AION - advertsing and hype do miracles.

I thought it was a petrification effect like Gorgons have, where their eyes can turn you into statues.

Being turned into a literal statue looks to me to be a comical effect added to it, unless there's some actual lore to it.

But really, of all things, being turned into a statue is lore-breaking?

Really?

Also, those giant chickens are the very creatures that turn you into statues.

nyerkatrice

Its reputed magical abilities include turning people to stone or killing them by either looking at them — "the death-darting eye of nyerkatrice"[6] — touching them, or sometimes breathing on them.

You could make an argument for random abilities, but nyerkatrices are supposed to turn people into stone. It's their mythical ability.

Edit: ROFL at it censoring it into nyerkatrice. Do a Wikipedia-search for K A W K, with the right spelling-atrice

F2P mmorpg-s .. buy bot create free account you lose nothing even if banned .. free to create other account.

In SRO got : 2 lv100 ff char in 2 account, lv80 goldbots on many account ... can run 15 goldbots in clientless in an old pc .. none of them banned since 2005
In kSRO: got lv60 chars, screwed up the server gameplay by expoiting whatever I found .. GM-s found me .. not even warned.

Quit from SRO-s for Aion .. p2p is the way to go. All my sro accounts and billions of gold will just going to go to waste til database cleaning by jm.

Having maxed characters in game where everyone is afk online has no point, leveling slowly with ppl to play with is the point to play mmorpg.

Reason I give up on all F2P mmo-s ^^

both warcraft and warhammer lore are pretty nyerking generic.

Actually, Warcraft was originally created to be a Warhammer game, but the deal between Blizzard and Games Workshop fell through, so they made some minor modifications and released the Warcraft series. Warcraft is based off of the Warhammer IP.

you got a source for that?

i mean i hear that on the internet quite a bit lately, but never heard about that when warcraft was new.


original warcraft has very little in common with warhammer except having orcs humans elves and other fantasy creatures in a war.

warhammer is obviously based on the LOTR ip.

Yea, its even in a wow sourcebook somewhere. Easy enough to find, though.

Most games are, but who is actually considered the grandfather of modern fantasy? trivia time! (which author)

Warhammer 25+ years of IP
Warcraft 15 years of IP

WoW - Evil forces known as the Burning Legion ( Demons ) from another dimension invade the world
WAR - Evil forces known as the Hordes of Chaos ( Demons ) invade from another dimension invade the world.

WoW - Orcs from outer space invade and run a muck.
WAR - Orcs who are said not to be native to the Warhammer world and reproduce via fungal spores invade and run a muck.

Dark Portal (wow)= Chaos Gates (Warhammer)

WAR Dark Elves = High Elves in WoW
Night Elves = High Elves in WAR

Stormwind/Alliance Humans = The Empire
Burning Legion (wow)= Hordes of Chaos (Warhammer)

Scourge in WoW = Nagash and his army of undead in Warhammer that once invaded the Empire.

WoW - Arthas former hero of the Alliance who falls from grace
WAR - Archeon "Lord of End Times" rumored to be a former hero of the Empire who falls from grace. He succumbs to the taint of Chaos and leads the Hordes of Chaos.

God's known as the Titans in WoW = Lizardmen god's known as the Old Ones

The "Light" (paladin's god in WoW)= Sigmar Religion

[LMAO]

That's a nice looking game...

More than a few people have reported that the game's sound defaults to mono if you're running any version of Windows that is not Windows XP.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Vista+ not having Directsound anymore.

Could be the case.

Man Silkroad was such a great game back during 60/70 caps. Once 80 cap came the botting problem became serious. There was really no point in playing anymore... everyone was basically AFK botting for suns and powerleveling euro characters. There was no end game at that point... jobbing system was completely dead after that, and the only thing to do was cape pvp at dw south... got extremely boring.

[Koraya]

If you don't like it then don't play it, and go do something better with your life than troll the forums.

I have no idea, I'm not a Windows developer. Regardless of why it happens, it's a known problem and it should be fixed in the same way that graphic tearing issues and client crashes should be fixed.

vember didn't even have a source, but the best people can come up with is a blog????

that's a real source and i believe everything i read on the internet.

[DiSpLiFF]

good post man, i'm sure lots of people realize how valid it is. However i think most of the people that would fully agree with you parted ways with aion/aionsource. honestly i don't see why anyone would actually pay for this game, and i regret actually going past the beta phases.

What will be really interesting is when the game TERA comes out which is like an upgraded version of Aion. I'm curious how many players aion will still have.

You don't have to believe it if you don't want to. You seem a bit upset about the possibility of it, however.
