Just got a press release from the people at Aion! They wanted to pimp out a few links, and I'm up to my neck with other work today. So while it's not exactly New York Times level reporting, sometimes it's reposting or nothing.
Aion Online (the website) has received a facelift. Actually, it got the facelift before the weekend, but for some reason half the MMO industry has had an attack of the rational, and waits to announce things until they've been use-tested for a few days. What on earth are we coming to? Anyway, check out the official site.
The press release also pimps out their official wiki.
I'm still grooving on being an Asmodian, although I've noticed that healing up in between fights (as a solo tank player) is starting to take longer than I'm used to in an MMO. My expectations are low, mind you; I'm perfectly aware that maximum efficiency in an MMO calls for a group. I'm a solo tank player in every MMO, so I've got a frame of reference here. And I'm also starting to want a little more strategy during 2D combat, although flying combat is as exciting as I could want. But the storytelling just keeps getting better, and the graphics/sound combination is still rocking my world. So my hopes are still high... and my fingers are still crossed!
