WoW from what i can remember traveled mostly on a X-Y-Axis game. Aion has larger zones in the sense that flight allows more areas to be reached. Without flight it would be a much smaller world. Zoning is not really that bad considering you spend a lot of time in individual zones before you actually need to move to a different area and the load times are not bad at all. There are some zone walls but for the most part the world does have a lot of exploring potential considering no two areas look completely the same. Generally it would take at least an 2-3hours or so to completely explore every inch of a zone. Truly depends on whether your exploring to just and quick and see everything or enjoy the small things found all over the world.
