The fansite forums are becoming a mess as we get closer and closer to the NA/EU release of Aion.

Dumping some observations and thoughts about the game, the player community and some personal insight on these pages for new players that get lost in the madness of Aionsource's forums.

We do not need threads on Bots every 4 days!

Every few days another player signs up on Aionsource and starts a new thread concerning Bots and RMT.

Most express worry about the future of Aion.

They rarely if every search to see if the topic they are posting about has been covered.

By repeating these threads over and over we are just undermining Aion by perpetuating the fear of Bots even when NCSoft and NCSoft West have stated and taken actions to assure us they have Zero Tolerace.

Third Party Addons as a Growing Commercial Field - How it relates to Aion

Let me confess from the very beginning I am not a Addon fan. However I love to keep track of all the ways people decide to circumvent the rules in social gaming.

Ok we need to define some terms:

Internal Addons: these are small scripts created with in the boundries of a API provided by a game maker. Internal Addons are supported by the game maker. They are usually attached to the core C++ engine of the game. In the case of Aion this is provided by CryTek and the Cryengine....

Aion does not Need PvE servers - Just some Patience.

This blog discusses how PvPvE and how to balance out the separate aspects of PvP and PvE - OUTSIDE the stunted and abnormal environments of the BETA PREVIEWS which do not resemble retail gameplay.

I see no reason for any other server type then what we have. Just starting to play K-Aion again after the kiddos at SU have set up a VPN on the University network. Lack of experience is leading to knee jerk reactions. I rarely get griefed or ganked and there are hundreds of gankers around....

PvP vs PvE - Aionsource

Posted 08-08-2009 at 08:27 PM by Wraten (Thoughts for New Players - Aion)

So what is Aion is it PvE or PvP? Why do I read on Aionsource that many players want PvE and PvP servers?

Aion is a game based on PvPvE. Which is a compact way of stating that you can switch between the two styles of play on a single game server. With the addition of a AI controlled third race PvPvE is created.

There are not exclusive PvE or PvP servers. You are perma-flagged in Aion for the most part.

Why the chaos in the Aionsource forums about this...
