Meet AION: Info about the Game
Well, hello again everybody!
Are you guys for my first Game Review(I hope so... hehehe)?
The first one is about one of the most antecipated games in Korea, and in the USA, of course.
Lemme introduce you "AION: The Tower of Eternity".
First things first, do you know what "AION" means?
If you don't, check it out, and enjoy the Preview.
(Oh yeah, and thanks for reading ^_^)
"Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a visually stunning massively multiplayer online role-playing game featuring cutting-edge imagery, breath-taking environments, and a unique world of fantasy. You play a pivotal role in the fate of Atreia, where flying takes on a completely new role and the enemy is not only the other player faction, but a deadly ancient evil as well."
1 - The World
You'll adventure yourself in a beautiful and stunningly world called Atreia, that was once connected by the Tower of Eternity: Aion, and was divided in half as well as many shards by an ancient catclysm. In each half of the divided world, you will encounter one of the playable factions in the game, the Elyos and the Asmodian.
2 - The Factions: Elyos and Asmodian
ASMODIAN
"The Asmodians are a brave and hardy people, separated from the Elyos by the Epic Cataclysm and plunged into a world of darkness and despair. To survive such desolation is one thing, but to thrive and prosper is quite another. The scars of their history are still exposed for all to see; as the Asmodians sank into their cold and sombre world, their bodies started to change. In the darkness, their skin fell pale, and as their eyes adapted they developed an otherworldly glow about them.
ELYOS
"The Elyos occupy the lower half of Atreia, known as Elysium. After the Epic Cataclysm, they found themselves bathed in sunlight for over 750 years and, as a result, have transformed into a beautiful and radiant people. However, their splendor has also led to the Elyos becoming arrogant; they see themselves as blessed by Aion, while the Asmodians, cast into darkness by the Epic Cataclysm, are seen by the Elyos as cursed creatures."
3 - Character Customization
Well, AION has simply the MOST PERFECT CHARCTER CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM IN THE WORRLLDDD!!! You can change the eyes color and format, hair color and style, and modify the body structure as you please. You can craft your own armor sets and use dyes to change their appearance and more.
4 - Classes
You can choose between four classes in AION, and each one has two advanced jobs, so let'slearn more about them:
Warrior
Warrior specialize in close combat, utilizing their great physical strength and prowess. They exhibit a wide range of dazzling battle skills other classes cannot perform, though Warriors are relatively easy to play.
Gladiator
A Gladiator lives and dies by the sword. They are skilled in using a variety of weapons and can master a mixture of fighting techniques tailored to the characteristics of their weapons.
Templar
The Templar acts as a guardian, fighting with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Templars can use a chant or incantation to protect and heal allies, but also serve as front line fighters.
Scout
Scouts provide the best variety of play styles of all the basic classes. They benefit from great agility and can make speedy attacks, though how well they perform varies, depending on the player. The scout is an extremely versatile class.
Ranger
Rangers are expert archers and are a natural with a bow. They are also capable of using other weapons like swords and daggers, and are adept at observing and utilizing their surroundings. They can survive in the harshest of environments.
Assassin
The assassin is an expert in silent movement and quick termination of the given target. Though not considered true warriors, Assassins are valued for their deadly skills and stealthy nature. Their skills are considered formidable.
Mage
Mages rely on their mastery of magic to deal large amounts of damage at long range. They are comparatively weak at close combat, and it is important for them to learn how to divert and evade the enemy.
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer follows the path of magic, mastering the elements of water, fire, air and earth. They channel powerful magic in combat through their understanding of the true nature of the Aether. A Sorcerer's talents have single-handedly turned the tide of battle.Spiritmaster
Spiritmasters use the power of the Spirits to strike fear in the enemy’s heart, and have the capability of summoning pets to turn the tide in combat. By all accounts, the path of the Spiritmaster is one of the more testing paths to journey.
Priest
Priests specialize in healing magic and can use long-range spells to help allies and hinder the enemy. While Priests are more than capable of engaging in melee combat, they can use healing and protection spells to aid allies in battle.
Cleric
Clerics follow the path of healing, using the power of magic to fortify an ally’s body and heal their wounds. They even have the power of resurrection, and are formidable opponents in close combat with a mace and shield.
Chanter
A Chanter’s ethos is duty and faith. Infused with a fierce discipline, Chanters use mantras to strengthen allies and raise their morale, and can grow powerful enough to affect the outcome of an entire battle.
Clerics follow the path of healing, using the power of magic to fortify an ally’s body and heal their wounds. They even have the power of resurrection, and are formidable opponents in close combat with a mace and shield.
5 - The Aerial Fight
In some MMORPGs you can fly all over the world, and sometime fight some monster in the air, in AION you can do more and better. With unique features, players will engage in exciting flying battles, attack from different angles, and test your PvP and Flying Combat skills in the Abyss, that is a zone where reality is distorted and senses are confused by a dimensional distortion.
Yaaayyy!!! My first Game Preview is now complete 
Just to remind... AION will be a p2p MMORPG by ncSoft, and don't have a date to be launched yet, it is in its 3rd Closed Beta in Korea. I really really hope that you guys enjoyed my first preview, and thank you so much for passing by ^__^
See you next time =D
Comment ( 6 )
As far as an informative collection of information goes, thank you and well done! I've been too busy to go hunting for info on this one lately, but have been looking for something just like this! Thanks again mate!
To add some 'constructive critisism' and to avoid confusion in the future, I would recommend changing a few words, as their meaning can be misleading. Firstly 'My Preview' implies that you have played the game, and are giving your personal preview of it. I would consider changing that to something like "AION Information: Insert Catchy Line here". The other one was when you referred to this as a 'Review', which it is not. Posting a review on MMOSite requires that you yourself have written the text, and generally that it is an actual review of the game from your own perspective (that was my understanding anyway :D).
Thanks again for the info mate, much appreciated. Looking forward to your review once the game is playable! ;D
