Aion Videos: GDC: Setting, Races, and Character Creation (5:21)

While at GDC we had the opportunity to sit in with the folks from NCsoft while they gave a presentation on their much anticipated MMORPG, Aion: The Tower of Eternity. In Part one they tell us about the setting, playable races, and the game's robust character creation.

natuxatu writes: Loving what I hear about this game. It takes traditional MMO elements and adds some new elements to make it interesting and different. I think this will be a success. Fri Apr 03 2009 8:50PM

ThornVine writes: Pretty sure the girl talking is really a guy OOC crossdresser. The game will likely be the standard repetetive grind that bores most of us in less than 3 weeks. Most ppl play an MMO about three weeks before looking for a "difference" in another RPG. Sat Apr 04 2009 9:53AM

Ponico writes: It looks alot better then anything in the last few years. About time they bring a better Char customization. However, no idea if the game is actually good itself... time will tell but NCSOFT never really released a failure to date. Mon Apr 06 2009 12:33AM

aranha writes: I love how people tend to like western games more than asian games. This is innovative and no u cant compare this to DNL and other crappy games. This is NCsoft which is basicly the asian blizzard. The only thing they have released that failed ever was Tabula Rasa which was still a great concept. However its about taste offcourse and us and european citizens tend to like the kiddy western mmorpg's. Aion will turn out great and its said to have really good pvp! We'll have to wait and see.

ardohain writes: i don't mind the grind, but to all those blowing sunshine up the wazzoo of NCSoft i'd like to point out their blind eye toward botting, exploits, and farmers. this lack of attention destroyed L2's economy and made horrible server environments where chinese farmer guilds commanded a server without anyone able to challenge them unless they became a pawn to that guild.

duran3d writes: Very good game. But it would've been waaay much better if they actually named the factions Angels and Demons, and based the game in Milton's Paradise Lost instead of using made up names. Thu Apr 09 2009 12:43PM

erikk3189 writes: How soon you forget. How many games didn't seem great when first announced? Vanguard, Tabula Rasa and countless others all looked great only to turn out to be terrible dissappointments. In this case there's just no way you can see how good or bad this will will be just from a 5 minute video. A video which doesn't really show anything but what the spokesperson says. I don't see how you can be eager to play something you know nothing about. Thu Apr 23 2009 10:51AM
