0. Eye candy galore : Aion does not disa!!oint the demanding $isual fiends li%e me/ .t is no secret that for many, this will e at the to! of their criterion on choosing a game. 1(cuse my meta!hor ladies& gentlemen, . am sure you will agree with me that most guys will still settle for the stereoty!ical +hot lond, e$en if they ha!!en to e an +air head,. . will admit that . !layed MMOs that really weren,t that fun& ut $isually they were so a!!ealing, . 2ust had to come ac% for more as shallow as it may sound. 3ineage 2 is guilty of this. When the game initially came out, it was y far one of the most if not the most gorgeous MMO in the mar%et. 4nfortunately it was notorious for the worse grind to hit the western shore. At times . wondered why . was grinding the same mo for the 05 555th times 2ust to gain 05 more !ercent towards my ne(t le$el& what was the fun in that- . )uic%ly found the answer to my )uestion when the cast se)uence animation of my female 1lf !layed once again" Aion gold is uilt on the #ry1ngine. The de$elo!ers did a fantastic 2o on rining the world to life with fantastic animation, imaginati$e en$ironment and some of the est $isual effects seen in any game. 6on,t 2ust ta%e my word for it& chec% out this $ideo/ (Ma%e sure

to watch it in 7igh 6ef.) 2.Customization that puts The Sims to shame 8 9inally, a game with the tools to ma%e our ideal fantasy character/ O%, that didn,t come out right" :o%es aside, Aion,s character customization isn,t anything to laugh at. ;ou can honestly s!end hours twea%ing your character until it is 2ust right and you are 055< satisfied. The amount of modification a$aila le is incredi le. . can go on and on a out it, ut .,ll let this $ideo and screen shot s!ea% for itself. =. Encouraged Party System : 6e!ending on how you loo% at it, this can either e a !ositi$e or neutral thing. *y all means, nothing sto!s a !layer in Aion to reach le$el >5 eing a lone wolf& there are more than ade)uate amount of )uests and hunting s!ots. *ut the rewards of eing in grou!s and hunting together ha$e !owerful incenti$es. ?ot only will you e safe from eing +gan%ed, in the A yss, your !arty will e a le to ta%e on monstrous foes too difficult to fell y 2ust an indi$idual for great loots and e(!erience. .n some games we find that )uesting alone was the fastest way to le$el, this made it less li%ely for !eo!le to form !arties. While other games li%e 9inal 9antasy 00 made it im!ossi le to le$el alone, and forced !layers into !arties. Aion caters to oth, ut encourages more towards co@o!erati$e !lay . find. .n the end of the day, this .A a MMOR'B/ Ao get in !arties, raid some dungeons, and destroy ri$al guilds ecause this is what it,s all a out/ C. Mysterious Foes: Aion,s neat system that allows !layers to control the +s%in, of their gear o!ens door to a new !henomena ne$er seen efore. .f you ha$e no idea what . am tal%ing a out, chec% out +Mechanics8 #ustomizing e)ui!ment s%ins, for the details. This system creates a new le$el of !aranoia and thrill. ?o longer can you tell if someone is higher or lower le$el than you y loo%ing at their $isual a$atar. ?or can you see the le$el of enemy !layers y clic%ing on them. .t now ecomes a tougher call ecause gauging the ris% of an engagement is much more difficult. Thus in massi$e !$! attles, !layers can no longer !ic% off +low ies, and must assume e$eryone to e of e)ual threat/
