Vendor Exclusive Aion Holiday Ascension Packs!

Knite · 11-10-2009, 11:01 PM

Hey everyone-

Looks like NCsoft is throwing some extra incentive out there for those who purchase Aion over the holiday season. Those incentives include the much coveted Black and White dyes and a healthy chunk of Lodas Amulets! Take a look at the purchase promotion below and if you haven't already made your holiday wish list, pick your dye!

Aion, the biggest MMORPG of the year, is bound to appear on several wish lists this holiday season thanks to its blend of rich storylines, state of the art graphics and robust community. At a time when entertainment costs are still rising, the value of an MMORPG gift this season can't be denied. For the price of one video game, Aion delivers hundreds of hours of entertainment to players who will work side-by-side with thousands of others in a quest to save Atreia - a world that has literally sundered in half from centuries of brutal conflict.

In celebration of the game's success this year, NCsoft is rewarding those who purchase Aion this holiday season from participating retailers with the Aion Holiday Ascension Pack - a variety of exclusive in-game character enhancements that are perfect holiday gifts for players of all ages.

The Aion Holiday Ascension Pack, available at Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, and Walmart includes these exclusive in-game character items:

Special Dyes for customizing your character's appearance
- Amazon - Hot Orange Dye
- Best Buy - Mustard Dye
- Game Stop - True Black Dye
- Target - True Red Dye
- Walmart - True White Dye
Lesser Life Potions (20)
Lodas's Amulet (15)
Lesser Running Scroll (15)

Along with gifting Aion, NCsoft Game Time Cards are great stocking-stuffers, opening up the world of gaming with 30 or 60 additional days of game time.

Unlike any other MMO on the market, Aion introduces flight as a core experience of the game allowing millions of players across the world to take to the skies to fight, quest and explore. And since Aion was built with an award-winning graphics engine, its visuals are completely immersive and second to none when it comes to online games. Coupled with the most robust character creator of any game, players are able to make Aion their own as they create genuinely unique characters and explore the world of Atreia.

I think it's safe to say that GameStop and Walmart will be the vendors of choice when generalizing, but what about you? Which of these color would you (or will you) choose?

For already established players, nothing has been announced as far as holiday events yet, but we should begin to hear what will happen over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Well, I do hope they allow players who have already bought the game to obtain the dyes in some way.

I feel cheated out of my black and white dyes just because I didn't refuse to buy their game till the holidays.

Nox_ · 11-10-2009, 11:08 PM

I thought this was a troll at first.

Damm · 11-10-2009, 11:08 PM

cool lol,

ten char

Gamer_Girl · 11-10-2009, 11:17 PM

I don't know if this is such a great idea. The only people who really care about dye is the people who own the game already.

Versal · 11-10-2009, 11:31 PM

Okay...that's going a bit too far...

Cybelle · 11-10-2009, 11:34 PM

It's a nice little perk for those who usually don't get anything special for buying a game.

I'm a little curious about Target though......the "true red dye" looks pretty green in the photo. So which is it? Wrong photo or is Target a "true green dye" store......

There's no photo for red

Knite · 11-10-2009, 11:39 PM

Hmm... I have images for red and green in my press release- Forgot to put red up but I don't see a vendor for green.

I'll replace it for now and if I hear anything about a "green" vendor, I'll post it!

Edit: removed green, added red. No idea which vendor the green is from, but if/when I find out I'll re-add it and the info.

Maybe GAME in Europe?

Adrael · 11-10-2009, 11:44 PM

Didn't this get posted about...I dunno, 12 hours ago?

Cybelle · 11-10-2009, 11:44 PM

Maybe green is going to be the ncsoft store color?

Today, 10:01 PM l2read duh.

The internet is a big place and lots of news gets posted lots of places at different times. But that doesn't mean everyone has seen it and the best place for Aion fans on AionSource to see news is on the news page.

lmao epic troll.

They picked a really bad armor set to show the dye colors on... You can barely tell the difference. There are much better armor sets they could've used that would have shown off the colors better.

ArtAsmod · 11-11-2009, 12:47 AM

so you only get 1 dye? or a set for all your armor?
