Aion(MMORPG)

[L.D.S.]

In the beginning there was a god named Aion who ruled over a world called Atreia. Aion created the Draken, a powerful race sent to protect the humans of Atreia. After some time passed the Draken disobeyed Aion's wishes and rebelled against their creator. The god Aion then created the 12 Empyrean Lords. The Empyrean Lords in turn created a barrier which prevented the Draken (now calling themselves Balaur) from attacking the humans charged under their protection. Within this barrier all things were safe. The Balaur ravaged and destroyed many of the living things residing outside of the barrier.

Some humans, living within the safety of the barrier, learned how to harness some of the same energy as the Empyrean Lords, known as aether. Such humans were called Daeva and, like the Empyrean Lords, had wings. With time, enough Daevas were born to form an army. Ten of the Empyrean Lords led these Daevas into battle against the Balaur, while the remaining two were the guardians of the Tower of Eternity, the embodiment of the god Aion. The war with the Balaur lasted for hundreds of years until one of the guardians of the tower announced that they should find a way to make peace with the Balaur. Five of the Empyrean Lords vehemently disagreed. However, the second guardian of the tower was swayed to peace. The Balaur were invited into the tower for peace talks. It is unclear what happened at that point. One of the Balaur lords lay wounded on the floor and the rest proceeded to attack the tower. The two Guardians attempted to raise the shield by going to opposite ends of the tower. However, they were unsuccessful and the tower, along with the world, shattered in two. As their final act, the two guardians sacrificed their lives in order to protect a part of Atreia. With Atreia severed, the survivors banded together to face their new world. Of the original twelve, ten of the Empyrean Lords survived. Five who had opposed peace and claimed that the weakness of the rest of the lords had allowed the Balaur to attack them reigned over the dark part of the world, becoming known as the Shedim Lords. The other five reigned over the light-covered bottom part of Atreia and claim that it was the Shedim Lords' actions that caused the breaking of the tower. They are known as the Seraphim Lords.

The new shape of the world also reshaped its inhabitants. Those that lived in the light part of the world saw little change except for an increase in their beauty. These followers of the Seraphim Lords called themselves Elyos and created the city of Sanctum. The inhabitants of the upper part of the world saw many changes. Having to walk on ground strewn with fragments of the tower, their feet became talons. Having to fight against beasts, their hands became claw-like. Furthermore, the darkness made their complexion change and their eyes grew red adapting to the absence of light. They call themselves Asmodians and live in the city of Pandaemonium under the rule of the Shedim Lords.

Bump for those that have no interest in this game that should have interest in this game.

 

[Asmodeus]

Shit like this seriously makes me consider updating again... its been long enough as is.

 

[KODOGG]

Yeah theres been lots of hype about this game but i think i'am gonna get Fallen Earth and give that a try first before i move onto any other MMO's..

 

[L.D.S.]

It's cool because you'll be able to have aerial battles once you've acquired the game's immortality.

 

[Techniq]

yeah this game looked kinda interesting... imma peep it out fa sho

 

[L.D.S.]

Anybody played the beta yet?

 

[KODOGG]

After reading some reviews i think i'am gonna pick this up today.. And my comp can run it on maximum specs soooooo that's a plus too

 

[KODOGG]

Installing it now.. I really don't know what to expect heh.. Its suppose to be a pretty story driven game so i'am excited to say the least.. Hope the game will justify the monthy cost tho

 

[KODOGG]

All i gotta say is... "IAM FUCKING ADDICTED!!"

The game world is so interesting.. The quests are all pretty fun, and the community is hella coo, atleast on the server i'am on.. And i know lots of people complain about MMO's not having good stories, i'am not sure weather this holds any weight or not cuz this is my first MMO i've played, but, this games story is actually rather well thought out and very good.. I don't think i'll be playing my consoles any time soon..

I sorta am regretting not picking the Asmodians, they look bad ass!! But the Elyo's game world is suppose to look a lot cooler, and so far the quests have been pretty interesting.. I cant wait to get some PVP going.. And it's nice to know when u beat the game as a Elyo's u can always give it another go as the other race goin thru a some-what different story..

Hella fun.. Let me know if any of u guys end up coppin this.. Glad i went with this game over Fallen Earth.

 

[L.D.S.]

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to playing it soon.

 

[hobgoblin]

is this free to play like guild wars where there is no monthly fee, just the purchase of the game?

edit:

nvm, read the wiki which i should have done first.

 

[KODOGG]

I think the first months free then after that its $15 a month, but i needed to put my ATM card and all that in no matter what even if the first months free.

 

[KODOGG]

Anyone cop?? I jus got to lvl 10 and picked my sub-class as a cleric and got my first pair of wings.. Even tho i can only fly for a bit now at first, it's still hella fun dippin around caves flyin past everyone on foot haha.. Also made a fighter, which i'am sorta pissed i didn't go with in the first place cuz she be dealin out massive dmg.. Only thing is u need bandages to heal n shit n it takes longer then it does with a cleric.. As the cleric i can buff up my armor by 10% and my health by 10%.. Im sure theres more buff skills i jus dont have yet...

I feel stupid too.. I thought the first region of the game was the whole game world.. Which i thought was pretty big.. But that's only 1 outa HELLA different regions.. This game is HUGE!

 

[KODOGG]

Anyone ever end up coppin this?? if not u really dont know what ur missin.. This is my first MMO, and probably my last MMO lol, cuz i dont see myself gettin bored of this game anytime soon lol.. Prolly the only game i'll play until the new Final Fantasy comes out, or Demon Souls.
