The AionArmory Needs You!
With the recent release of
Patch Two for the
AionArmory things couldn't be going better with more features and functions on the horizon. However perfection doesn't make itself and on that note we're looking for some helping hands with the continued development of the AionArmory.
On that note we are in need of Armory editors, those of you interested will need to submit a
private message to me voicing your interest with whatever details you deem relevant. Please note that we are seeking those with relativly extensive in-game knowledge, in particular those that have had a lot of experience in the Korean and Chinese distributions of Aion.
This position will involve editing articles, approving screenshots/edits, writing guides and other things of that nature. If you qualify and are absolutely certain you can and want to handle that responsibility then throw me a PM as stated above. This is a position of responsibility and trust so preference will be given to established members of the community (assuming they meet the before-mentioned criteria), thanks in advance for those of you that decide to put in the hard yards =)
As for good old Joe Blogs fear not we need your help too, while you're all running around feel free to take as many screenshots as possible of pretty much anything and everything. We're in need of screenshots for items, monsters, locations and all that fun stuff. To submit a screenshot just
login to the Armory, go to the appropriate page and visit the screenshots tab below.
But that's not all we're in need of, quest information in particular is in need of some additions so feel free to help out there. NetCurse has posted
an example of a submitted quest guide in the Armory forums. We will be providing an extensive guide on editing tools within the next couple days after some minor bugs have been hotfixed. The general look of submitted information is probably going to change somewhat too.
So thanks a bunch to everyone that's been participating in the Armory thus far, life's only getting better as Aion approaches
By Golly is that a Surpreme Commander?!
In the world of Aionsource there have been Humans and Daevas, I personally have always found that to be a bit boring. Perhaps that's why my title seems to change every week... that's right folks, for all you forum junkies out there I am pleased to announce post-count titles.
Of course this is
SPARTA Aion so things have to be Aion appropriate eh? As such our titles will (for the most part) be based off Aion's
Abyss Rankings as follows:
Title - Posts Required:- Human - 0
- Daeva - 10
- Soldier - 50
- Officer - 100
- Star Officer - 300
- Lieutenant - 500
- General - 800
- Great General - 1300
- Commander - 2000
- Supreme Commander - 2500
Please be aware that certain forum sections such as Everything Else (Chit-Chat, Basement, etc) and Introductions do not count towards overall postcount. Also spamming for titles wont be tolerated with my lovely delete-stick on hand should anyone misbehave, and yes post counts are recalculated upon thread deletion so no cheating!
And that's about everything, hopefully everyone's having a blast in the latest preview event! I wait with bated breath for when you all return in a seething mass of activity ._.
Oh and just a quick mention, yesterday we hit an all-time high of active users at 3,187! Aion's following is growing and it's a pleasure to see it all unfold.
Later, Cynic <3
