![]() As I have mentioned with other games that I’ve reviewed here, navigation can make or break a game play experience. That’s a good thing.īut the show stopper for me is the navigation. Notice the high currency after only a little while playing the game. Apparently they want you to spend real money in the store to expand your bag. One of the problems is that the inventory is so small that you have to be careful or you will instantly fill it. And each time you right click to select an item you are tossed back to he beginning of the list and have to scroll down again. ![]() Picking up LootĮvery kill requires opening a dialog and scrolling down to pickup what you want from the kill. You are quickly at level 9 and asked to ascend before you really get started, but there are several issues that show up immediately. Game play is of course colored by the private server high exp/drop rates. I don’t have the patience to install the game on my high end desktop to determine which it is. I’m not sure whether this is the server or my laptop, but I suspect that it is my laptop. The performance on my laptop was herky jerky especially in town. I found the quests I needed when I got stuck.Īlso you need a very high end graphics card with more than 512MB of graphics memory.ĭesktop machines will fair better with this game. My laptop is 4GB, but I don’t get to use it all due to 32bit Vista memory usage, and it’s barely enough memory with the OS and Firefox to read the wiki. The client is over 1GB of memory, so less than 4GB does not cut it. I suggest you have more than 4GB of memory. I have a high end laptop that is 4 years old and it is tapped out running this game. As you can guess from the client download size, this will push modern systems to the brink. ![]() The problem is that you better have a high end, very high end, system to run this game on. Although all the environments I’ve seen are muddy and dark. But at least you can check to see if your name is available. A single word with a leading capital letter, and no spaces. There are a bewildering number of character options, mostly in body shape. Well GameZ confirms that you can have accounts with both races, so don’t worry about any pop-ups from the game that indicate that your characters will have to be moved. Apparently they did allow two races, and then they didn’t for a while, and now they do, but they soon will only allow one race per account per server. There is something funny going on at NCSoft regarding races. Once you start the game you can create a character of either race. Don’t start the program normally since it will point to the NCSoft servers. Once you install the game using the NCSoft installer, you install and start another small program which directs the program to GameZ. This is because it’s a very large client. However, it doesn’t download it quickly, but runs it into your computer over about an hours time. The install procedure at GameZ involves downloading and installing the NCSoft installer which will install the client. It takes a very long time to install the game. ![]() I’ll just be relating some of my own issues and observations after playing the game for a few hours. I won’t be doing a full review here, I’m sure you can find lots of those on the web. GameZ AION is a private server with enhanced EXP, Currency and Drop rates. However, I have found a FTP Private server. Sorry, but I’m not interested in this model. Well they apparently are greedy, and have gone with the WoW model, which is Pay for the game and then pay $15 / month. I have been watching the AION game for some time, and since it was released in this country by NCSoft, I had hoped that they would use the same model as they do with Guild Wars, which is purchase followed by FTP.
