Now, I get to sit and wait for Sunday! During the pre-select period (today until the head start begins on Sunday) you’re able to reserve two names and play around in the character creator. I had a good time with it but, I have to admit, the experience was a little bittersweet knowing that that’s …

Clearing up the “Aion doesn’t want you to PvP” rumor
As the launch of Aion looms ever closer, more and more people are coming out of the woodwork to voice their opinions on it.
