Its a big WoW copy (nothing wrong with it though) but without the skill trees, which kinda stinks. Instead of picking one main line everyone of the same class gets the same skills that you can upgrade.

But the gameplay is good from my point of view. A tons of quest in the start, but might decline later I guess. There are some repeatable quests you can get which makes the game better.

I waited forever to get a key and when I finally get one, the game won't start!
I'm almost 100% sure that it's not compatible with Vista 64 since no games that I own is

cin · 11-05-2008, 06:14 AM

cant you open it in compatibility mode?

oh, and i've just watched all Aion trailers.
RoM looks so cheap now

Aevir · 11-05-2008, 06:29 AM

Nope tested that yesterday and it didn't work either

Richard · 11-05-2008, 07:29 AM

Aevir, try running client.exe directly from the game folder. It helped for me when I couldn't start the launcher.

CycloneZ · 11-08-2008, 12:03 PM

I don't even have the launcher xD. I downloaded the game by GamersHell and when it finished it was corrupted. Was hoping to try out my beta tester account ><.

You don't own any games that work with vista 64? If you're talking about MMO's I'm not sure but single player games, I'm playing Far Cry 2 and The Movies and I played COD4 and they work fine in vista 64. The only problem I have with Vista 64 is I can't play GameTap games because their virtualization isn't 64 bit.
