Screenshots of Aion in all its glory

Aion 1 week after launch user reviews

Aion 1 week after launch user reviews

Man, Aion seems to be the WoW killer that people need. OK I’m only level 15 at the moment and still need to experience more of the games mechanics. But it feels almost like a clone but with suttle differences. Once I get more geared up with the game I will do a comparison for people who are in WoW and what to expect from Aion. This has to be one of the most beautiful looking MMO’s I’ve ever seen.

Here are a few screenshots, click the images below to see them in full resolution.

Update on Hackintosh build & Aion

corei7Talk about a huge learning curve, I know Mac but hacking it is a different kettle of fish. Kext files, permissions, ahhhhh!

Anyway I’ve installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 & OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Only problems I’m having is getting sound and the right video card driver. But that’s another days work, will stab at this over the weekend.

Windows works like a charm. Windows 7 seems very fast bootups and gaming is…. Whoa! I’ve installed Aion and running it on 2560 x 1600 (My native 30″ Apple Cinema display) with 8x AA, Bloom 3 and everything set to max. Getting an average of 150fps and looks absolutely beautiful. I will post some screenshots soon. Installed Call of Duty 4 and maxed everything out on top resolution. Getting about 100fps and it looks fricken awesome.

As for Aion only level 7 and so far its amazing. Chain spells are awesome.

If you want to join me on Aion my server details are:

Aion EU Server: [EN] Kalil
Faction: Elyos Faction
Class: Mage
Name: Spooksie

I’ve not had much time to play due to customer deadlines, so once I get the work done by tomorrow I can have a gaming marathon on Aion.

Aion seems to be a hit

Its early to say it but Aion seems to be getting praise from gamers. No official review has been set yet by a gaming site, nor will be taken seriously until they get midway. However I’ve been looking at peoples responses for the game and some of them are hailing this a world of warcraft killer.

Aion, is it all hype or will it turn heads?

People are hailing the new MMO on the block to knock off millions as ‘Aion’. Unfortunately I’m not going to pay for this game until I’ve seen reviews. I’ve wasted so much money this month on Champions Online and Warhammer Online. So if it gets the green light I will be jumping right in.
