As I’m sure, if you currently play Aion, then you have no doubt seen the Aion Customer Support In Game Questionnaire, which was available yesterday 9/29/09.  So since this is a current “Hot button” topic… Let’s poll this: Should personal stores be removed? Keep them, but alter the conditions No, Personal...

The first of undoubtedly many upcoming changes is one which should hopefully put an end to the extensive abuse of private stores as a means to stay online and avoid disconnects. A timer of 30 minutes will be implemented to prevent these shops from being abused as a means to prevent disconnection and alleviate queues. The servers will be down for about...

Although I did rather like the idea to start with, yet this Author is resending his approval of NCSofts addition to Aion’s Character Personal Stores.  Here’s why: Now, I’m sure I am being unreasonable.  Now that Aion is live, I wonder how much more difficult this is going to be.  I have walked my character past people hiding behind buildings,...

In a recent news post several details were revealed about the Aion launch version. Most notable is no doubt the decision to strip GameGuard from it. As many of you noticed GameGuard caused more than a few problems during the open beta for countless players. It was mentioned awhile ago GG will be either improved or removed before launch, and it looks...

NCsoft has put up an official worldselect poll up on SurveyMonkey for Aion. According to most sites, the current pull is for Lumiel the unofficial RP world because NCsoft didn’t appear as though they were going to arbitrarily pick one. However some noted Warhammer Online gamers from Phoenix Throne (the biggest and only official RP server) have...

The shards are used as payment to the Stigma Master when you socket your stones. Once you complete the level 20 Campaign quest for your faction that leads to your...

Spiritmasters have finally something to rejoice about. From what I can tell in the video below, their pets will finally be able to fly with their masters and fight their foes in the air. A very exciting feature which I’m sure will make many of you happy. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any official word about it, the only proof is the video...

There are many options within Aion. Most all are aware of the near indefinite customization of the character creation screen.  Further that, do you become Elyos or Asmodian?  Are you male or female?  Which path of the character classes do you follow?  Which sub class?  Do you prefer the speed questing of solo-questing or chunk EXP questing in groups? ...

We’ve all heard it.  Fanboy this, Fanboy that.  “Aion sucks!”  “So and so game is far better!” Lets start with Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, since this seems to be the stick to measure up. WoW was not the first MMO, but was the first to cross market it… made it appeal to fantasy people, kids, nerds, Lore...

A new patch hit the servers today. There’s 650MBs of new stuff, and not a lot of time to test it out so read the patch notes below and login for the 6 additional hours of beta. Open Beta Notes Login and server select lag should be resolved.  This is one of the major reasons for pushing this update to ensure it is resolved for live. The mouse...

From the author of two “unbiased” reviews  I posted here and here comes the third part. It was actually published several weeks ago but it slipped under my radar: I thought I subscribed to wowfony’s updates but I guess I was wrong. I must admit the third vid is not as entertaining as previous two but I still recommend you watch it....

NCsoft published a list of Aion servers at game launch for both NA and EU regions. I’m slow on reporting this news but better late then never. NA servers West coast: Ariel Kaisinel Nezekan Siel Vaizel Yustiel East coast: Azphel Israphel Lumiel Marchutan Triniel Zikel All west coast servers will be GMT-8/PST and east coast GMT-5/EST....
