Anyone else playing the Aion closed beta this weekend?

[autumn]

I'm so geeked, we got the last 2 keys from the gamestop by my place. It is taking FOREVER to download though, a friend of mine took 12 hours on it >_> So anyone else gonna be on for the smexiest looking game in a while?

[Palle]

Yep, I'll be on.

The new hotness to the gaming world <3

I had my time with the Chinese beta. Wasn't impressed. Just another WoW clone, only using CrySomeMoreYouCan'tRunItTek Engine.

Comparing Aion to WoW is like comparing anime to looney tunes graphically speaking.

I hate to say it but people who play WoW are gonna say "OMG it's a WoW clone", people who play Guild Wars are gonna say "OMG it's a Guild Wars Clone!", and people who play PSU are gonna say "OMG it's SO MUCH BETTER than PSU!!!!"

Frankly I think Aion and WoW are apples and oranges myself, and I hate oranges.

I am, cant wait to ogle all those hot man pixels (?)

Chippendales Online here I come

(although, Im hoping Aion wont be like that hot hunk you admire and finally get a date with,
only to realize hes all looks and no substance)

Someone said on another forum compared both AION and WOW to drugs:

WOW - tylenol pm
AION - coke and hookers

why get sleepy when you can PARTYYYY w00t

Lets all be sexy in 2009 and play AION!
(...i really hope its not another vapid asian grinder...)

I already played the Chinese OB (which I made a post about some time ago), and now I'm just waiting for it to be released for the states proper.

It really is WoW with all the suck drained out of it. IMHO, anyways.

The class list on the website looks overwhelmingly generic.

Fighter-guy, ranged-guy, magic-guy, healy-guy.

What ever happened to diversity and prestige?

I was hoping to catch some more people on to kill stuff with
