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...

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...

Everyone knows by now, you must do a quest at level 20, in order to start using Stigma Stones. Once completed, the quest will award you your first Stigma Stone as well as 80 Stigma Shards. The shards are used as payment to the Stigma Master when you socket your stones. Once you complete the level...

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...

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…...

A very controversial issue appeared earlier today on mmorpg.com. I’m not sure about the source so I had to think twice before posting about it myself, but since it’s a very serious concern for thousands of players including myself, I can’t help it. Apparently, NCsoft decided to give...

By now you probably noticed the closed beta event 5 is over. Supposedly there was a lot of complaints about lag and ganking, however for some reason I couldn’t log in to the beta forum to see any of it myself. I do know however that gankers prevented wowfony from making the third unbiased Aion...

Thanks to spooncraft, we got ourselves several screenshots of armor sets for both factions. Those are by no means all items and, as Spooner noted they look much better in game: When you’re not fighting, your gear will look dormant, dark, normal. When you engage in combat, massive red flares of energy...

Closed Beta Event 4 just ended about an hour ago so reviews will have to wait a bit more. I only had about six hours of time to play and my screenshots folder is nearly empty, but fortunately @longasc posted nearly 70 screenshots taken during this beta weekend for you to enjoy. As he pointed out, these...

One of the most controversial topics around Aion revolves around the GameGuard software. I stumbled upon this topic today for the first time but it appears to be a serious concern for some players. It may not be of utmost importance, but I think it’s serious enough to write about it. nProtect GameGuard...

One of the blogs I frequently visit just published a post comparing Aion vs. Warhammer Online. Regardless of whether you like such comparisons or not, there are some similarities between these two games, most important probably being their focus on PvP. Keen however compared more generic features of...

There’s a lot of Aion sites and blogs popping up lately, and while it’s always a pleasure reading people’s opinions, there is one thing I noticed on many of them: plenty of links to items, quests and spells to AionArmory.com. Since it can be inconvenient to visit the website for each...
