;) hehehehe I know Jaz!

Well... Outside of appearance, as a soldier irl, I have to side with the Asmodians when it comes to their side of the story on what happen :) I also, absolutely love snow zones in any game. I like snow irl (as long as I don't have to drive in it) There's a sadness involved with the asmodians vs the elyos that for me, is deeper in story and really want to explore and advance that story-line in game. I feel like they are the mis-understood bad guys :)

Overall I guess I am saying, I like their lore over the arrogant Elyos lore ;)!
 
Oh yeah...

and my eyes glow red in battle :P! So bad ass *_*

Elyos aren't arrogant at all! I read both sides of the Lore and it sounded to me like the Asmodians, especially what's his face.. the warmongering Asphel, ruined a potentially good peace conference with the Balaur. I mean even amongst Asphel supporters, Lady Siel sided with Israphel's decision for peace. You can't stop killing of innocents with more killing which is why Israphel made the decision for the peace treaty, but your boy Asphel saw it different and sabotaged something great. I dunno.. sounds a bit shady to me.

Can't just kiss and make up 1,000 years of war :)! Especially, when the enemy has the kind of history it does. You can't trust a potential, power hunger, history of betrayal ally like that.

I think it will be funny though in the Abyss. We will all be fighting each other, and then when the Balaur roll in, we will all fight together for a chance or get utterly face stomped.
 
With the amount of interest there seems to be in this game, I really hope there ends up being more than 12 servers if not at launch, relatively soon thereafter. Any idea what the max population was for each server? At one point I was sitting in a login queue a la Warhammer.

I read somewhere stating these new NA servers should be able to handle 5000 concurrent users online with no issues. I'm not sure how reliable that source information is since it didn't come from NCsoft themselves though. I doubt the login queue crap we experienced will hit retail since this is beta and who knows what "tweaks" NCsoft was fooling around with.

Better them start off with a low-mid number of servers than make too many like WAR did :(

True. Rapid population loss contributed to the issues with Warhammer's servers too though. Hopefully Aion can sustain us a little longer than WARs shallow gameplay did. I don't mind spending 10 minutes waiting to log in if the game is worth playing long-term.

I fully agree with you.
 
Who wants to be a pretty boy anyway? Asmo's aren't all shiny and fluffy, we're straight up brutal and bad-ass. lol

I'm going Asmo at launch for sure, but that doesn't mean I won't try an Elyos out on a different server. For me, since I haven't really read any of the lore yet, my choice is based on appearance, not just of the characters themselves, but the special armor types and weapons. In that respect, Asmo's just look so much more like they're going to kick a face in.
 
Is it like WoW where you can't have both races on the same server? Also, how many people make up a typical party and raid? Whatever the number, here's hoping they're not all boring tank and spank fights.

Apologies if I missed some newbie FAQ somewhere that answers all these questions.

You can create a char as an asmodian or elyos on the same server. They are sworn enemies and most Legions frown down upon those who play in opposing Legions on the same server. A party consists of 6 people. I'm not sure what the max number of people there is in an alliance but I know it's at least 24 people.

Must be some 'MERICAN version thing. Chinese open beta wouldn't allow you to create characters from both sides on the same server. It even had this big "ARE YOU FUCKING SURE?!" pop up notification.

yeah, that's what people were talking about before the first Closed Beta event, but that debate was resolved once the servers were up and allowing people to create chars.
 
I read somewhere they only allowed you to create both elyos and asmodian on the same server during the beta events.

WAR worked like that during beta. You could pick both an Order and Destro toon to run on the same server.
 
This looks like WoW with better graphics.


And wings.
