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 …

My early Aion review
Aion’s been out for about a week now and people all over are posting their impressions. As a fan, I think it’s only fitting that I post mine. A little caveat before we skip the potatoes and hit the meat: I’ve played Aion for some time but I’ve yet to hit the Abyss or any …
Prediction about WoW’s armory
Within the next three months, the armory will be updated to allow you to view the status of your auctions and check your mail. Why? Because Aion has it. Nevermind that players have asked for it forever. Aion has it, so Blizzard, much like number one, will make it so. Two games that take the …
The problem with grouping
For the longest time, I wasn’t a fan of grouping. I played solo, talked in guild chat, and was happy with only teaming up when it was time to run a dungeon. It stands in contrast to how I’d played MUDs beforehand. I had been social before and would meet up with friends I’d made …
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 …
I’m ready to go: meet the characters
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. 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 …
I can’t get no — satisfaction?
For some reason, whenever I think of that song all I can think about is Aretha Franklin belting out sock to me! (just a little bit) over and over again. It’s my little earbug from the queen of soul. Music references aside, I’ve had a strange thing happen to me this last year. I’ll be …
Taking Ardwulf to task
Usually, I like to keep to myself when it comes to disagreeing with other bloggers. I don’t like conflict and I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet, if we think back to Eurogamer’s initial review of Darkfall, was that just? People were upset because a reviewer on a big name site was …
