So The best thing they've learned about gaming is it was better 10 years ago! On June 23,2021 they are re-releasing a game that came out in 2009. Aion. Otherwise known as 'That MMO with wings'.

Reminds me of this ad that made me go 'lol dead game' but im looking forward to the bringing back of a game that had an enjoyable leveling -> PvP experience that actually rewarded you for cross-faction killing/attacking.


The game is 'free to play' but without the subscription you will be severely limited. The first week is free if youre interested though! I suggest it if you enjoy online PVP games like WoW when it released or even things like ArcheAge although Aion is not as obnoxious nor cookie cutter. The best part of Aion is every class (Minus the new classes of Technist/Muse which aren't included) can successfully outplay other classes. Yes this game, at launch, actually had 'balanced pvp'. Mages(Sorcerer/Spiritmaster) deal crazy damage along with the Rogue(Ranger/Assassin). Warriors (Gladiator/Templar) provide a frontline with Healers (Chanter/Cleric) giving sustain to all.

Overall the reason to play? You get wings bro. No seriously its pretty sweet to just be able to pop out your wings and fly around. You get 'Basic Gliding' in zones but then there are 'Free Flight' zones where you are given a flight meter based on your level of wings. Inside these zones are also 'wind streams' which are basically fast travel through the zones.


You can also make your character really tiny.

I will never ever forgive them for City of Heroes. Even with the autistic secret private server drama eventually giving us private servers nearly a decade after it's death.
 
I dislike that NCsoft is still running this as they've been trash with how they handle games, but Aion was good for what it was back in the day. Where else could you get pk'd by a tall, skinny man with green skin and a green afro called Tree Man?
 
Oh boy I hated that game back in the day and NCSoft should just do everybody a favor and die in a ditch somewhere already. From what I understand it was massively disappointing to people at launch as well for various reasons, the thing I heard most often was that you get your shiny wings but barely get to use 'em.
 
I sitll have vietnam flashbacks of leveling a priest and my character yelling "TSEONA TRE" (or whatever they say) whenever I casted my only damage spell.
 
If memory serves around level 30 or so the game grew incredibly grindy.. that's the hurdle that stopped most people from really finishing up. I thought the PVP zone and its system was interesting. The PVP itself could be fun too especially if you were knocking people out of flight so they'd hurtle to the ground.

i remember back in high school my friend was hyping this shit up constantly and said it would kill world of warcraft. played a bit on his computer and i remember it not being so bad but he ended up quitting after two months or so since there was nothing going on in the world.
