I recently started playing several different MMO's. As most people know, I've been on LotRO for close to a year now, just a couple of months shy, and I stay in my little cubby hole on Windfola, away from prying eyes where things are quiet.
More recently, I started branching out into other games, most of them not exactly new, but just to spread my wings a little to prevent LotRO burnout, which happens from time to time if I don't spend some time away from my beloved world.
I've recently started, or rather, attempted to start playing three different games. The kindness from one of my friends gave me a Preorder Aion account, and that has been a good bit of fun so far. I'm currently playing it with two of my kinmates from LotRO, and we decided it would be a one-off type game, where we only subscribed on months we know we will be playing it.

Character Creation: The system of character creation is complex, allowing you to fully morph everything from facial features to body size and dimensions. The only thing it lacks is any ability to more detailedly customize one's hairstyle, instead giving you a large number of preset styles to choose from. Many of the styles are elaborate, decorated, and quite nice, for both males and females, with several hairstyles being shared between the two genders.
There are actually only two races in the game, the Asmodai, and the Eylos. Despite what would seem like an obvious limitation to creativity with only two essentially human races, their character customization is so expansive that it is very easy to actually tell people apart purely on visuals without ever looking at their names. Those who are a fan of the more traditional fantasy races, Halflings, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, even Ogres, will find that it is easy to make a unique looking race in the style you'd like, with just a few clicks and tweaks of their system. Something that you don't find in most MMO's and is a welcome and refreshing change.
