Yes, it’s a big thing, to answer that nagging question, “What’s the big deal with Aion coming out on top?”, doing the rounds of your noggin. Well, if the news means nothing to you, it simply means you don’t know about the friendly competition between online games developers in China and those in Asian MMORPG capital South Korea.
I remember publishing an article on MMOtaku that detailed an escalating industry “war” between massively multiplayer online games developers in the two countries.

First off, I’d like to thank MMOtaku’s avid readers, those who visit the blog every day, those who come and go for a dose of MMORPG news, reviews and what-have-yous, and those who have dropped in just to …read more

I know I’m taking a big risk by making such a sweeping statement based on a trailer, but if EYEDENTITY Games can pull off what they’re showing in Dragon Nest previews in the actual game, then they’ve got it made.
Again, based on the trailer, Dragon Nest combines two of the most important elements of an MMORPG in today’s world: fast-paced action and stunning graphics. I better just shut up and let you watch the trailer that inspired my statement:
Now tell me that Dragon Nest isn’t set to take the throne. It really isn’t a surprise why Dragon Nest looks so …read more
