This is Aion

Yeah, end game WAR killed my system. I haven't played end game Aion yet, but quest areas run just fine. I exceed minimums on RAM and video card, but am under minimum for CPU.
 
I'll give it a shot when a trial comes out. It will probably be Jan before I can pick it up with Dragon Age, Daughters B-day, and all the holidays coming up lol. The video from a wow players perspective was alot better then the one posted here by the way. I cringed when he had mentioned the xp loss on death because of my horrid experiences from everquest with that same mechanic. (It's one of the reasons Blizzard went with the no xp loss). Anywho I still think it has an anime'ish look to it. I mean some of those npc's reminded me of playing pokemon back in the day lol. All in All it does look like a must try if not a must buy.

Oh man you mentioned Dragon Age!!! I have been following that for years and cant wait!. I just don't know if I should try it on my 360 via big screen HDTV or my PC with weak video-card but access to community addons... Choices choices..
 
Its not all that bad when you die.. it only costs a little bit of kinah to get the xp back and no worries.. and if you only die a couple times a day
which is very doable for most classes, or your a chanter who never dies..LOL ftw! you are are not paying much at all compared to how much your making...
pretty much by selling a couple misc items to the vender , you will have just covered your xp regain.. easy as that!!!

Plus there is no repair bills..

and in PvP death you can get all the XP back for 1 kinah.

However you can play a grip of cash in PvE if you arent paying attention. I died 4 times in this one area and had a 30k kinah soulheal. That hurt!
