Other MMOs – EVE, WoW, FML and Aion?

Jul 13, 09 Other MMOs – <span class="caps">EVE</span>, WoW, <span class="caps">FML</span> and Aion?

I’m a big fan of com­puter games. I prob­a­bly spend too much time play­ing them and many may think it’s a waste of time. I par­tially agree with that state­ment, but we’re not here to dis­cuss that.

I remem­ber play­ing my first game on an old HC Spec­trum, which needed a cas­sette player to load it’s games from tapes. Com­put­ers being a sub­ject which started to inter­est me, I later started to get some courses on Infor­mat­ics. I dis­cov­ered the 286 and 386, on which I played Prince of Per­sia, Aladdin and some For­mula 1 game. Then in 1994 I got my first per­sonal com­puter, a 386 with 33 MHz proces­sor and 1 MB of RAM. It was the moment that got my hooked to any gam­ing related activities.

Fast for­ward 15 years, I dis­cov­ered MMOs. It started with EVE, con­tin­ued with Word of War­craft and with FML in-between. But lately I’ve been look­ing to widen my hori­zons and after read­ing Tobol’s review (and sev­eral oth­ers), I’m really think­ing of giv­ing Aion a shot.

If you’re like me, maybe you would like to take a look at Killer Guides lit­tle con­test. They are giv­ing away 20 beta week­end passes for Aion. All you have to do is describe in a sen­tence why should you receive one of the passes. All win­ners will also get a copy of their Aion Strat­egy Guide.

  1. I thought Aion looked good too but appar­ently, it’s pretty stan­dard as MMO’s go. It just looks nice and shiney ^^

  2. Our vents chan­nel where all the Aion play­ers were quite pop­u­lated. About 5–12 peo­ple play­ing it…not even par­tied together…but just enjoy­ing the gen­eral chit chat.

    I can go to bed at 2am and wake up for work and they’d still be online. But the game didn’t have a very last­ing appeal…think I remem­ber one of my guild mates say­ing he reached a cer­tain level and there were no more quests. Need­less to say, they’re all back to being WoW addicts.

  3. Great point, ter­rific web­site. Lis­ten, did you guys hear about Blizz want­ing to uti­lize Real ID on the com­mu­nity forum? It seems they rec­og­nized that that is no way to win at wow, because they reversed that deci­sion. Now we can all resume play­ing wow with­out stress­ing about com­pro­mised pri­vacy. And they can go back to work­ing on Star­craft. WooT!!!
