Since Tube is horrible and slow and I may or may not be doing this with the flu, at work.
That's a horrible question. You're pretty horrible for asking it. You're already the most horrible person ever for even thinking about looking up any information about this game.
Once connected by the Tower of Eternity, Atreia was sundered by an ancient cataclysm. On your journey to bring salvation to the world, your character will traverse the inner surface of Atreia, exploring lush lands, floating islands, chaotic voids, and many other amazing vistas.
Each half of the shattered world is inhabited by one of two playable divine factions: the Elyos and the Asmodians. Isolated by the Cataclysm that broke Atreia apart, each side has brooded for centuries on the catastrophic events of the past. Their hatred for each other has only intensified.
Many centuries after the Cataclysm, fragments of the destroyed Tower began to float mysteriously in the air, and investigations revealed unstable portals that opened into a dimension of darkness and wonder where fragments of the Tower drifted. This place was named the Abyss. Within the Abyss, the once-lost power of flight is now commonplace. The Abyss is where Elyos and Asmodians contend to fight an epic battle for supremacy.
As the Elyos and the Asmodians uncovered new, more stable portals to the Abyss, they encountered a primeval terror that they had known only in storybooks: the Balaur. Banished to an unknown dimension during the Cataclysm, the Balaur are the ancient enemy of all the peoples of Atreia. The Balaur's continual war on humanity led to Cataclysm. Now they have returned, the survival of both races and Atreia itself is more uncertain than ever.
Basically some whores had some whore planet and they had a fight with whore demons and they broke the world.
Now there are good fanciful angel asshole whores named the Elyos, and Emo brooding dark dark Drizzit whores named the Asmodians. They fight each other. And the Whore demons(Named the Balur) fight everybody! It's just one big old fasioned cockle of whores!
Fuck you I got the flu I can use the word whore as much as I whoring whore please whore.

Classes
There are 4 starting classes that differentiate at level 10 into 8 more classes (you can't remain a base class, sorry).
Warriors -> Templar or Gladiator
Scout -> Ranger or Assassin
Mage -> Sorcerer or Spiritualist

Wat?
Ok. To break it down (stolen from Transporter, clicky for more info)(Transporter:Yes I am stealing from someone stealing from me):

The School of the Warrior:
Gladiator
Best Description: Gilgamesh.
Alternate description: Mortal Strike Warrior who can wield a shitton of different weapons, and somtimes a sheild but they suck at it, for that is not MANLY. Good armor, good offensive capabilities.

School of the Scout:
Ranger:
Best description: HAAAHAHAHA FUCKYOU MAGES

Assassin

Alternate description: A blend of WoW Rogues, and Final Fantasy XI's theif class. If you expose your back to them, you're fucked unless you're not a high armor class. Highest Meele DPS in the game, but also the most fragile.
The School of the Mage
Sorcerer:
Best description: HA I HOPE YOU HAVE BURN HEALS
ALternate Description: Glass Cannon. All is well with the world.

Best Description: Wait this isn't FF XI

Do you really have to ask, really? Healbitch, rolled by girlfreinds who are dragged into MMO's everywhere.
Chanter:
Best Description: YOU SPOONY BARD!
Alternate Description: A Priest, kind of, with, who loves to moonlight seedy bars on the weekend singing. Buffs/moderate heals all up ins. And you want their buffs, they are SO GOOD

it looks okay at least
Ended up canceling my preorder.
For a game that had been out for over a year in another country, it sure didn't play like it.
want to get it, not sure if I can justify a fifteen dollar a month timesink though
It's very pretty.
I ain't payin no fiddy for it though
Might be back to AoC for me
Don't know if it plays at all well, but looking at it
goddamn
But with MMOs, I just want them all at every moment
the game itself is pretty standard so far, but it's fucking beautiful
Personally stoked for FFXIV though
SO
STOKED.
and not as linear as either one, but still pretty linear
the newbie island is basically like going through a tunnel
there will probably never be a WoW killer
I was thinking of playing at least until I got into PVP but then someone told me it was at level 25 and I was all "haha, nope, not doing this."
ended last night.
I am pretty sure nothing is as goddamn hardcore as Lineage 2 and nothin' ever will be
also you are just referrring to the art style!
This of course will only be topped if the game actually awards and progresses the story or character's skills by doing so.
Saying an MMO is pretty grindy is like saying an FPS is pretty shooty.
also the first levels aren't that bad, I did 1-10 in a few hours over a couple nights. wasn't really tedious either, I was just having fun running around doing quests
course the only mmos I've put any sort of time in have been FFXI (which I never made past 19) and EVE, which I played for a month or two
I thought he was all about this game.
At level 18 or 19 you completely run out of soloable content so be prepared to group up with pugs if you don't have a good guild, err sorry "legion." The upside is everyone else is stuck at that level and needs to group up too, the downside is 90% of them have no idea what the hell they are doing.
This game is very east meets west as far as MMOs go, my only fear is there isn't enough west in it to keep the western audience playing. WoW has become the gold standard and a lot of people will be expecting it to have all the nice little touches WoW has, but it lacks some of the things that make WoW, especially post Lich King WoW such a good game.
I will shoot other players.
He's whacking off to the thought of the game while trying to get me to buy the game and roll a cleric.
Having tried the open beta, I still remain unconvinced
come kill mans with me and hunter and transporter
wait
what are you talking about
This alone has made me want this game more than anything else.
Dear SE++,
Come play Aion with Hunter, Transporter and I so we can kill faggots that decide to roll Elyos.
I just want a heal bot.
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
no not really
spiritmaster or assassin i think
I'm biting the bullet and rolling Cleric instead. I don't think I'm ready to be a DPS class yet, nor can I fathom shaking off my 13-year title of "heal bitch".
