AION

Over the weekend, I have been playing the beta of Aion: Tower of Eternity MMORPG. I was drawn by the hype at E3.  I'm usually a console type of gamer because I am shy and do not interact with people in there.  I also do not PvP...  Despite that, I really like this game.  It is also because I like the story about celestial-like beings.  I checked out this game because of the flight capabilities and the tons of customizations.  There are two races battling each other and here are my characters:
Asmodian Priest
IGN: Tsukuyomi (Moon God)




In battle, her eyes glow red:



Elyos Scout:
IGN: Tsukuhime (Moon Princess) <--Tsukihime was taken T_T  Anyways, since it's beta I have a chance to take it before it starts.



When it rains and she is standing around for a few seconds, she whips out this giant leaf:



The quests are pretty similar with each other for each of the races except the worlds are slightly different.  The Asmodians are what we would say the demon class and the Elyos are human class.  I love the concept of having wings that you can customize and in-flight combats.  Anyways, watch the trailers if you are interested and pre-order at Gamestop.  I put $5 deposit down for the Collector's Edition.  The CE is $20 more and comes with extra, extra stuff but I got it because it comes with 30 days game play ($14.99/mo.) which the standard edition did not, as I was told, so I am only paying $5 for the figurine and the in-game items.  With any pre-orders, you can play the beta events.  So far they are having six and I just played the 2nd one.  So yeah, if you are wondering where I am over the next 9 months or so...chances are I am playing my subscriptions worth.  Also, check out NCsoft's new title: Blade and Soul available soon in Asia only.  :( I think it's better than Soul Calibur!  :P  I do not know when it will come here though.

aion, games
