Aion: Ascension

Hello, dudes! (and dudettes) Ambler here, breaking their promise for a Minecraft review in return for a review on the MMORPG Aion: Ascension! Great game, it has a huge range of in game things you can do (although personally I prefer the combat system) and there’s no end to the amount of stuff you can make. Honestly? I think the best way to experience Aion is to play it. If you like it; you’ll love it. If it’s your type of game; you’ll never stop playing.

Your wings won't actually look this cool.

Also you can fly.

You have wings and you can fly.

:D

So let me just go from the start. You’ll need to create an account (obviously) to begin playing. Best part about it? It’s free. Even better? It used to be a pay to play game with monthly subscription payments. I don’t know why they made it free to play but I’m glad they did. Maybe they made so much money their bank account overflowed and they couldn’t take any more?

So from there you’ll need to download the game, which is a great big whopping thirty gigs of data. Start making room, guys (I freed up ninety-four gigs instead of thirty, huu huu). Depending on how fast your computer is it might take a while to start up, (so sit down, relax and twiddle your thumbs impatiently while you wait for it to load past the NCsoft logo. Get up, make a coffee and call your friends, plan a holiday and play with your dog) or it’ll take twenty seconds and you’ll be at the log in splash screen. I think you know what you have to do from here.

So after you’ve got those log in details in you’ll be asked to read the terms and conditions. It’ll pop up every time you log in so you have plenty of time to read it, so just skip past. Choose a server and a faction, Asmodian, or Elyos. There’s no real good or bad, but if you want to pretend you’re a super villain or hero, choose the corresponding race. I’m on the Siel server as an Elyos Cleric. Add me, dudes, my username is Deque.

Shit, this is turning out to be a walkthrough!

The class selection screen doesn't actually look like this anymore....

Okay, whatever. You can choose between 4 classes. Warrior (Gladiator, Templar), Scout (Assassin, Ranger), Priest (Cleric, Chanter) and Mage (Sorcerer, Spirit master). You’ll make your character and depending on what race you chose you’ll be in either Poeta for Elyos or… the other place. I forgot what it was called but it’s a lot darker and less pretty than Poeta. Woohoo! So you’ll be on Lowbie-land for a while until you manage to get to level 10.

Well, would you look at the word count! Looks like I'll be saving the rest of this post for another time! Stay tuned for part 2.

Until later, folks!
