There won't be a NA/EU beta (closed/open) but preview events. At this point we aint sure what this means or when they will come or how long they will last

When will it get released?

It will likely get released the first quarter of 2009

Basic Storyline (Lore)

In AION, players must choose a side between two warring factions: the Elyos or the Asmodians. Once their world was whole; a perfect union joined at the center by The Tower of Eternity. When a great catastrophe shattered The Tower of Eternity, it split the world into two halves - and awoke the Balaur, a warring race exiled within the extra-dimensional Abyss. The Balaur now seek revenge on both of these new worlds, sparking an epic conflict. The conflict between those 3 races is about Aether, a substance needed for flying, and the Abyss is the only region where you can find this material in huge quantities. The part you play, the side you choose and the decisions you make will help determine the ultimate fate of AION.

Key Features

• Interactive gameplay systems
  The actions of each faction on each individual server will eventually trigger consequences, which will then change each server's live environment. No two servers should ever be the same (except maybe at the start).
• PvPvE (Player vs Player vs Environment)
  Aion: The Tower of Eternity features an evolving conflict system, which manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds. The system also controls a third NPC faction, the Balaur, who may act as the enemy - or the ally - of players.
• Free flying and flying combat
  Take to the skies and soar over the landscape, with wings that allow your character to access remote areas, travel to different parts of the world - and to engage enemies in aerial combat!
• Beautiful and detailed graphics
  Created using a modified version of the Crytek engine (as used in Far Cry), AION: The Tower of Eternity is the most graphically beautiful MMORPG yet released. Astounding levels of detail on characters and in environments immerse you in the world of AION.

Is Aion free? P2P?

• No pricing has been officially announced yet, but it has been strongly hinted at that AION will be P2P. The industry standard of $15 USD per month is the predicted monthly fee. The actual box will probably cost $50 for a regular edition and $70 for a "Collector's" edition.
• Every region has the right to change it's subscription type so NcSoft Austin may differ from NcSoft Korea and NcSoft Europe

Factions & leveling:

• Elyos and Asmodians are the playable races. Elyos are 'Angelic' and Asmodians 'Demonic' in appearance. Neither is necessarily good or evil.
• The basic class tree of the Asmodians is the same as the Elyos. There will however be some important differences in skills. This means that fighting a class of the same faction and one of the opposing faction will be quite different experiences.
• AION's current proposed level cap is 50, just like Dark Age of Camelot.

Wings and flying:

• You can fly!
• The quest for becoming a Daeva earns you your wings at level 10. You can only fly for few minutes, with a cooldown period ( probably around 2 or 3 mins ). Some items and skills can increase the flying time.
• Both Elyos and Asmodians get wings.
• You can fly freely or follow a flight path (like WoW's in Gryffons), depending on the area. Using a flight path to get to an area doesn't seem to exhaust your flight skill.
• Wings can be personalized or upgraded through PvP. We are unsure of the specifics.
• Some skills act differently or are available only when you are flying. That makes the flight system more of a strategic element than a transportation mechanic.
• Flying timer and cooldown don't change with character level.
• There isnt a flying timer in the abyss

Differences between Elyos and Asmodians

• DP skills aren't the same, List of DP skills
• Wings,Amors look different
• They don't speak the same langage, so you won't be able to speak to enemies with the chat.
• You can't group with the opposite faction and you can't do the quest of the opposite faction.
• Different area of leveling (in the begining, you will probably quest in the same area of the opposite faction in higher level)

Classes

Names will be the same for both Elyos and Asmodians.
4 "schools" of classes, names are unofficial, except for Spiritmaster (formerly Elementalist) see this thread for more info.
At the begining, you choose a school, and later you can specialize by picking a class within that school.

School of Warriors

• Gladiator:
  Gladiators are flexible in their choice of weaponry. They're able to wield many kinds of close-combat weapons depending on the situation. Their combat style is relatively easy to learn. This isn't to say that it is an easy class to master. With some flair they can outshine even the fanciest damage-dealing classes.
• Templar
  It's unfortunate that in most MMO games the tank is conceptually attractive but not so fun to actually play. The classes in Aion are classic in some ways, but they all have their quirks that make them stand out from the archetype. With the Templar, players will see different shades of the class as it absorbs more and more damage. It's truly a different sort of tank melee class.

School of Scouts

• Ranger
  Ranger is a utility class with many tricks up its sleeve, such as laying traps and sniping from afar. It's a well-rounded class with both melee and ranged skills as well as an ability to heal itself. Careful assessment of the situation is needed for a ranger to shine, for its many abilities can as easily get in the way for an unskilled player. Can stealth !
• Assassin
  We can more or less sum up the assassin class with the words: watch your back! Big damage within a short span of time - that's what the assassin is all about. However to get that proper use out of an assassin, swift positioning is extremely important. Can stealth too ! but assassin will probably use more skills based on it

School of Mages

• Sorcerer
  A powerful magic class with deadly nuking skills, but also extremely fragile up close. A sorcerer might prefer to be in a party for survivability, but with some skill it could also be a fast solo class.
• Spiritmaster
  A Spiritmaster is not your ordinary summoner. As their previous name suggested, their tool of trade are the elementals that they manipulate at will. Get intimate enough with the elementals and you might very well become one.

School of Priests

• Cleric
  Clerics are, of course, the masters of recovery. They posess many healing skills to aid their kin, but that's not all. With a solid set of skill combinations and a number of melee skills they may surprise you in the right situation.
• Chanter
  As a priest, chanters can also heal to a certain extent, but their specialty is in mysterious chants that boost the morale of nearby players. They're also known for effective melee skill combinations and all-around usefulness. It should be an attractive class for those that like to do it all.

Combos & Divine Power

Combos

• Certain active attack skills/spells only become available after you successfully land a particular skill/spell. This way you're able to chain 2-3(maybe more) skills in succession which may result in extra damage inflicted.
• For instance, fighters should be able to use the skills Explosive stike(attack skill) -> Stun strike(knocks enemy over) -> chance strike(attacks fallen enemy)
• Those 3 skills have to be chained in that order because Stun strike won't open up untill explosive strike has successfully landed.
• Rangers also get a similar 3 hit combo attack similar to the fighter. Priests have an AOE spell combo that knocks all enemies over followed by an attack spell. But you get the basic idea now.. its just chaining certain skills to inflict lots of damage in a short amount of time and watching the cool flashy animations.

Divine Power

• It is said that Divine Power(DP) is a powerful skill that is able to turn the tides of a pvp battle.
• The DP gauge located under the character's HP and MP bar fills up as you hunt regular monsters and must be at 100% to activate the skill.
• When you release the DP skill(the skill is called DP explosion or something like that), it will do large amounts of damage to multiple monsters around you.
• The skill has a slow casting time so you may be exposed to incoming attacks during this time.
• You should also be careful as the skill will hit any monsters within a certain range and any monsters that get hit will aggro you.
• The DP gauge doesn't decrease if you dont hunt, so you'll be able to conserve it as you move around hunting zones.
• As the DP gauge fills up, the amount of damage you do to monsters also increases.
• DP gauge reset when you disconnect, but you can transfer it to another char.

• Thread about combo/DP
• Thread about combo/DP
• Thread about Skills & combo

Party combinations?:

• Yes, there'll be some party combos
• Thread about party combos

PvP

• PvP in Aion will have a focus on control-oriented and reactive skills. Skills have clear relationships with each other where some are used in combinations and others to counter combinations.
• PvP-specific skills will be available for usage around level 40. The player can, however, still choose not to participate in PvP unless he/she wants to.
• The time required to reach maximum level has been reduced since the last Friends and Family Test. The level progression will be similar and comparable to that of many western-developed games in the genre. After reaching the level cap (currently 50), players will be able to improve their characters on a more horizontal plane by using something called “Stigma”. More on this later.
• For players who don’t enjoy PvP, there will be various PvE activities to take part in such as raids, instanced dungeons and so on – All connected to the great war. An example would be PvE players collecting items for big siege weapons to support their faction.
• The main conflict within Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a great conflict raging between the Elyos, Asmodians and the Balaur. This is also where the content focus will be.
• A feature that is currently on a planning stage is to randomly open teleportation portals in the Elyos and Asmodian lands.

Where?

• You can PVP in the Abyss and there will be some zones outside the Abyss where the Elyos and Asmodians will be able to interact.
• You can only duel your own faction.
• You can raid city (maybe siege...).
• You can PvP into enemies instances... That means if the Elyos guild named "blabla" is doing an instanced dungeon, the Asmodian guild named "grrrrr" can enter the same instance as "blabla" and kill them.
• You can PVP in an arena, although this is currently just for fun, with no ranking systems etc.

• Video

• Thread about pvp outside of the abyss

Abyss




PvE

• There will be two types of raids in Aion. The first type is similar to that of Lineage, with huge amounts of players participating. The second type requires more strategy and class-specific skills (perhaps more comparable to that of “Everquest”).
• A Raid NPC/Monster for the Elyos might be an important NPC for the Asmodians which leads to the possibility of raids influencing the faction war.

Abyss & Castles :

• The Abyss will consist of two distinct parts. The first part is aimed at beginners and is meant to introduce players to the Abyss concept. The second part is connected to the real war and meant for more experienced characters.
• The Abyss will be home to 8 to 10 castles that can be captured by either faction. The advantages will have extreme consequences. Your faction will be able to gather crafting materials easily. Besides that, traders live around the castle and will sell special weapons only to your faction. Finally, the ruling guild will receive taxes from the land. The rest of the faction won't get any money from it. Only when the enemy retakes the castle, another guild will have the chance to benefit from the many advantages of the castle.
• You can lvl in Abyss, killing balaurs and receiving XP, and you can get PVP points to buy PVP equipment.
  Leveling in the abyss seems more effective than leveling in the outside (due to the greater risk of getting killed, the XP reward from mobs will be greater...)
• You can upgrade your castle with force field or recrut some NPCs to guard and defend it.
• Siege weapons can be obtained through PvE (raid boss drop)
• You can either build siege wepons when attacking a castle, or buy it with the Auction House (once a PvE guild/party has placed them there)
• This way, PVE players help the war opposing faction, without doing PVP, but the idea is to bring people doing PVE to start PVP and PVP players to do some PVE

Items, Armors, Tradeskills

Items & Armor

• The types of items in Aion are divided in to three categories: Normal items, Abyssal items and “Drakonic items” (names are still to be determined).
  Abyssal items are received via PvP and “Drakonic items” will be available through crafting of items acquired from hunting the Balaur.
• There will be some “Soulbound” items, meaning that once equipped, they can not be traded anymore (as made famous by “Everquest”).
• You can costumize armors with dye
• When some sets are full/complete, they will glow around the character.
• item uniqueness : Let's take your situation as an example; at high levels, everyone will be wearing the equipment that provides the most stat benefits. In Aion, there is a system where you can transfer the stat bonuses from one piece of equipment to another. Let's say you have the an awesome sword by the name of Zariche which looks absolutely awesome, but an even better sword looks pretty dull (in your opinion anyway). Through Aion's system you can upgrade to the better sword while keeping the awesome looks of Zariche.

• Video about dyeing

• Armors look different whether it's weared by Elyos or Asmodians

Slots for equipment :

• head, necklace, 2 earings, shoulder, chest, legs, cloak, waist, boots, 2 rings, 2 weapon sets
• Some Pics

Characteristics & Stigma :

• The developers do not want players to have to worry about character attributes (such as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution…), which is why attributes are automated and controlled by the game.
• One of the things differentiating characters is the “Stigma” system. Stigma is a sort of stone containing the memories of a Daeva. A Stigma stone will, in a nutshell, allow players to, by the use of different slots, create unique characters with skills or equipment from other classes. Examples of the combinations that can be acquired by utilizing this system are Wizards wearing heavy armour or maybe Assassins knowing how to teleport.
  Stigma is available from around level 20. There are limitations which will be revealed at a later point.
• 5 Stats given by armour : Magical defence, Physical defence, Focus, Evasion & Mana.

• Flight is controlled using WASD
• You can jump and climb
• It is possible to alter the result of combat by maneuvering the character. (Forward, back, left, right, jump)

Transportation:

• there are 2 ways of transportation : short and long. Short distance uses a flight path, like describe in the wings part (scroll up) and teleporting is for longer transfers.
• No mounts at release, maybe later...

• Thread

Potions/foods/drinks :

• There will be health and mana recovery potions with instant effect. They will, however, have a re-use timer to prevent excessive usage. There will also be foods with different effects on your character. Food will basically work as a kind of buff, of which only one can be active at the same time.

In Game voice chat?:

• we don't know yet.

Macros ?:

• Thread about macros - translation

Worlds/area:

• The world of Aion resembles a partially hollowed out globe, divided horizontally into two halves. The lower half is the world of the Elyos, the upper half is the world of the Asmodians. So basically the world-map of Aion is not on a horizontal plane, like a traditional fantasy world; instead it's vertical. With this in mind, some parts of both worlds can only be accessed from the air - such as floating castles, and islands in the sky. Because of this, all of the player characters can gain wings.
• The area lying in between the two halves of Atreia is referred to as the Abyss. The Elyos' half is named Elysea while the Asmodian's half is named Asmodae.
• Pandaemonium Video

Is Aion’s world seamless or zoned? :

• The world is zoned and there are several transportation methods available including walking, flight, and teleportation. The loading speed between zones is still in tuning but even at this point it Ã*s very short.

A great place to ask questions is right here: Ask a Question, Get an Answer

As stated above, the source is aionsource, if the FAQ doesnt answer all of your questions feel free to ask them and i and others will try to answer them :)

edit:

it would be nice if this could be stickied in this section =X

Alyvian

Nice , very nice FAQ list. This is by far the best list i`ve ever seen for Aion.

There are ALOT of good infos and I just can't talk about one , because all of them are awsome in Aion. I love the crafting and I hope it will be something like Lineage 2 , of course with different thinks , but just like an ideea.

The part that you can own a house in Aion it makes me feel good because you can design it as you want, and also a guild can have their house , something like Lineage 2 Town Hall ;) hope with that features too , like you can gain buffs , teleports and so on. ( of course , this will be implemented in the first expansion )

But what I love about Aion is the Abyss , the PvP , the graphic , oh .. there are so many .. you name it ;)

Good job OP and I do believe that this thread must be sticky .

thank you :>, but it wasnt me who made the original faq (over on aionsource) it been a collective effort of the people there :), i just reposted it here to have all the information we got centralized in one spot. To add to that i should keep it updated as the updates there come along =)

There is some outdated info, Ill work on a revamp and let you know via PM.

ok thank you :> will update it when i hear it of you/see it appear on aionsource :)

W.O.W.  Very good post, thanks for doing it.  I have gone to several sites to try to get information about it, but unfortunately I think alot of this became available more recently.  I may have missed it, but is there a release date yet for the game?  It kind of looks like WoW with a FInal Fantasy skin.  Which is absoultely fine because I like WoW (just not all aspects), and I love Final Fantasy, but the online FF game was horrible.  Anyway thanks again for the post, and at this point seeing as AOC is going under construction, id say Aion and Warhammer are the games to look out for come christmas.

I am afraid there aint no definitive release date yet other as the end of the year (which can still change pretty fast)

what we do know is that cbt3 should start the end of june/begin of july and that it will probably last 3-4 weeks

Player shops... *sigh* Worst thing about Lineage 2 (aside from the pking) was the player shops. Seas of afk-shops in Giran.. 3 minutes just for the city to finish loading. And it looks like they are in this game too. I wish that they would make a market instance in the major cities and have that be the only place you can set one up.

afk-shops = eyesore.

There's no need to have AFK shops when you have auction houses, Aion has both, player shops amd ah's.

Ya but people will still use player shops, they did in final fantasy 11 and it was annoying to have so many people just standing there afk in front of AH and pretty much every part of jeuno especialy lower jeuno.  Shes just saying if its going to have player shops it should only be allowed in a seperate instance of a city so people can avoid it if they choose to. 

even tho i agree they are an eyesore (cause they are) i do think the private shops will mostly die out as the game progresses and people become more aware of the auction hall, simply because  of the following reasons:

- You dont have to keep your computer running to sell  stuff

- You can actually go out hunting while selling stuff

Having said that, i do think private shops are neccesairy to a certain degree. It ups the accesability to the game for new people who never used an auction system

it hels with raiding if one/two people can carry shots/other needed stuff so the others dont go overweight (presuming there is an overweight penalty)

and you can sell out in the field while ur afk (presuming ya aint in the abyss, cause ya know, that might be a bad idea with the open pvp there :P)

having typed all that, i am sure the ammount of private shops wont be much of a nuicanse 1month into the beta when most people realise the auction system nets them much more cash as private shops will

edit:

to add, we had a poll over on aionsource where 4 people roughly would use auction house, to 1 private shopper, so 80% would use the auction house, and i am pretty sure that percentage would shift in favor of the auction house quite rapidly

Lets hope you are right. Afk-shops ruin a landscape as bad as those houses did in swg. And then if this game doesnt have collision detection, you can be sure some dimwit is going to get as close as he can to an important npc so that you can only click on his shop...

The only way I could see afk-shops used less than the ah is if both of them had a listing fee. Or you had to buy a commerce liscence and then pay upkeep on it... sorta like paying rent for housing in another mmo.

Alyvian thank you, this FAQ is amazing and was so very necessary for those newly interested in the game and otherwise!

Plus western gamers dont realy use player shops much anyway unlike asian gamers.  So if you hate it, you dont have to worry much about it since westerners and asians will be on seperate servers I think.

I do have one question, will USA and Europe be able to share same servers or is it seperate like in AoC?

However we do know there will be servers situated in europe and the USA

i want to play aion  and there is no download butten that i can find where is it i want to fly!!!

Very nicely detailed and long FAQ there!  :)

player shops aren't "that" bad but as long they can restrict the areas where they can be set up i don't see a problem with them. I'm sure they'll think of something, hopefully, heh.

just to update, this faq should be updated soon (after cbt3 starts) with all new information :)

and ty to the admins for stickying this :)

Q&A with Sr. Designer (from Dec 2007)

www.massively.com/2007/12/05/catching-up-with-angels-qanda-with-aions-senior-designer/

I laughed at that link, you see the designer talking about how to succeed in Asia now you can't make just another grinder thus why they are focusing on quests, and then, 2 of the first 3 replies saying "it looks like a grinder".

Dunno whats so hard in keeping an open mind lol

On the FAQ on the topic of Zoning are we talking about when im about to cross to an area it starts loading it and it should "hopefully" be loaded by the time i step on it or every area has a loading screen?

Zoning as a loading screen in long ranged instantaneous teleports and entering in instanced dungeons. Other than that...crytek ^^

Damn, thats a major turn off for me :( why does everyone insist on instanced worlds nowadays, hate loading screens.  Ohh well looks good non the less.
