And what's even funnier... Eu também sou brasileira. O.o I've never met any bellydancers in any games I've played, but I think the idea of bellydancing (especially tribal) kind of goes with the personality of a lot of female gamers, somehow. Regarding an Aion release date for us, supposedly it'll be around the second or third quarter of this year. So I guess around the time Warhammer is coming out, aroun the time Wrath of the Lich King is coming out, and probably around the time AoC will come out (I doubt they won't be pushing back the release date again, seems like the game is totally unpolished and it's currently set to 2 months from now). Supposedly there will be open beta for us, maybe around the time it'll release in Korea? I just can't wait. I feel like this could turn out to be a really bad game, but there's no way to not be excited for it. What I've seen is just so awesome.

LOL Yamê., only saw your profile now... and you´re also a bellydancer ! I wonder how many of us are in the MMORPG and gaming world in a general way !

Im sooo looking up for this , been seeing its development since I´ve first heard of it ! I think its one of the most gorgous games ever, not to mention the concept of elyos and asmodians having some similarities with the soul reaver series ... I agree with you about AoC..not too excited about it , it seems like a dead version of oblivion or something...idk...didnt do anything for me... Warhammer, well...the concept is amazing...but I must say i get continuously disappointed with the graphic quality... do anyone has ANY idea of the release date in US and Euro??? I know Korean release date is due this summer ( in northern hemisphere...) and YAY for Aion... I bet it will be my fave game ever =)

First off, HIIII! I just joined this tribe and I've never made a new post. My name is Yamê, I'm 20, I'm not too big on gaming in general (I play some stuff casually but usually the games belong to my brother or husband) but I was addicted to WoW for 2 years (from release til slightly before Burning Crusade). I haven't played an MMO since, but after over a year without WoW I really feel like playing a new MMO. So I'm sure all of us MMO watchers have been following Warhammer or even Age of Conan, or maybe the release of Wrath in WoW. I am considering all of these, but as for the first two I am disappointed with a lot of things (it so far appears to me that they are over-hyped and under-...contented? lol). As for Wrath, it sounds really good, but I'm reluctant to go back to WoW and will only do it as a "last resort," simply because I want something new! I know I know, even after BC it's changed a lot, but expansions are not enough newness and freshness for me. I need a whole different game. I don't know if I am alone in this, but for those of you who feel the same way, who want to check out a new MMO of those coming out this year, in case you feel the others are coming up short, there is one (quit ranting already!); lo and behold, AION! Most people I've told about this never heard of it. It seems like not many people know about it outside of Korea, where it's being developed by NCsoft (same as Guild Wars). It's got kind of a GW-meets-WoW aesthetic from the videos I've seen, which is pretty much what I wanted... different enough from WoW to be new, but similar enough to WoW for me to enjoy. The following things REALLY turned me on to it (with links to videos so you can see what I'm talking about): 1. graphics: game looks AMAZING! waaaayyy better than WoW (as it should be, since WoW is "old" by now), waaayyy better than videos I've seen of Warhammer, maybe not better than Age of Conan but Age of Conan is gonna be a 40gig monster with extremely high system requirements. this baby has very low system requirements to still look awesome... A "trailer:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaV3NcUtddA 2. seamless world: one of the things I most hated about GW (and hate about Age of Conan beta so far) was having to load between areas. WoW did a great job with this, having a pretty much seamless world with just loading zones into instances and between the two continents. I heard Aion will be like that as well, which really adds to the feel of the game and takes away frustration 3. flying: another thing WoW did right (though I never got to experience this since it only came out in BC). but instead of flying mounts, you will have wings. and you will get them at lvl 10. flight will be timed (and timing will increase as you level), but it's still a great concept. also, it will have flying combat. how awesome is that? Flight Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBQxhsvSgeE 4. character creation: sooooooo much customization! I was psyched for AoC partly because of this, but I like the customization of Aion better (from the videos I've seen so far). you basically get sliders for everything, so you can make your char really unique. Expanded Customization: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YSutq04u4Q Character Creation (before expanded customization was implemented): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO7IpqOemHc here you can get a better look at some different female options, but keep in mind this was before they implemented a lot of new sliders, seen on the expanded customization video above 5. awesome animations: the animations on this thing are SO POLISHED! you just gotta see them Asmodian Female Emotes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY8IkKjV1Pk 6. prettiest sceneries ever!: ok, this goes with the graphics thing but I just had to reiterate it 7. lvl 50 cap: not too high, not too low. if the leveling works kind of at WoW pace, that's roughly ideal for me. 8. lore: not as developed and complex as other games I'm seeing, but still cool enough of a concept, which puts the basic setup of the game kind of where WoW or Warhammer are. there are only 2 races, but they are separate and enemy factions. one lives in the northern continent where it's cold and dark and the other lives in the southern continent where it's more like earth. asmodians (the northern race) can have horns, weird-looking feet, and elf ears, weird skin colors, and bat wings, and the elyos look more like humans (boring!) and will have angel wings. there's a dragon race also, but this one will be unplayable. 9. class mechanics: once again seems close enough to WoW to be ideal and different enough to be new. there are the typical 4 classes (warrior, scout, mage, and healer) with 2 subclasses within each (fighter and knight, ranger and assassin, wizard and elementalist, priest and chanter, respectively) So, that's about all I know of this game right now. For all this talk and excitement, I really have no idea how good it's gonna be. It's in closed beta in Korea, and will be open by next month, but only there. It will probably release in Korea before we even get a beta in this side of the world, so bleh. But it's estimated that somewhere around the second half of 2008 we will be seeing this game over here. I am personally not into the typical oriental MMO like Ragnarok, or I dunno, Sword of the New World, or even Final Fantasy, and a lot of my friends are telling me this will be a farmer, gook MMO just like all other MMOs coming from Korea, where you will farm monsters for all eternity and there will be no endgame. But so far it doesn't look like it. I am hoping I have the right impression of this. I hear the feel and mechanics of the game is a lot like WoW, and I am hoping this is true. I hope the length of this post didn't turn anybody off (I just wanted to post as much information as I had), and that I didn't make too many typos (I am typing this in a hurry, believe it or not). If there are any questions, I probably won't know the answer but ask anyway because I might. Also if you want to see other videos and don't feel like looking for them I'd be glad to post more. Sorry to sound like a sales rep for this damn game, but it's just that from what I've heard so far it seems really perfect.
