So this weekend I got to participate in the fifth closed beta for the upcoming MMO Aion: Tower of Eternity. It was really awesome. There’s nothing quite like flying over the landscape looking for prey, swooping down and taking them by surprise.

During the beta weekend I leveled a Elyos Gladiator to lvl 19, and an Asmodian Sorcerer to lvl 10. I modeled and named them after characters from Zelda:

The character customization is the best I’ve seen in an MMO. In fact, it’s as good as or better than Mass Effect’s.

I didn’t get high enough to enter the big PvPvE zone (The Abyss), but the PvE quests I did were well written and seemed to have flow. The “campaign” quests you do sometimes show a small cut scene as your character’s story progresses.

I had a lot of fun with Aion this weekend and I can’t wait for it to be released. September can’t come soon enough.

EDIT:

For those of you unfamiliar with the Zelda characters I based these guys off of:
