Bay, you don't need to sneak around. 
I think we all have escorted someone out of here in the wee hours. Not...me...of course. I'm too straightlaced for those shenanigans.

I call shenanigans on your claim of lack of shenanigans.

The first Beta even weekend they had levels 1-10 of the Light race available. I missed it.
This last Beta weekend they had both races, still at levels 1-10 only, available. I got one of each of the classes I tend to like to 10 and change.
The 1st few levels are just you as a human working for whichever side you chose until you are discovered to be something more (shock and awe). You then have the campaign quests to Ascend and become a Daeva. Once that's done you choose your sub-class.
Warriors can choose Guardian (scappers) or Templar (tanks). Priests can choose cleric (healer/buffer) or Chanter (warpriest).
Standard MMO fare for quests. There are Campaign and Other quests. Campaign advance the story, Other are just that. There are also Work Order quests which I haven't been able to see yet.
You can disenchant green or better magic items and use the results to attempt to enchant other items.
The character customization is crazy awesome! Loads of body sliders, face sliders, hairstyles, and faces.
Once you Ascend you get your wings, literally. In PvP areas you can fly. In PvE areas you can glide. Not sure if the wings are full on available anywhere other than the PvP area yet.
The game runs smoothly. I have all settings but AA maxed. AA is only set at x4 rather than x8 because there's so little appreciable difference. Here's a few screenshots. Camera is zoomed waaaaay back, but even if it was zoomed it, I'm just a teeny lil Chanter in these pics. These are from the Happy-Fluffy race starting area.

I'm waiting for the next Beta Event Weekend in 2 weeks, but I'm not canceling my CE pre-order yet.

Good lord. Downloading now.
Requires the NCSoft Launcher which is only a few K. The actual client download is around 11GB if I recall.
Unless there are still websites giving out beta codes the only way to get one now is to pre-order. That said, they send you the code within a few hours and after using it you can cancel your pre-order. I did mine from EBGames.com and had no issues.

Hello, plebians.
Aion is very very pretty.
And very very vanilla fantasy MMO.
Go here, kill ten rats. Go talk to someone else who wants you to collect five gopher spleens. Rinse and repeat.
I have no doubt that once you get your wings and get into PvP things will be quite different, but I couldn't get past the 'dear lord I've done all this stuff to many times' starting areas to get to that point.

Pretty only goes so far.
I'll take good gameplay over pretty graphics each and every time.
And, as it seems the focus of the game is PvP & flying, well those are aspects I'm just not into. *shrugs*
GL with it though.
