Can Aion Dethrone The King of MMOs
When NCsoft showed me a demo of their soon-to-launch, massively multiplayer fantasy game, Aion, at the E3 show, I saw a lot of reworked themes common to this fairly mature genre: A pair of at-odds races, each vying to wipe the other from their common home planet; user interface elements familiar to anyone who's played any of NCsoft's titles. But what I didn't expect was a discussion about the game's launch in Asia, which happened some months ago, and how rapidly the game has caught on and expanded in China. The big question in my mind is, could Aion pose a significant challenge to the 800 lb. gorilla that is Blizzard's World of Warcraft?
