Those guys are only the producers, they might know less about the game than I do. kieron definitely knows more, I think.

Maybe that meant the default wings - sans customisation

Brian is the Associate Producer, Chris is the QA Lead; both have more familiarity and knowledge of Aion than I have.

In regards to the wings and future customization, that is based off of the latest information we have. There is a fair amount of time before Aion's release in both the Korean and US/EU markets. As with any title undergoing development, it is subject to change and the version you see now may not be the version at release.

So Aion may after all this time may become Care Bears Online?

SAWEEEET!!!!!!!!!

Interesting information. It'll be fun grilling them with questions, then. Watch 'em sweat, heheheh.

Sent NCsoft Austin's PR lady an email asking for an appointment at PAX. See you guys there!

Mark is bucking for the Bannage Hammer.

Do they at least explode into a fiery explosion of love? XD

Great article. Glad to see the game is genuinely fun and already polished. The thing that makes me excited too is there are features he left out that will make it slightly more interesting, like the combat system. Sure it is the same hotkey+cooldown, but there are also combo moves added in, which from my experience in Vanguard, combos are a blast and add a little more immersion.

All in all, great screenshots and positive news, thanks for posting it

Mark definately gets the AION Stalker award! However, when your in the business of running a fan site its the price you pay. May I also add that we love him for it.

A great article by an MMO cynic. Only shows that Aion in fact WILL be different from the 3-4 recent skeletal and unfinished MMO's that are being shat out because of lack of funds (read: Vanguard, AoC, WAR).

[Gharik]

heh, that's an awesome article coming from someone who apparently doesn't really enjoy MMOs
