What have I been up to? Lots of fun and holiday excitement with my husband and friends. Our friends had recently started playing
Aion and knowing I'm a gamer, had encouraged me to join them. I've always called my husband a "backseat gamer" as he has always been the type to enjoy watching and coaching, but not playing himself. To my surprise he decided to play too as he didn't want to feel "left out"...
Now that my new computer came in, it can handle Aion's stunning graphics. Like Blue Mars, it uses a modified version of the CryEngine. I've never played a fantasy, quest-based, levelling-style MMO before and I'll admit that I am really
really enjoying it...
Aion is the story of two races of people--the Asmodians and the Elyos--who are now enemies after a cataclysmic event that split their world apart. At level 10, you ascend to Daeva status and get your wings and can fly. In the above pics, I am as my Asmodian templar self. Below, my alt Rafetna, who is an Elyos sorcerer...
And there really is something to be said about coming into a game like this and your best friends are already there. Even when I cross paths with one of them or my husband, it's always like "HEY!" Forget the fighting, sometimes I find myself just exploring its world because this game is
gorgeous...
If you ever decide to come in, I am Asmo on the Israphel server and Elyos on Fregion (as you can't play both races on the same server). For those who like RPing, I've heard that Lumiel is the server to choose.

Yay I am glad to see a post about Aion. I have been hearing so much about it from fellow plurk members but haven't seen any other details. This looks like a game I need to check out.
