Played around a little this evening in the Beta for the upcoming AION MMO game from Ncsoft. This is another fantasy based MMO, much like Everquest or WOW - to a degree. Only played for maybe 45 minutes so far. Reminds me of the look of Everquest II quite a bit. Anyway, the servers were lagging a bit but here are some screenshots. I made a female mage and blasted stuff for a bit. I'll put the link below to the Beta info. You do need to get a beta key from File Planet or elsewhere to play. I signed up for File Planet for one month for like $6.95 to get my key. Anyway, thought some folks might be interested.

How are you finding this Rico? I haven't been paying much attention on account of this being yet ANOTHER fantasy MMO. Is it really WoW-like in gameplay?
I only played a little of the beta and it didn't grab me enough to try the full game that is out now. Still enjoying WOW quite a bit. And Mark is back playing with me on WOW via Recruit a friend (ahh - triple exp!)
Yeah, I realized I didn't have the time for Eve (to play it properly at least) and Champions Online is fun...but I see it getting old for me very soon.
I sense my WoW break coming to an end very shortly.
