Ok, Broken Sword told me about this game and I looked it up...and WOW! This is really a huge step in MMORPGs. It has AMAZING graphics, and a completely free world! You have 2 playable factions: Elyos (Angels), and Asmodians (Demons). Either way, you have a set of wings, with which you can fly around in (as seen if u click here).

There are also 8 playable classes: Fighter, Knight, Ranger, Assassin, Wizard, Elementalist, Priest, and Chanter.

I hope that it comes out soon, official beta testing starts on July 31st, and the game should come out at the end of the year. Official Euro Site: http://eu.aiononline.com/en/home/

That game looks awesome. Can't wait to get it when it comes out.
I would have to be a ranger that would own.

Looks sweet. My friend showed it to me a month ago. Wonder what it will be like once its done.

Adding more info:Classes:

School of Warriors

Fighter

Fighters are flexible in their choice of weaponry. They're able to wield many kinds of close-combat weapons depending on the situation. Their combat style is comparatively easy to learn. This isn't to say that it is an easy class to master. With some flair they can outshine even the fanciest damage-dealing classes.


Knight

It's unfortunate that in most MMO games the tank is conceptually attractive but not so fun to actually play. The classes in Aion are classic in some ways, but they all have their quirks that make them stand out from the archetype. With the Knight, players will see different shades of the class as it absorbs more and more damage. It's truly a different sort of tank melee class.


School of Scouts

Ranger

Ranger is a utility class with many tricks up its sleeve, such as laying traps and sniping from afar. It's a well-rounded class with melee and ranged skills as well as an ability to heal itself. Careful assessment of the situation is needed for a ranger to shine, for its many abilities can as easily get in the way for an unskilled player.


Assassin

We can more or less sum up the assassin class with the words: watch your back! Big damage within a short span of time - that's what the assassin is all about. However, to get that proper use out of an assassin, swift positioning is extremely important.


School of Mages

Wizard

A wizard is a powerful magic class with deadly nuking skills, but also extremely fragile up close. A wizard might prefer to be in a party for survivability but with some care it could also be a fast solo class.


Elementalist

An elementalist is not your ordinary summoner. As the name suggests, their tool of trade are the elementals that they manipulate at will. Get intimate enough with the elementals and you might very well become one.


School of Clerics

Priest

Priests are, of course, the masters of recovery. They posses many healing skills to aid their kin, but that's not all. With a solid set of skill combinations and a number of melee skills they may surprise you in the right situation.


Chanter

As a cleric, chanters can also heal to a certain extent, but their specialty is in mysterious chants that boost the morale of nearby players. They're also known for effective melee skill combinations and all-around usefulness. It should be an attractive class for those that like to do it all.

There are more classes to be announced. The classes listed above are for the Elyos. The Asmodians, and the Asmodian classes will be announced at a later date.

I found a website with some great videos. The graphics look bad in these because its beta, but they're a great ay to get a look at the game:
