Pretty much everyone who plays them still is in WoW mode, with a sprinkling of EQ/2 here and there, so unless something really game-changing appears it's pretty much "Been there, Done that".

Bioware rocks.

Here's a 20 minute developer walkthrough of the game:

I thought this video about that thought that went into the two Sith classes is telling of the quality Bioware will bring to the game:

Maybe even George Lucas can't screw this one up!

sorry that game is going to be complete and utter shit unless they go back and rework all the combat mechanics and animation which they won't because they are already showing them off which means they are more or less final, hello next vanguard.

ncSoft release a monster 2.5 update for Aion.

It's about 4GB in size and upgrades the graphics (which already were some of the best, to new heights. Game looks great.

There's also a free trial now for Aion if you want to try it out. Not much. I believe it's 3 days, 5 hours game play, or level 7. Whichever comes first.


List of changes:

Here's a well put together video with all the changes. Watch in 720P of course.
