by Mithoron, 10 hours agoThere is a bunch of buzz from the Aion boards about Aion 3.0. NCSoft has announced they will be posting a video November 24th about Aion 3.0, the next "big thing" for Aion.
Nobody is certain as of yet what this means, although most agree it will be the expansion for Aion; however, why things are jumping from version 1.x.x to 3.x.x is unknown...will there be a 2.0 version? (Flying pets are slated for 1.6, so that is not it...).
As to what this entails, nobody knows:
- Level cap increase?
- Abyss expansion?
- More instances?
- New playable race?
There is a lot of conjecture and nothing known.
Although it may seem sudden--Aion West has only been out for 2 months--the game has been out for over a year now in Korea, and it has always been NCSoft's stance that both the Asian and NA/EU versions would be synched up...so that may be the big skip from 2.0. As of yet, it's all conjecture...we'll find out Wednesday!

Please go into the Legion Roster and look at the CHARACTERS section and claim any characters that are yours...

Thank you for your patience! |

| I've gotten word that Aion may no longer remain a globally synchronized game. According to my source, the NCWest CEO stated that the Western version of Aion will start to differ from it's Korean counterpart starting from the next patch. Does this mean that NCWest will no longer be dependent on Korea for all their updates? Or just given more control over the client itself? It's difficult to say for sure, but we'll keep our fingers clicking looking for the news for you. Either way, it looks like a good step for Western Aion, which will hopefully improve problem response times. We shall see! |
by Mithoron, 20 days agoBased upon the last couple polls to determine times when everybody will be online, I've scheduled the month of November with "Rift raids" on those specific times. This does not mean we're locked into those times, but to allow people to schedule times to be online for group PVP more readily. I always encourage people who are on to get together and do some PVP'ing anytime...
Raid sign-ups are similar to how we did things in WoW...sign up as if you were signing up for a raid (I'll be adding a link for "Upcoming Events" on the navigation bar later today)...
