An Introduction To Aion: The Tower Of Eternity

Playing a massively multiplayer role playing game can be a little daunting at first with all the action going on, but it is incredibly fun once you get the hang of it. This is true of Aion: The Tower of Eternity, a new game created by NCSoft. This game has been available in Asia for some time, but now is set to release in the western parts of the world, including the U.S., and Europe. Aion: The Tower of Eternity has many exciting features, such as flight and aerial combat, for players who decide to take the new challenge that lies ahead of them.

What is Aion?

The game is set in the universe of Aion in the world of Atreia. The story of Aion: The Tower of Eternity is quite unique and there are many intricacies to understand about the universe and its inhabitants. Atreia was shattered into two halves because of a war between good and evil and the Balaur, which is a terror for all the inhabitants of Atreia, is primarily responsible. The world is currently separated by a huge chasm known as the Abyss.

When the world was shattered, the two halves contained distinct inhabitants. On one side of the world is the Elyos and the other side is the Asmodians. Both sides have an intense hatred for each other and this is where much of the conflict comes into play. When the two sides discovered each other long after the shattering of Atreia, the inhabitants went to war with each other instantly. In addition, both sides also battle the Balaur as they have been a constant terror to both the Elyos and the Asmodians.

Aion's Characters

As a player in the MMORP game, you'll be asked to choose among one of four classes: Priest, Scout, Mage, and Warrior. These four classes each have their own purpose and come with their own special features. In addition, players are allowed to customize their character class as much as they want as the game gives utmost control over how their character appears.

Fighting and Combat

Combat between the sides of Atreia is pretty exciting as the main feature of combat is aerial combat and flight. The ability to fly had been incredibly important in the character's lives before Atreia was split apart. However, when the world was shattered it was assumed that the power to fly would be gone forever.

When the two sides of Atreia engage in combat, though, flying will be an incredibly important tool in order to defeat the other side and the evil Balaur characters. As you play the game then, this ability to fly means that you'll have to beware attacks from every angle of the game.

Everything inside the universe of Aion is extremely unique and there won't be a dull moment as soon as you start playing. Whether you enjoy customizing your character or utilizing the power to fly, Aion: The Tower of Eternity brings a lot of exciting action and options for every player.
