Aion Closed Beta #5

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.

Death From Above

Death From Above

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:

Linkros

Ganondorph

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.

: Moonlit Ganondorph
