(Class discussions for Rangers. For Assassin and Scout see appropriate categories) Rangers are experienced Scouts who have shunned the idea of working within a regular military unit, choosing instead to work alone or in specialist teams. They are solitary figures with finely honed survival instincts and the ability to endure even in the harshest of environments. In fact, I have only met two Rangers in my lifetime, both of whom were strikingly shy figures, and never seemed at peace in [...]

Class discussions for Scouts. (For Assassin and Ranger see appropriate categories) If the Warrior is about grit, power and sheer strength, then Scouts concern themselves more with speed, camouflage, agility and awareness.They dress in light armour, making them vulnerable… when they can be hit. Scouts are complex creatures requiring a delicate touch and measured approach, and once their inherent strengths and weaknesses are understood, they are formidable opponents indeed! Once the scout has reached the required level of ability, they [...]
Class discussions for Templar. (For Warrior and Gladiator see appropriate categories) The Templar is a brave soul who must hold the frontline, using their shield to block and parry attacks while waiting for a weakness to show itself before retaliating. A Templar becomes more powerful when struck; indeed they can only reveal their full potential when they are in the midst of combat. The Templar isn’t just a heavy shield and pointed sword however. Unlike their Gladiator cousins, I have [...]
(Class discussions for Gladiators only. For Warrior and Templar see appropriate categories) Gladiators are the true melee masters of Atreia; vicious and beastly – constantly training to perfect the various fighting styles their class excels in. Much like the Warrior class that they emerged from, a Gladiator’s power comes from sheer, brutal strength – to see one of these behemoths in combat is a truly awe-inspiring sight. Gladiators are a vital cog in any group of Daeva, and give enemies [...]
Class discussions for Warriors. (For Gladiator and Templar see appropriate categories) Fearsome and hulking, a Warrior’s way is found more through brute force and great resilience than guile and trickery. However, do not be fooled into thinking Warriors are brainless, or simple: though your first steps may be relatively easy to master, Warriors must fully dedicate both body and mind to fully understand the powerful skills they’ll later be taught. I have seen a great many Warriors in my time, [...]

Aion Entering Open Beta in Korea The Aion team in Korea announced that Aion will be entering Open Beta in Korea on November 11th. This is exciting news for us as well! Since the game has entered its next phase in Korea, we thought we’d take a few minutes to explain the status of Aion in the west. We are currently in the process of localizing and culturalizing the game for the western market in order to reach the same [...]
For the past few stayed up till 6-7 am working on the site. We are hosted on LiteSpeed Entrprise servers instead of Apache so performance and speed should be more then noticeable. (please let me know if you experience any bugs.) Thanks!!
