Aion Just Jumped the Shark

A sampling of their new cash shop:   And my personal favorite… Yes, that’s a chainsaw. An angel wielding a chainsaw. Can you at least train Logging with it? I haven’t played the game in a long time due to the let-down that was the Abyss. Tell me, is this the cash shop of a …

Aion: … wow, just wow.

Have you guys had a chance to see the new Aion Vision trailer? NCsoft is touting this youtube video as the future of Aion and, if it all plays out, there’s a lot of hope for the game. I mean, really. They’re taking things to the next level. Here, have a look. Here’s the TL;DR …

Let’s talk about the problems with Aion

Since criticizing Aion seems to be all the rage, I think it’s about time that I toss my hat into the ring with the issues I’ve seen and foresee as problems. I’m not writing this post in agreement with anybody because, frankly, I don’t agree with a lot of the doom and gloom people are …

Overthrowing the Black Claw in Aion

Yesterday was a pretty lucrative day for me in Aion. I started the morning right on the edge of 17. I had something like 20k experience left until I leveled up and a quest log full of enough quests to clutter the right side of my screen. I don’t know whether I’m getting a lot …

The first day of Aion in retrospect

Even though I was stuck at work for far too long yesterday, I was still able to spend a decent chunk of time in game when I got home. I arrived home at about 9PM EST and was able to login to the Lumiel server by 11:30. That was the worst part of the experience, …

Aion: Server queues or consolidations?

The Aion head start began today as of 3pm EST. Trumpets blared, banners were dropped, and courts across England exploded in applause. And even though I was (and still am) at work, I couldn’t help but peek into the interwebs a little bit to see how things were going. From the sound of it, things …

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. That’s all well and good except for when people spread little bits of misinformation left and right. The current doom and gloom is all about endgame PvP. Some people would have …

Thoughts and images from Aion’s open beta

I had a chance to log in to the open beta twice since they’ve opened the doors. My experience has, so far, been very good. Since I’d played in the Chinese version, I wasn’t expecting too much different from what I’d already experienced but as someone who’s been following the game pretty closely, I had …
