I just started up Aion after buying it at launch and pretty much shelving it cus I was getting fed up with the server ques and what not...

But it's surprisingly fun, even if I have to play with all the graphic settings turned down cus my computer is old and struggling lol. I made an Asmodian priest and got to lvl 7 last night (when u get the first priest chain attack). It's an OK feature from what I can tell, I don't revel in combat so I'm pretty much waiting till I get higher up and become someone's heal bitch lol.

The Abyss looks amazing as hell from the little 'glimpse of the future' cut-scene you get. Goth-chic characters with black wings= the win. But aside from aesthetic appeal it looks genuinely fun to be about to fly free form and fight in a 360 degree space.

I'll save all my judgments for when I actually get down there (or is it up there? the whole split world thing is a bit confusing).
