Aion – First Impressions

By alex

Hey peeps!

With all the things going on in Warcraft at the mo I was eager to have a go at something different to see if I’d be able to forget about my guild worries.

So Aion started its open beta today and after a sketchy start with the logon servers trying to cope with “a small country trying to log on at once” myself and a couple of guildies got into the game and created our characters!

I’ve created an Asmodain Warrior called…..Firelight!! (didnt see that one coming did ya!)

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far, there are a few little things that I’d like to change in the interface, but its nothing major really – just takes a little getting used to – for the most part everything is very warcraft! the layout of the screen, the way your character moves – its very familiar.

I’ve only managed the first 5 levels, and not wanting to go too far as we’re only in the beta right now so I still want it to be fun when the thing starts for real in a couple weeks.

Here are a few screen shots that I took on the fly just now! (still need to figure out what the equivalent to CTRL-Z is in game!)

Anyone else entered Aion for some pre-release fun??
