Reviewer: S. Li, USA
Honestly, one of the best looking mmos I've seen as well as one of the most customizable in terms of character, skills, and gear. I've read about a half dozen reviews on this game, most criticizing it for being a "grinder" but after playing for about a week (level 21 as of now) I've yet to experience what these critics have deemed a "grinder". I've only redone about 2 or 3 quests and those were hardly done for the sake of earning experience but mere curiosity as to what kind of rewards could be obtained with the tokens (Iron, Bronze, etc.) earned. Perhaps the grinding aspect was corrected in a recent patch? The wings are... kind of overrated, I prefer the mounted flight in WoW, but then again WoW doesn't have flying combat like Aion does and for that, I applaud the creators of Aion. The bots however ARE a problem that I recognize from previous complaints and NCSoft seems to be working on that issue (they recently banned the accounts of about 16,000 confirmed bots). For a game that can be bought for below $30 (got mine from here for $25, $28 with shipping) and that includes the first month free, it's totally worth it even if you decide not to subscribe for additional months.
AION is Fantastic

What a gorgeous graphic!
What a easy interface!
But scenario was much weaker than WOW.
If you love great visual, choose AION.
If you are solo player and love scenario, this is not your game.
Impressive MMO

Reviewer: L. Presgraves, Hampton Roads, VA
As a WoW veteran, I wasn't sure I would like this game as I was tired of WoW style MMO. For me, WoW is a bit played out & I feel that the game developers are having to stretch to make the game interesting. I just lost interest. So, I decided to give this a go during Beta & I was delighted. Even though there are only 2 races to choose from, character customization is amazingly detailed. I made my 2nd character look just like me simply because I could. Once you log in, you can appreciate the work that was put into producing this game as it has the most beautiful graphics I've seen in any game. Leveling the character is pretty standard. Some quests offer cut scenes upon turn in which is a treat. Some of the scenes are rehashed in later quests, but it doesn't detract too much from the fun of it. The GM's where quick to fix log on problems & put bots / gold spammers in remission - The speed & efficiency was impressive' the attention NCSoft puts into managing the game offers great expectations for expansions. The grinding that many complain about is not all that bad. Repeatable quests are offered but not necessary. Even though I was never a big PVP style player, this game makes it alot of fun & I find myself deliberately wandering into enemy territory to pick a fight. There's not as much exploration area as WoW right now (but to be fair WoW has been out for years & implemented several expansions to increase there map areas) , but with the upcoming expansions there should be a lot more to explore. So as a gamer that thought I'd never play MMO's again after being burnt out from WoW, I am really impressed.
Fantastical Game

Reviewer: R. Russell, USA
Don't know about you guys but this game is different compared to WoW and all the other mmos i've played. I'm not focused on simple details and comparisons, but more like that all MMOs are the same in one major way, they are mmos. But lore, gameplay, character creation, and things like that are always different. That's what gives each MMO its own, unique reputation. Aion in itself is one of the best. I still play it since the beta release. <3
a legitimate rival to WoW
 
Review Date: May 3, 2010
Reviewer: E. Banach, USA
Though it's early in its history, this game does live up to most of the standards of the MMORPG, in my opinion. If you're still playing WoW or GW, and just looking for something different to see if those are worth quitting and starting something new, you may want to save your time and skip Aion. But if you've still got the craving for an mmo experience but it's just to painful to log on to that old level 80 or whatever, then Aion may be a breath of fresh air for you (it was for me).

I have been playing for a week now and I am at level 23 with my new Cleric ( the only healing class in the game, other than Chanters). The first impressions were pretty good. As an former WoW player I felt pretty much at home as far as the interface goes. I actually like the action bars a little better because they are already set up with keybinds for you. The graphics are also a very big selling point here. Everything in this world just looks very nice. Due to this though you will need a pretty up to date computer to enjoy it. I am playing on a very new laptop and havent had any major technical concerns but it can get choppy. If you're still running a machine that got you through 5 years of WoW, you will definitely make sure you look over the system requirements for this game.

The learning curve will be a little steep for new players however I did feel it is certainly not as user friendly as WoW. You will not be getting the instant gratification that WoW now offers, like lightspeed heirloom leveling and jumping into queued instances and battle grounds at level 15. Leveling in Aion will become a quite painfully slow process as you reach about level 20. Due to this fact, it really does reminds me of the early days of WoW, when leveling to 60 was an intensely long and tiring grind but altogether extremely rewarding. Though similar to WoW in a lot of ways you'll find that their approach to things like crafting items (alchemy, cooking, weaponsmithing, etc.) are quite different and interesting but definitely fun. You should also note that there are little to no pvp or instanced content until you get to level 30 or so. You will spend a good chunk of the grind to 50 doing TONS of quests and killing millions of monsters solo unless you have friends who play. Grouping is a lot of fun and there is a lot of role-play potential for this game.

Since UO i've been playing these mmo to death so I'm kind of leaning towards 3 out of 5 stars for the degree of fun. These games are cool but they do require a lot of your time and will keep you from doing things outside. If you want to get into that kind of thing again or for the first time, try this game out because it's a very respectable game in my opinion. The makers of this game have designed some very beautiful landscapes and very cool character designs. If it had come out the same time WoW did I'm sure there would be half as many of these negative reviews on here because a lot of these people seem like their still trapped in the nostalgia and love for world of Warcraft.

Product Description

Fans of World of Warcraft, prepare for Blizzard Entertainment's next installment -- World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich. In this latest expansion, something is afoot in the cold, harsh northlands. The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth. The necromantic power of the plague and legions of undead armies threaten to sweep across the land. Only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich King and end his reign of terror.

Enter the Death Knight
This expansion adds a host of content to the already massive existing game world. Players will achieve soaring levels of power, explore Northrend (the vast icy continent of the Lich King), and battle high-level heroes to determine the ultimate fate of Azeroth. As you face the dangers of the frigid, harsh north, prepare to master the dark necromantic powers of the Death Night -- World of Warcraft's first Hero class. No longer servants of the Lich King, the Death Knights begin their new calling as experienced, formidable adversaries. Each is heavily armed, armored, and in possession of a deadly arsenal of forbidden magic.

If you have a World of Warcraft account with a character of at least level 55, you will be able to create a new level-55 Death Knight of any race (if on a PvP realm, the Death Knight must be the same faction as your existing character). And upon entering the new world, your Death Knight will begin to quest to level 80, gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way. This expansion allows for only one Death Knight per realm, per account.

New Environments in Northrend Await
Journey through the remote, diverse lands of Northrend and explore Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Borean Tundra, and Howling Fjord. Named for bones of perished dragons and majestic shrines to the fallen creatures, Dragonblight is an arctic wasteland surrounded by dense forests.

Not everything is frozen in Northrend. The lush mountains of Grizzly Hills are the ancestral home to the furbolgs, who have grown accustomed to relative peace. Although their tranquility is being challenged by trappers, goblins, and ice trolls, Grizzly Hills remains a vast and dangerous wilderness.

The southwestern tip of Northrend is home to the sprawling Borean Tundra. The Horde has established a dominant presence in this icy portion of the continent and has formed a bond with the tuskarr, a walrus-like race of nomadic fisherman. Magical energy is afoot in the region, and it has caused increased tension.

High above the Great Sea at the southeastern tip of Northrend lies the Howling Fjord. Ancient mythology holds that a race of half-giant warriors, the vrykul, once inhabited the land, founding a prosperous civilization. They mysteriously vanished, leaving deserted villages and abandoned temples. In present times, the Alliance and the Horde have come to Howling Fjord to confront the Lich King. Strangely, this has prompted the return of the vrykul, who are attacking the Alliance and Horde settlements. Howling Fjord presents a difficult challenge on two fronts: withstanding the vrykul's onslaught and battling the evil Lich King.

A Multitude of Monsters
Strange and terrifying creatures inhabit the frozen continent of Northrend, such as Nerubian Viziniers, Plague Eruptors, Shoveltusks and Flesh Giants, to name just a few. Half-spider, half-humanoid, the viziniers utilize sorcery and high intelligence to emerge as the rulers of Nerubians' underground kingdom. The Plague Eruptors are walking corpses created by the Lich King's evil experiments to spread horror and chaos across the living world.

Massive curved antlers make it easy to identify the Shoveltusks. These grumpy beasts are very dangerous, territorial, and best left alone. The Flesh Giants are nothing short of nightmarish abominations. Cobbled together from the pieces of giant body parts, the Flesh Giants employ tremendous strength to carry out the Lich King's wishes.

The World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich expansion pack allows you to engage in epic siege warfare. The pack presents the first Hero class and allows you to transform your Death Knight's look with character customization that even include hairstyles and dances. You'll enjoy exploring the Northrend and all its environments and dungeons, filled with some of the deadliest creatures -- and greatest treasures -- on all of Azeroth.

Story
In Dragon Age: Origins the survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands on the continent of Thedas throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted general in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice. As you fight your way towards the final confrontation with an evil nemesis, you will face monstrous foes and engage in epic quests to unite the disparate peoples of a world at war. A romance with a seductive shapeshifter may hold the key to victory, or she may be a dangerous diversion from the heart of your mission. To be a leader, you must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice your friends and loved ones for the greater good.

Gameplay
Dragon Age: Origins is a 3D oriented RPG based in a dark, heroic, fantasy realm where moral choices have a lasting impression on the people you meet, the members of your own party and the world around you. The inclusion of subtitle "Origins" in the game's title refers to the six unique origin stories available to new heroes as a new game begins. Each of these has an impact on the player's motivations and his or her experience, and renders a unique prelude, path, and possible ending(s) to the game. There are many different endings to the game based on the origin story of the character and the choices you make as you play through the game. The game features three character classes--warrior, mage, and rogue--and three races of being--Human, Elf or Dwarf--that can assume these classes. Although most game elements, such as weapons, magic, etc., are available to any character, each class and race has different strengths, abilities and affinities which lend themselves to better utilizing different elements. Dragon Age: Origins is a single player game based on party-based gameplay and combat where the player can join, control and quest with up to three non-player characters (NPCs). Players can also quest alone if they so choose, but with the chance of survival are slim. Convincing NPCs to join you, and treating them well may be necessary depending on the varying sentiments between the player and the NPC, or between the NPC's in the party based on the chosen history written into the origin story accepted at the beginning of the game. This uncertainty allows for a variety of possible dynamics within the party ranging from open hostility, all the way to romance. The game progresses in real-time via a pause-and-play tactical combat system that allows the player to check inventory levels, equip a character, etc. in a slight vacuum. Additional features found in the game include: a combination of a standard loot system and a currency system based on gold silver and copper; advanced character customization functionality; the use of poison, traps and herbalism; dual-wielding skills; and "spell combos," which allow players to chain together different spells to create a unique effects.
