Since the early 1990s Warcraft has enjoyed amazing success and a growing number of fans. When Blizzard released the online version of the games, World of Warcraft, they experienced unparalleled success. However, opinions are starting to change.
In the world of online gaming a relatively new game is taking the MMORPG (massively multi-player online role playing game) genre to new heights. The Korean developed game Aion is set to take the online role playing to a whole new level. With its crisp visual imagery, engaging story and seamless play can Aion really compete with World of Warcraft for the title of biggest MMORPG?
There is no question that Aion looks great. It has all the elements one would expect from this type of fantasy game. Your character wields amazing powers and uses their wings to explore the celestial virtual world around you - yes you can fly!
The game was developed in Korea by the developer NCsoft.
The premise of the game centres on a character called Aion who created a world known as Atreia. He populate this world with humans and another race that are now warring.
Ncsoft have created the game to be an environment where a player must pit his wits against other players and against the environment. Warcraft players will recognise this as PvP and PvE. However, in Aion it is called PvPvE.
The great thing about Aion is that you do not need to bust a gut getting a flying mount - you can fly from the start! Having the ability to spread your wings and take to the air is a great part of the game but it gets really interesting when you get into an aerial fight!
Having won Korean Game of the Year Aion is set to take the rest of the world by storm. It is very visually appealing with excellent game play and seems to combine the best of several different styles of MMORPGs.
With its smooth gameplay and awesome graphics Aion will certainly cause a storm in the gaming world. Is it going to be the next big thing? Who knows for sure.
World of Warcraft has a following of 11 million and never rests on its laurels. With the expansion pack "Cataclysm" Blizzard have worked hard to develop the game further and add extra game play.
I would not entirely rule out the possibility that Aion could give WoW a run for its money though. It really is that good of a game!

Entering the Top Levels For WoW Raiding
Everyone knows that there are a multitude of benefits from raiding in world of warcraft. However, to raid you need to be part of a raiding party and to do that you need a guild. A mistake many new players make is to petition the tops warcraft guilds for admission. This is never going to happen. You must first find a lower level guild that better suits the level and proficiency of your character.
It is true that all the glory lies in joining a top guild. However, long before you become the World of Warcraft's greatest raider or PvPer you must first "serve your time" in a lower ranked guild. Here you can gain experience, improve your character and your stats and build up a solid reputation that you can use to gain entry into the higher level guilds!
Even in a lower ranked guild you can learn a lot. By raiding in groups within your guild and gaining experience form PvP with guild members you can level up much more quickly than you would otherwise.
Making yourself a valuable and desired member of a raiding party or PvP group will bring you to the attention of higher ranked groups.
Do not waste your time (and theirs) by applying for the highest ranked guilds just yet. You must be able to prove your worth as a guild member before you will even be considered by this top guilds. You must keep in mind that groups in these guilds are so skilled that they make real money in the real world by entering things like PvP competitions.
A good guild will help you grow by keeping an eye on your progress. So you can see that the very best guilds want players who are already established and skilful.
When you begin your search for a guild it is OK to be ambitious. However, please ensure that you have something to offer that guild as well as ensuring they can help you either gain experience, or levelling points or power up items.
Always join a good raiding party as quickly as possible. A Pick-up Group (PuG) is a great way to develop the skills you need in PvP and raiding. Once you develop your skills to a higher level you can join a better guild and continue building your skills.
Don't be afraid to stretch yourself. Although you should not aim for a top guild when you first start, do not be afraid to go for a well established guild. Try to get a place in a solid and well established raiding party or PvP group. You can learn a lot from the members of that group and all parties involved can benefit greatly from the co-operation.

You Should Have More Than One Character in WoW
If you enjoy playing world of warcraft then you probably have more than one character. There are very few players, however, who take full advantage of this opportunity to have several characters. Even dedicated players will only have two or three characters that they use. Although this is normal and a great way to enjoy the game by focusing all your efforts of levelling just one character having 10 characters can really help you and your guild and group members in the game!
There are many advantages to having more than one character available to you in the Warcraft World. Firstly, having several characters to play with allows you to experience different aspects of the game by understanding different races and different classes.
With the many different pros and cons for different races and different classes it can really be an eye opening experience to try them all out. Experimenting with different character types can allow you to fully experience the benefits and drawbacks to certain races and classes.
You can then get a more well rounded view of the whole of Azeroth. You can also move goods around between your characters making it easier to level up faster or complete some troublesome quests or for PvP purposes.
If you are a Horde member you can try out an Alliance character and vice versa. This is a fantastic way to learn more about your enemy and also see the game from a completely different perspective.
You can also choose secondary characters that are advantageous to your group or guild. If you take the time to build up a few characters with different skills and abilities you can become indispensable to your group or guild. You never know when it would be a good idea to change character when a group you are in requires skills that you have deliberately developed in another character.
In battle this gives you an almost unfair advantage. If you have a particular problem with certain character or class types start a secondary character of that type and battle with it to learn its weaknesses!
Of course there are also disadvantages to having multiple characters.
Time is always an important factor and this can be a pain when you have to split your time between characters. It can also cost a lot.
Although you can transfer certain things between characters there are certain items that bind to one character and cannot be transferred. This is the same with reputation.
Once you consider the advantages and the disadvantages you will most likely agree that having multiple WoW characters is very beneficial to you and your friends in world of warcraft.
Do you want to be the envy of other WoW players by having 10 level 80 characters? Then read about the amazing zygor guide that can be used to level up a character from 1 to 80 in less than a week. In addition you can also max out any WoW profession in just 1 day with the secrets in the jewelcrafting guide!
