From its initial conception and release the Warcraft series of computer games have changed how gamers play. When Blizzard released the online version of the games, World of Warcraft, they experienced unparalleled success. However, opinions are starting to change.
Warcraft may be the current giant in the massively multi-player online role playing gaming world but there is a newcomer that is looking to knock it off its pedestal. A game called Aion: (also known as Aion:Tower of Eternity) is taking the online gaming world by storm. So is Aion capable of toppling World of Warcraft?
There is no question that Aion looks great. It has all the elements one would expect from this type of fantasy game. Your character wields amazing powers and uses their wings to explore the celestial virtual world around you - yes you can fly!
Aion is the baby of a Korean game developing company called NCsoft.
The premise of the game centres on a character called Aion who created a world known as Atreia. He populate this world with humans and another race that are now warring.
The game combines PvP (player versus player) and PvE (player versus environment) two types of game play available in world of warcraft. However NCsoft have combined the two and called it PvPvE.
The ability to fly in Aion makes it different from Warcraft because there you have to earn your flying mount but in Aion you can do it yourself. Flying is great but the really neat feature is that you can engage in some airborne combat!
Aion is already a huge hit in its native Korea and has even won a prestigious award. Aion is graphically very stylish and engaging. It is wonderful to look at. Its gameplay is equally well conceived and designed. This is truly a great game that will become very big all over the planet.
It is thought that Aion is going to take the world by storm in the coming months ahead. Will Aion take over from World of Warcraft? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
WoW is the biggest online game for a reason and it is always trying to improve. By releasing timely expansions, the latest being Cataclysm, Blizzard seem to be securing their market dominance.
However, with its exiting game play that easily matches WoW and its visually appealing graphics I think Aion may just give WoW a run for its money.
