"As the Daevas dream, they see Atreia's future." Just in case there was one person left out there who didn't find Aion to be a visually stunning game, NCSoft released a nine minute gameplay trailer last night entitled "Visions of the Future". The trailer was presented on the official forums and greeted with a storm of "OMG".
Upgraded graphics improved the appearance of an already beautiful game, but that wasn't the thing that caused the excitement among Aion fans. An extensive look at player housing offered samples of available exteriors and interiors, as well as furnishings. And for the remaining fans who hadn't begun salivating? Mounts. In fact, seen here and there were what appeared to be flying mounts, as well as a dinosaur. The first half of the video was rounded out with clever aerial camera work designed to highlight changing seasons over gorgeous landscapes, and promises of swimming.
The video rounded out with an aptly named segment of "Pulse-pounding battles", both aerial and ground-based. Fire-breathing dragons, huge allies summoned from beneath the ground, and what one fan described as "awesome nuking" completed the picture.
A "never ending challenge", promises the end of the trailer. Take a look for yourself after the jump and see if you agree.

I re subbed immediately upon seeing this. Although I dont enjoy the leveling as it is now I want to support this game and this vision and choose to keep this sub open only to spite Blizzard and WoW. I hate what they have done to the genre including bringing so many first time players into it who will now forever think everything has to be like WoW.
I dont even plan on playing but they can keep charging my card because I believe in their vision and hope that this may be the game that makes a new standard for MMO creation.

I hope to god that they remove the Abyss. No offense but I really wanted to enjoy the world rather than some empty space.

THis has been the most annoying game to play EVER...
When i first tried wow bout 4 yrs ago, it ran smooth as butter.... A couple more p2p's and a dozen 'f2p''s later.. none of which I have had any problem logging into, comes Aion to ruin the day.
1/30 attempts to log in are succesful(without the incredible lag).
Wish aion the best... it is teeming with possibilities as this trailer proves and it definitely looks awesome.
