One of the exhibition halls.

I forgot the battery charger for my own camera at home and had to spend the preceding few days looking to buy a new one at a decent price. Unfortunately I didn’t find any, and I managed to lose the battery somewhere while at it. In other words, check out some pictures AoS grabbed from the event over in their event section instead.

Aion Online Sverige group picture. Are you doing something similar with your legion or fansite? Send me the pics!

As a total surprise I brought a laptop with Aion playable for those who weren’t able to make it to Leipzig this year. Needless to say, the affection was immediate.

The Aion-effect in action, manifested by “sejml”.

After getting rid of the initial Aion-twitches, we headed outside the exhibition area to grab a bite, courtesy of NCsoft. ;)

You will be surprised to find that DreamHack takes place far out in the suburban concrete woods of Jönköping, Sweden, and as such is located painfully far away from anywhere with great food. We ended up taking up all the chairs and tables of a fast food place where paper plates and plastic cutlery had been put out to celebrate the occasion.

To sum it up, I had great fun hanging out with everyone, grabbing the group picture and trying to write AION with human bodies in front of the camera. Definitely looking forward to meeting everyone again next year!

Stay smooth and remain jacked in to the Aion matrix.


That is all!

It says you're from Sweden as well? Cheers Ayase, it was certainly a great event, and it was fun to have you with us.

ps. Though you look like a zombie on the above mentioned experiment to write Aion with human bodies. xD

Yeah, well... :P I didn't know if I wanted to go to Dreahack this time, and I chose not to. If I had known about the Aion Sverige meet-up that may have changed my mind. And the chance of playing Starcraft 2 aswell

He's actually hugging the laptop playing Aion. A most honorable activity.

Edit: Hit the "Read more"-link. The first post doesn't have the entire news item for some reason, cutting out a part in the middle (odd?).
