Something to Keep an "Eye On"

Yeah I know you love my horrible puns. Anyway this game is called Aion, made by NCSoft who seem to be in bed with the Korean MMO market. If this is a pay to play game unfortunately it's a definite pass as most pay to play games will run you an arm and a leg at the end of the day. However if it isn't, it may...MAY...be worth checking out. But there is a problem and that is that most Korean if not all Korean MMO games aesthetically look amazing. Now the Bard is really superficial when it comes to MMORPGs. It's why he can stand to grind out Granado Espada for example after swearing off WoW (though the fact that it's free is a huge factor as well). Back to the point, aesthetics can only go so far if the gameplay is a pile of donkey turd. Once you actually get your favorite characters what then? Anyway according to one of the comments posted Aion was the name of a new Lineage II expansion pack for quite a while until it became something totally on it's own. This game's character design DOES evoke the sense that Lineage II did but I'm not so sure about the angel wings thing. Anyway, we'll see in 2008.
