I'm going to be posting some of the earlier translations that I posted on my legion's forums here because I'm not really sure where to put them, since I'm not really sure if they are already on the wiki or somewhere out there on the site. My translations are based on the chinese sites, which might or might not list the original sites they were taken from.

On a side note though, could I just check if any of these general gameplay info has been put up in the wiki yet and where if it has?

Parties
chinese
original
This page is regarding the party system, and it seems that the aion party system has combined the advantages of various other games.

- Maximum party size of 6
- Party leader is able to determine the number of party members and loot distribution
- Players are able to use shortcuts to select party members quickly, F1 for self and F2-6 for the other party members

Party member information is on the left hand side of the screen.

Players are able to view the buffs and debuffs of party members via this screen.

One can see the location of party members in the map.

There are 3 types of loot distribution:
- Finder's Keepers: Whoever picks the loot gets it
- By turn: Regardless of whoever picks the loot, it is distributed by turn to each party member
- Leader: Only the party leader can pick loot (Can be used during raids to consolidate the loot)

There is a 'looking for party' matching system. WoW players should be familiar with this, players can enter a few conditions to search for suitable players and then party to level.

The left most button on the picture above will open the friend and party search window.

The friend system can be used to search for one's friends and one's blocked list.

The 'looking for party' system has the following conditions: name, level, location, party limit and type of party, that can be set.

Travelling
chinese
original

There are two main methods of travelling in Aion, one of which is to fly along a specified route and the other is to teleport from point to point. These two methods together allow for three travelling types.

Different map, far distance travel/Point to point teleportation

The world of Aion is composed of many maps linked together and moving from map to map required teleportation. It is not possible to walk across from map to map, at least this applies for all the three maps of both the Elyos and Asmodeans currently used. Thus players need to find an NPC to teleport them from map to map and this service is only available in major cities for a fee. The advantage of this method is the time saved, especially since locations on different maps are very far apart. Flying between the two locations instead will take a lot of time and this is obviously due to the design of the zone transition in game.

Also, all new characters that have not completed their class change (Level 10 and below) are unable to teleport this way, hence all new characters can only train in the newbie areas.

Same map, short distance travel/Flying along set route

WoW players should be familiar with this means of travelling. Mainly, for moving between two points on the same map, there are a few specific routes and locations one can fly between. This doesn't mean that the player extends his wings and flies freely, but rather an NPC and a fee is required to fly the player from location to location. The player will not move instantenously but will instead extend his wings to fly along the specific route. During the journey, the player is unable to control the character but can take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

Capital Teleportation/Teleporting from point to point in the same map

This third travelling type is only available in both the capitals as the capitals are extremely huge, hence there are teleportation statues sited at various locations in the capitals. Clicking on the statue causes a portal to open up allowing the player to reach his destination instantly and is the only example of teleporting in the same map. For now, this only exists in the two capitals and a fee is required for use.

Titles
chinese
original

The title system is a means to increase one's statistics. Players can complete various quests to obtain various titles, which can be changed much like one's equipment. The titles are reflected in front of the character's name. (Red Box) The titles can increase (or decrease) the statistics of the character and differ from class to class.

Caption: The title appears before the name and can be easily changed.
Caption: Aside from showing off with the title, it can increase the character's statistics.

Obtaining a Title

What is known now is that players can obtain a title through the main quest. It is estimated that there will be more channels in game as well as hidden quests to allow players to obtain more special titles.
