Playing a massively multiplayer role playing game can be a little daunting at first with all the action going on, but it is incredibly fun once you get the hang of it. This is perfectly illustrated with NCSoft’s latest MMO, Aion: The Tower of Eternity. Available in Asia for a couple of year now, Aion has just been launched in the US, Europe, and the rest of the western markets. Aion: The Tower of Eternity has many exciting features, such as flight and aerial combat, for players who decide to take the new challenge that lies ahead of them.
What’s Aion about?
Atreia is the world at the hard of the Aion game universe. The story of Aion is quite unique and there are many intricacies to understand about the universe and its inhabitants. Atreia was shattered into two halves because of a war between good and evil and the Balaur, who are a terror for all the inhabitants of Atreia, are primarily responsible. The Abyss is the dangerous and challenging chasm that lies between the two broken halves of the world.
After the world was broken, the people of each half started to evolve in different ways. On one side of the world is the Elyos and the other side is the Asmodians. The emnity between these two races provides much of the conflict within the game. When the two sides discovered each other long after the shattering of Atreia, the inhabitants went to war with each other instantly. In addition, both sides also battle the Balaur as they have been a constant terror to both the Elyos and the Asmodians.
The characters of Aion
As a player in the MMORP game, you’ll be asked to choose among one of four classes: Priest, Scout, Mage, and Warrior. These classes come with their own pros and cons, giving gamers a lot of choice about how they want to play. In addition, players are allowed to customize their character class as much as they want as the game has an insane amount of character customisation available.
Combat within Aion
Having winged characters means that aerial combat is an exciting feature of the game. The ability to fly had been incredibly important in the character’s lives before Atreia was split apart. However, when the world was shattered it was assumed that the power to fly would be gone forever.
When the two sides of Atreia engage in combat, though, flying will be an incredibly important tool in order to defeat the other side and the evil Balaur characters. Having to watch against attacks coming from all three dimensions adds an extra level of excitement and fun to combat in the game.
With so many unique and varied options available in the game, it’s clear you’ll never be bored within the Aion universe. Whether you enjoy hoarding kinah or dominating in combat, Aion brings a lot of exciting action and options for every player.
