The third week of Aion Closed Beta testing is well underway and I am once again playing, against my better judgment (burnout, y’know), and having fun. I was asked during the last beta weekend to write up a comparison of WAR and Aion. Occasionally I do receive requests and I always try ...

I received another request to expound upon Aion
by comparing it to another game. This time the
questions are very specific and provoke some thought and quite possibly a good discussion regarding World of Warcraft and Aion. I will do my best to ...

... really want to go into huge detail about it all because almost every other blog out there has already either summarised or reviewed it in some form so I’d just be repeating stuff they’ve already said. Plus I haven’t played it nearly enough to pass any concrete judgement on it other than my initial impressions. However, if you want to find out more information about the game than I can supply, I can recommend Keen and Graev’s Aion vs WAR and ...

Blogger compares Aion to WoW and WAR
Massively —
Keen has two blog posts up discussing the similarities and differences between Aion and World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online. The first thing you should bear in mind is that he has not played Aion all the way through to the end game, even though he has "finished" both other MMOs. The second thing of note is that these points of comparison were requested by his readers. Even if one has not played Aion's end game, one can still make a valid comparison of certain aspects of it -- ...

I happen to have an Aion Beta Key, so I will be checking out the game a bit this weekend. While I am not too excited about the game, it does look like it is worth trying out. This beta event does not include the Abyss, which is what I am interested in. But I'll putt around and explore a bit of ...
