In Aion, players are getting ready for the upcoming Assault on Balaurea expansion, slated to hit the servers on September 7th. While some are planning to head for the public test realms in upcoming days, others are choosing to reroll their characters and get to leveling before the new content lands. Today, we have a great One Shots and note from Format, who has recently returned to Aion, and writes in:
"[There's] nothing symbolic to what this picture shows to some people, but to me it shows a lot. I just resubbed and this time I am trying out the Elyos. This is the starter area outside of Akarios Village. Even though this game, claimed by others, has a 'low rez polygon count,' I still find it to be beautiful. This is my, for now, level 6 scout named Format. The road ahead of me looks simple and it seems that there is nothing too special about it, but just around the corner there is a whole new world of discovery. What lies ahead for this character of mine? Time will only tell, but I am eager to find out. To me, a simple picture shows a lot more than others perceive."

I'll always have fond memories of 24 hour + warbands from roaming in Warhammer Online.

Although I am currently subbed to WoW, I have Always had a real soft spot for Age of Conan. The gamplay In it is just so much fun. I mean sure it had a bad launch, but they have new people who seem to care about the game. I played a year after aoc launched, so my experience and opinion of the game was untainted.

So if Aion is considered to have a low polygon count, what game would be considered to have a high polygon count? Regardless, Aion's look was impressive, even though it didn't resonate with me. I'm glad this person enjoys the game.
Crookedladder, I've though about giving AoC another look. I wonder which server is the most populated.

Since funcom did server merges, there are only four servers now, all of them seemed to be bustling with activity. If you are just getting back into the game though, I would recommend a PvE server to avoid ganking. Just for the record my favorite class in AoC = Assassin

"What lies ahead for this character of mine?"
An epic grind, my friend.

I had no idea my picture got published. This is, actually, my 3rd one shot. Either no one really turns them in or I just got lucky. I am still enjoying this game and I look forward to the expansion. If anyone plays on Siel or Vaizel let me know. That is...if anyone is reading this =)
