Believe in Aion™

Aion™ is the most visually stunning MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) ever made. Cutting-edge graphics redefine your expectations of online role-playing and reveal a true fantasy world where divine beings wage a war that will determine the future of the world.

Your role in this war is pivotal. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders as you and your allies participate in brutal warfare, devise brilliant strategy, and claim political power.
Soar to New Heights

Glide effortlessly through the skies in Aion™. Flying is not just a means of transportation – flight is an extension of the combat system and can be an integral part of taking on your foes in battle. Clash swords high above the ground and use flight-specific skills to defeat your rivals.

Aion™ adds a whole new dimension to combat as you pluck your enemies from the sky, rain down destruction from above, toss your opponent into the air, and more. This isn’t your usual MMORPG combat – you will need to form new strategies to slay your adversary.
PvPvE

Combat in other online role-playing games consists of PvE (Player vs. Environment): fighting computer-controlled monsters, and PvP (Player vs. Player): human-controlled characters fighting each other.

For the first time in the MMORPG genre, Aion™ brings these two game features together in an evolving and seamless system. PvPvE manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds; it also controls the mighty Dragons, a non-player faction and a common enemy to all players, regardless of faction.
Blending Fantasy and Reality

Aion™ delivers a new level of graphical detail and world interactivity. Climb sheer cliffs, fly through moving clouds, see water ripple from the downdraft of your own powerful wings and leap gaping chasms. A supremely powerful graphical engine brings the world of your fantasies to life like never before.
The Music of Aion™

The best movies and games are driven by spectacular music scores and Aion™ is no exception. Ryo Kunihiko, one of the world’s leading composers of movie and television soundtracks, is creating incredible music that seamlessly interweaves with on-screen action, setting the mood and creating the perfect atmosphere for your adventures in the world of Aion™.

It's a shame Aion wont have a lifetime fee option like LoTRO

plzzzzzzzzzz be a game like GW where ya just buy it in the stores Aion =D

haha

um I was pretty sure that they've already decided the commercial scheme and it was said to be p2p in Aionsource.

I'll probably have to find the article though.

Hehe, well I guess as much as people like to think that theres a chance of it being F2P or something similar to guild wars, I really doubt it will be.

Although it's not for certain, I'm pretty sure that it's 90% going to be P2P within the global market. The quality of the game really doesn't seem to be something that is made for F2P content. Even if it was p2p, it looks a lot better than WoW. Not sure how much content it will have though.

I'd have to say it's one of those games which are definitely worth the p2p if they promise the content. I hope it doesn't become a Lineage 2 as soon as the game starts though.

I believe it's better to have the mentality that it's a P2P game rather than F2P. Therefore no one will be disappointed when it eventually ends up becoming P2P.

Aion end game content is back on faction war like nation vs nation,so if we gonna play it we prob need mass recruit there or merge with other guilds before we go aion to get good position of gettting top guilds ranking,have to select same race as well to stay together

I read a lot about aion too, it looks very promising. I'd say the best graphics from all mmo i saw.. and gameplay is likely to be awesome :)

it reminds me of Perfect World in some ways :P

yeah it seem to be perfect world without the dolls and lame end game content.maybe it will be a perfect world in aion heh

Im just gonna say that im in love with this game since ,well alot of time .Im following its development from quite some time and im gonna buy it for sure . And I am very glad to hear that some of you guys will play it as well, Id love to play it with you guys :)


About payment,itll be p2p

This game gonna be amazing
sux its p2p

Yea I've been following this game for over a year now. When it comes out OBT for korea Ima gon try it out. Hopefully there will be people translating it haha...should be :P

The graphics are too godly. I'll eat my shoes if it ever goes f2p.

it will never be f2p, maybe private servers...
they spend too much time on a game, so its can't be f2p

yea.. i'll be waiting for private servers to appear

and I bet it will take long time for the private servers too...

p-servers would prolly take up to a year to come out.

they should...AION is popular.

The videos i watched about Aion were really amazing. This game will be one of the best mmorpgs. I really wish i could try that game...
