Blade & Soul from NCSoft is going to be a lot better than Aion. A lot more innovation is going into it, along with beautiful graphics.

Yes the graphics from Blade and Soul are some of the best I've ever seen but I still don't have much of any idea how it's all going to work out. I don't know if it's goin to be better than Aion but both are using heavily modified Crysis engine.

1.2 - I'm inclined to agree with Major Tom.
And I've played the Aion beta, which is excellent. Easily the most polished MMO to hit the market in recent memory. Not one crash or hiccup, gorgeous vistas, great effects and a - surprisingly - decent story. The flight aspect is brilliantly done. I really hope that they market this to success in the West.

I've already pre-ordered Aion (collector's), I will have to see/ play more of Blade and Soul before forming an opinion.

1.3 - wrong
Aion uses CryEngine ONE (Farcry 1)

Blade and Soul uses Unreal Engine 3

As Gun_Senshi said, Aion is using the old CryEngine1, not CE2. While Blade & Soul is using Unreal Engine 3.

Just looking at the gameplay videos of B&S, is enough to show how different it is to your typical MMO battling styles. Then there's the wall running stuff which is awesome, and a more realistic food creation system. It's really looking quite interesting. And the battles actually look more interactive, instead of just droning your way through like most games.

Aion may be well polished, but it's just feels like the same ol' stuff to me, with different models and storyline slapped in.

2 - Aion, cant wait for it
while blade and soul looks good, i doubt thats an MMO, combat like that with thousands of others no lol, might be like guild wars.

now aion looks amazing, gorgeous graphics and awesome gameplay. lol my gf is buying a laptop alone for it, and blade and soul, as im buyin a new desktop for these games, Cant wait :D

I very much doubt Blades and souls is like guild wars . It's just like Terra another korean mmo that tries another way for the action .

Aion remains in the vein of WoW/Eq wich isnt a bad thing , but blades and souls will try to fill the void left for actio oriented mmo , mostly occupied so far by crappy free games .

3.1 - If you pre-order, you're automatically in the beta.
You should have received the little box with your code when you placed the order at EB (or wherever). If not, go back to your store and ask them.

Next beta is July 2nd - 6th.

Cheers.

4 - Aion is a meh for me...
I saw it and after playing DDO, LOTRO,WAR, WOW... same shyt different smell.

Blade & Soul... I think all the blood is just a turn off, blood isn't needed but the game play looks sweet.

Now compared to Continent of the Ninth, IMO looks more my taste. I've spent thousands of dollars on Korean MMos and honestly they are different than your western MMOs.
