AtheK Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Developers : NC Soft Engine : Crytek Platform : PC Release Date : Oct 30, 2008 Genre : Role-playing AION stands for "Epic Everlasting World." Created by NCsoft's Seoul development studio, it is an MMO which looks to break from convention. According to Yong Taek Bae, Associate Producer for NCsoft Seoul, there will be none of the level-grinding which is common in Korean MMOs. Although not fully disclosed at this time, the leveling-up system will be different from what you would normally expect. The premise behind the game is an epic conflict between Demons and Angels, which are the two playable factions of the game. Although details are pending, both of the classes will have bonuses and attributes specific to each. Both will have wings, enabling fast travel throughout the vast world displayed at E3. AION will have dragons as a third (non-playable) faction. They will have a strong effect on the game, especially in terms of faction balance. At this time, it is unknown how dragons will affect PvE combat although it can be surmised that they will guard loot. In PvP combat, dragons will actually be used to balance out faction wars. Depending on which faction you choose (Demons or Angels), you might find yourself on the receiving end of a fireball. According to NCsoft, the dragons' primary function is to balance out the game world. If one faction is becoming too dominant, the dragons will step in and launch an attack.

Bulovski Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 If it's the same team as Guild Wars then awesomeness is coming. If it's any of the other teams then this could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
