Other MMOs – EVE, WoW, FML 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.
I thought Aion looked good too but apparently, it’s pretty standard as MMO’s go. It just looks nice and shiney ^^
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.
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!!!
