Wings Over Atreia: Living la vida Asmo
Filed under: Fantasy, Aion Gold, Opinion, Wings Over Atreia
Now, it is oft heard that "Asmos don't get no lovin'!" Perusing threads, or even listening to faction-hoppers in game, you hear many complaints that Asmodians have it just that much harder than their fair-winged counterparts -- that Asmodae is harder to level in than Elysea, the Elyos have better mobs, easier quests, better loot, more press time, and so on. Basically, that the Elyos race is the "favorite child." In the interest of representing both factions in ...

Wings Over Atreia: A whole new world, sorta
Filed under: Fantasy, Aion Gold, Opinion, Wings Over Atreia
Mergers have come and gone in
Aion Gold; the fabric of existence was ripped asunder, then rewoven. In North America, five new worlds now sit where once there were fourteen, and eight replace eighteen in Europe. Using the mergers as a springboard for their apocalyptic rants, naysayers cried out that the end of
Aion Gold was nigh, fervently waving their ass...

Filed under: Fantasy, Aion Gold, News items
Aion Gold's recently announced server merges have been pushed back a couple of weeks and are now scheduled to take place on July 14th.

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Aion Gold, One Shots
Many of our Aion Gold One Shots have featured fantastic, highly detailed armor, or the obligatory enormous wings that the game seems to be so well-known for.

Flaws. Bugs. Annoyances -- like a level 45 slaughtering you while your little level 18 self is quietly going about gathering Lumesia.
