Aion is a beautiful, well-polished, well-presented game that introduces a new combat mechanic in fantasy MMOs, fighting on wings. In fact, it's such a lovely game that IGN wishes there were more of it. While it offers something for both PvE and PvP-oriented players, it will only truly appeal to those who enjoy both, as the full Aion experience can only be achieved both by leveling up through quests and by playing in the Abyss when you're strong enough. The developers have actually added a great deal of PvE content in the process of localizing it for the North American/ European market and the potential is definitely there for the game to grow in that aspect but as it stands, ultimately the heart and soul of Aion is the Abyss.

Read on 2P's weekly recommended MMO review that picks up 5 MMOs which attracted the most attention during the last week at 2P and hope you can find out the most satisfied one among them.
Aion brings a plethora of innovative features to the MMORPG table including flight combat, in-depth character creation and customization, and some of the most intense PvP you'll ever experience in an online world.
MMORPG Aion Online has received a new content update, available now automatically for subs to download. Surely the highlight of the patch is the new Crucible Coliseum PvP Arena, which includes two PvP inspired instanced dungeons.
Anyone know if the server wait fiasco is over yet?
hmm does not know if want.
to current players, would this appeal to solo players, when it comes too mmo's im too casual to meet people (antisocial i know)
I don't get how this got a 9.5 in graphics. Age of Conan looks years ahead of it, and it's a year older.
This game is fantastic. Played in 2 of the betas, and NCSoft has done everything in their power to listen to the players and constantly tries to improve the game.
The game looks pretty solid all around, as long as they can keep a healthy amount of end-game content, I think it will do great in the long run.
