Is this game support Multi core / Sli set ups? To me it looks like a toned down l2 with better game mechanics. I enjoyed the hell out of L2 so I can definitely see my self playing if they do an NA release.

Yep, cryengine is optimized for multiple core and 4870x2 works like a charm, dunno about sli, but I guess there will be no problems, only problems reported so far tech wise is that it crashes a lot in WXP 64.

That doesn't surprise me, Windows XP 64-bit was basically abandoned by Microsoft. If you want to go 64-bit you want to go with Vista. Anyway, this game intrigues me, but I'm very wary of grind heavy MMOs...

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, but if this is the kind of shit I have to look forward to, I may as well forget about this game now...basically bots suck and if they are gonna be doing the kind of crap like they are in this video at 0:44, I'll never try this.

Ok I can understand being pissed about the bots that are just left on autopilot to run themselves and get loot/exp/money but a person boxing other account pisses you off? Or just the autobots(lol)?

I've about given up on an MMORPG having PvP with any long-term entertainment value, and I hope this one at least attempts to learn from past games' mistakes. Number one on the "piss your customers off fast" list is having too much crowd control, of course, and watching those videos above gave me a little hope. There are roots, knockdowns, and stuns, apparently, but they seem to be short-duration and have long cooldowns.

WAR was a monumental failure in this regard, and the mass exodus of subscribers is beyond arguing. WoW also has way too damn much CC, but its PvE game alone is enough to keep Blizzard having huge turnover of subscribers and maintaining about the same total number of paying customers.

If Aion has great PvE with tons of content, I think they'll do really great. If they also have fun PvP without overdoing the CC, I hope they get greater than WoW type numbers. Having viewed the videos of the Aion head dev about a year ago, he seems like a really sharp guy. Of course, I sorta liked the Paul Barnett (WAR) videos a year ago too, but he turned out to be a total fuckhead lying piece of shit, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

EDIT: Since many of us are following this game a lot more closely now, here's a little something I found today: Massive Gamer Magazine

The CC isn't that bad in this game

My Sorc has at level 20:

Single target instant ranged root
PBAOE instant root
Single target sleep
Single target polymorph (requires a stigma slot)
Single target snare > knockback + stun combo

Later on I'll have a ground targeted AOE snare and AOE sleep DP ability according to this skill list.

In reality it plays out much better than Warhammer due to the fact that the GCD is extremely short (.25s I'd guesstimate) so a Cleric/Chanter that is on the ball can remove a ton of CC/debuffs in a very short period of time.

What kind of options do other players have in order to get out of for example sleep/poly and roots? WoW style trinkets / innate abilities or do you have to rely on having a cleric/chanter around to help you out?

From what I have seen so far from various videos(the persepha vids among others that were linked earlier), the game looks like it could be a lot of fun.

I just did level 10-11 on my Ranger alt doing nothing but crafting. Didn't have to leave town either.

This crafting system with the job quests is pretty cool.

How long did it take?

About 4 hours I guess, I wasn't keeping track to be honest.

It's much slower than leveling normally but my Ranger can make armor and bows up to level 20 now and I got a free level out of the deal essentially.
