Aion offers some "customize your AI" features, but it's not an open architecture the way WoW is.<br /><br />I think the story leading up to you gaining wings--say the first six hours of gameplay, give or take--is more compelling than WoW's Valley of Trials (clobbering the peons aside). <br /><br />If Aion isn't appealing to you by the time you've got your wings, then it's probably not the game for you.David Noonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534234306927507374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064223212095299939.post-50013544370817605712009-09-02T16:01:10.444-07:002009-09-02T16:01:10.444-07:00I got a key for the last closed beta and ran aroun...I got a key for the last closed beta and ran around as a character from each faction for like, maybe an hour.<br /><br />I need help understanding why I need to push through the initial discomfort (as a WoW-head). I liked the greater ability to cusomtize the way my character looked, but then never figured out, why I was having more fun. Tel me what level, or what zone, or what activity where I might start saying "Hey, there is some cool stuff here"<br /><br />-MorvantMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676086816415791957noreply@blogger.com
