MMORPG.com`s Community Manager Richard Cox writes thsi article on his hands-on experience with NCsoft`s highly anticipated MMORPG, Aion.

When I was getting ready for PAX I was told one of the primary reasons for going would be to check out Aion. PAX would be the first time the general public in North America would be getting their hands on the game. Much like most people out there, I really didn’t know a lot about the game. In fact I was going in with a lot of preconceived notions and assumptions. It is a Korean made game after all, so as such it comes with certain stereotypes. I’ve played more than my share of Korean MMOs and I have to say for the most part the majority of those stereotypes exist for a reason. While at PAX I spent probably an hour chatting with various members of the development team and probably between two and three total hours playing the game.

Here's the full article.

nm I didn't see it there two posts up...

What is refreshing, and we keep seeing this from NCSoft about Aion.

They are not out to change the wheel...especially if it is not broken.

They just want to take what they like about our old games and fix it up. I prefer this attitude if you know your game is a clone (*looks at WAR and the fanbois who say it is new...yea right)

The game at least looks good and has some fun and unique attributes. I am ok with that.

I am looking forward to giving this game a try.  The flight aspect is intriguing and the avatars and the war remind me of angels and the struggle of good verses evil, or in this case light versus dark.  The backstory is one that I might actually get into more than some of the other mmo's.

Can't wait.....

Can't wait....... bleh...
