Me playing Aion (13:10)

Since I'm actively playing in the Aion beta right now, I can tell you that Aion is already at least as polished as WoW was in Closed Beta. Aion also have many new features that WoW does not have. It is incredibly fun, detailed (not just graphic-wise, but oh so many other things) and it seem to have a lot of content polished and ready already. Yet... it's still in a closed beta phase with an NDA that is not enforced. Basically, the Aion development team also realise what a good game Aion already is, so that is why they don't bother enforcing the NDA is my guess.

I'm so impressed by how well designed Aion is. Everything meshes up nicely. There will always be concerns and issues, however, Aion is the only MMO I've seen come close to the polish and creativity + not to mention FUN that World of Warcraft seem to give so many players. While games such as Lineage 2 had fun aspects, it also had many flaws. Aion is a "next-gen" MMO in my eyes due to how they really have improved, learned and adapted from previous mistakes and successes and polished it even further + added new groundbreaking features.

World of Warcraft took from many other games and polished and improved upon it. Aion takes it a step further.

If Aion was to be released right now - it would do damn good. But since it won't be out for awhile, they have even more time to further enhance the game. So when it's ready to be released, it won't be damn good. It'll be superb. Excellent, better then sliced bread. You name it.

I've played many MMO's and I am picky. It's very easy for me to notice if the developers of a MMO title have that 'little extra' and Aion's development team does have just that. Comparing development teams is like comparing mushrooms with oranges. I hate mushrooms but oranges are great. =). Or how about comparing a new car with an old one. Or aliens with Swedish girls? Exactly.

My point is (and it's backed up with facts and personal experience and experience from others too, no rumors or assumptions) is that Aion is incredibly well polished, well designed and it only keep on improving.
