I have little doubt that all MMO developers eyes (Including Aion's) are dead set on becoming the next 'WoW'. It is not because I consider WoW represents the standard for MMOs, but rather a framework on which most players have some experience with and can relate to. You will find that I talk and relate aspects of Aion to mainstream MMOs like World of Warcraft.
My viewpoint will be straightforward and as unbiased as possible …addressing why the highs aren’t so high, nor the lows so disastrous. I do not declare myself some MMO guru or expert…most players have played numerous MMOs and are quite able to distinguish what’s good from bad. This article is about what to expect from Aion.a bit more than what you get from FAQs or boards, it is an in depth look at my experience playing this game. The game has been released in China/Korea for some time. One twist is that this is not the true release for Aion, but rather the North American / European arrival of Aion. It is my hope to give those players who have newly joined or are considering Aion insight as to what to expect, what to do, and perhaps where this game will be several months down the road. The launch of an MMO has come under intense scrutiny over the last 2 years (And we have seen some stinky MMO releases. It remains to be seen how well Aion will do when it officially opens. I saw the dramatic changes as this game went though closed beta. I was fortunate to have been brought in to the beta prior to this game's release. I will update the review constantly through open beta as I expect many things will change. It is my hope that this review will help you make this decision. As such, players need to make a decision as to whether or not this game is right for them. The MMO industry is becoming crowded, especially in the dominant fantasy genre of game. Not because Aion is a 'WoW Clone (although there are some similarities) but because Aion has targeted one aspect that many players have complained was lacking in many recent MMO releases.
There is great anticipation of success for Aion. It carries a burden of huge hype from numerous players who are not satisfied with the current options in MMOs. On September 22nd Aion is released for the masses. OK, fresh off the boat from the land of morning calm comes the newest MMO to hit the market in 2009.
