A friend of mine has spent almost two years excitedly waiting for the European Release of a Korean MMORPG called Aion.

What to say, with all the pretty screenshots and his obvious passion for the game he kind of infected me and so when the Beta events came out over here in Europe, I had a look.
And fell in love.

I mean, aside from a character Editor in which I could spend hours finetuning my characters' looks, the game is just an overall source of prettyness. *_* And you get to have wings and actually lead airborne combat against other players. (though I'm still struggling to get the hang of THAT)

Of course that means I'm pausing with Guild Wars, can't play two games of that sort what with having a Real Life and Art and Work and stuff

In any case, should any one of you be playing Aion on the European Servers, you'll find me on the side of the Elyos on Server Kromede (Character Name is Rubin - figures)
And as Asmodian on server Votan, though we're right now hoping for the promised character transfer feature to become reality so we can possibly move to Nerthus where a couple of our friends are hanging out.
Character name on Asmodian side... urm...

A one month subscription for the first person who can correctly name the young man :


(people actively playing alongside the character are naturally excluded from the deal *stares at Ben* )
