Unique Features In Aion DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
Aion has many similarities to World of Warcraft, but look a little close and you'll see it's a very different game! This is a very unique game, with stunning visuals and graphics that will appeal to the most hardened WoW fan - while also improving and innovating in many areas of gameplay. The graphics and visuals of Aion are probably the most stunningly beautiful and amazingly detailed of any MMORPG ever. Yes, probably better than WoW. There is also a great soundtrack by famous Asian New Age music composer Yang Bang Ean. As far as movement and control, you get the feeling that you're some cyborg with a data-feed chip stuck in your brain who is otherwise looking out on a very real world. The game's Crytec servers even give you independently created and player-inspired storylines.
The basic premise of Aion is that there are "angels" and "demons" (actually both are factions of humans/Daevas who grew apart after the breaking of their original world of Atreia; so neither one is evil or good, but both factions readily believe that the other guys are indeed plenty evil and need to be obliterated) who are at war simultaneously against each other and against a third common enemy: a group of "fallen dragons" whose hubris started this never-ending war in the first place (yeah - it's Lucifer and the Fallen Host of Heaven). The evil dragons are AI-controlled NPCs; you get to choose an "angel" or "demon" human character to play. Leading on to the character creation process, you'll find there's a huge degree of incredibly detailed customisation options.
