AION Online
Released to the public in September 2009, this game has skyrocketed ever since it made it's debut into the gaming community. With over 450,000 copies of the game sold BEFORE release, this game is quite literally jumping off the shelf.
I really hate even mentioning this game, but it seems WoW ain't got shit on Aion.
The graphics are superior. When I'm saying "superior" I really mean "Military-Trained Sniper vs. kid with an airsoft handgun". This game is so pretty it makes my eyes bleed. Be it floating through the Abyss or giving the smack-down to mobs in Belusan, this game will blow you away.
I've started to play an Asmodian Spiritmaster on the Triniel server (not shown here).
These bad-boys of the cloth specialize in controlling their pets, and the PC's they make their love-toys. Fears, Roots, and DoT's galore make this thing a veritable beast of PvP combat if used properly.
...Then again, that goes without saying, don't it?
I started out my career as a Spiritmaster with a Legion (guild) known as PhalanX. Great group of guys and gals, but it just didn't work out as well as I had hoped. Oh well, shit happens right? I've been keeping myself busy with my Spiritmaster by hunting/farming daily for the elusive "Summon Wind Spirit III" tome. I'll be DAMNED if those Cruel Worgs don't drop the goddamn book, as I've spent hours upon hours farming for the stupid thing. However, I'm not about to pay upwards of Five Million Kinah for a single book. I can wait. Really, I can.
...
Dammit, I want that book.
The gameplay is fluid, and the abilities unique and interesting. One of my favorites to see is "Face Smash", a proc-on-block ability for the Templar where s/he picks you up on their shield, then plants you in the ground, face-first, like the character name might as well be called FarmerJoe.
Of course, the Gladiator isn't too bad either. But I see alot of fanboys flocking to the basic MMORPG concept of "Less is more" in the terms of female armor.
Could be alot worse, but reminds me of a certain Tier armor set of the Warrior in WoW. Only, you know, alot better looking. Still reminds me of a can-opener.
Oh, and don't ask if she can make julienne fries, might just piss her off. Your best bet is to push her into a bed mattress or up against a tree. Odds are she'll be stuck by her own bladed armor.
....You sick bastards!
Anyways, the shameless plug, check out Kozen's Aion Mastery Guide. This thing is a PDF chock full of images, tools, tips and tricks to everything Aion. Included a levelling guide, how to make Kinah without spending hours upon hours grinding for materials, and PvP/PvE rotations for even the most hardcore player. 84 Pages of Aion Gold, as far as I'm concerned.
Anyways, shout out to all of my old Phalanx guildies wherever they are, and to the rest of the Asmodian folks out there on Triniel. Keep up the good work, and keep killing the Elyos for me!
