The Spirit of Aika is conflict carried out through PvP.A good fight makes this world go ‘round, and in this dev diary we’ll be discussing three of Aika’s most challenging PvP events.

PvP is the core element to everything you do in Aika.Aika is built around a large scale player vs player model, in which players form guilds, guilds form alliances, and alliances form nations that do battle against each other. There are three PvP events that can change an entire nation’s political landscape: Castle Siege, the Relic War, and the Altar War.

Castle Siege pits comrades against each other over the right to power.In each nation there is a bastion of power called the Lakian Fortress.Each week, a new rebellion arises as guilds rally to take the castle from the ruling alliance and their Lord Marshal

I had my eye on Aika ever since it was announced on gPotato. The idea of having a 1000v1000 war was just... -drool- oh sorry; but yeah, the idea of that was just amazing. Sadly, after open beta started I was unable to play since there was something wrong with my Aika after I loaded my character. BUT! After I got a new hard drive I was psyched to find out that my Aika worked. And thus, began my fabulous journey. No, I'm kidding >.> but yes! I started playing.

I flew through the lower levels and ended up around level 40 on my dual gunner (I made a cleric after). There is an abundance of quests that will keep you busy until you level

Aika is a free to play MMO that specializes in PvP battles, particularly massive PvP battles involving lots of players.  It may seem odd why one who  doesn't really like to PvP would even start to play and continue playing this game.  Honestly, I started this game because a friend of mine was playing it and convinced me to try it.  However, even though my friend has since moved on, this game is still fun enough that I still log in to play almost everyday.

Technical
The graphics in this game are relatively pretty.  The details are good and there are many environments ranging from a rainy dreary battlefield all the way to a bright sunny desert.  Movement is mostly via the keyboard but the mouse may also be used.  As this game is still very new, there are st

In times past, difficulty levels for dungeon-crawling were limited to 3 settings: Normal, Hard, and Elite.  Once intrepid Aitan had conquered Normal and gone back for more punishment and better drops in Hard and Elite mode, it seemed they had no more challenges awaiting them in the Zantorian Citadel.  Well, hold on to your Helmets of Abyss, folks, because all of that’s about to change.

Presenting … ZANTORIAN CITADEL HELL MODE!

Better loot and badder monsters.  Are you up for it?

- Minimum Level Requirement: Level 50

Unlike Normal, Hard, and Elite mode, Hell mode can only be accessed by players of level 50 and above.  Tell your guildmates to start grinding!

- A Hell Mode a Day …

The other dungeon difficulty modes are not restricted in the number of times they can be attempted per day, but not so Hell mode.  Leaving a Hell mode dungeon means you won’t be able to enter ag
