Legion

From AionSource.com Wiki

A Guild or Legion is a community of gamers within MMORPGs. Thanks to a translation provided by AionSource member jameinkaiser, we have information regarding guild support in the game. While guild is the typical title, the translator has found some ambiguity in its translation, so as of now, it will be officially regarded as guild. But it may be referred to as legion.

Legion system, from creation to management

Author: GameMeca Eltanin

In order to enjoy every aspect of gameplay Aion has to offer, joining a legion is a must. Of course, it’s still okay to enjoy the game alone, but in order to participate in the upcoming Abyss sieges and massive RvR, you will need companions. The most effective way to do this would be to join a legion.

You may find many legion websites with the keyword Aion, but the actual number of active legions in-game isn’t as numerous as those who are interested in forming their own once it becomes available.

So, I have written a short guide to walk you through the basics of legions from creation to management.

Establishing a Guild

In order to create a guild, the Guild leader must find the appropriate NPCs located in the Legion Registration Office in the capital cities. The process isn’t complicated as you do not need to obtain signatures; but with the cost being 135,000 Qina, it won’t be easy to create a legion alone. Naturally, you would need contributions from your to-be-legionnaires.

Things to look out for when naming your guild

1. You may have up to ten characters for the name of your guild. (Translator’s note: This only applies to the Korean version; keep in mind that Asian characters (full width katakana/hiragana/hangul/hanzi) take up twice as much space as Latin letters) 2. You may not have special characters or spaces in the name of your guild. (Translator’s note: Again, may not be applicable for NA/EU versions) 3. Even if you accidentally close the window or click cancel when naming your guild after having already paid the money, you can still continue where you left off by talking to the NPC again.

The legion crest will be displayed on the player tool tip; initially the crest is selected randomly and cannot be changed. Later on as the legion advances in level, the crest may be changed and player-made crests may be registered as well via Crest Manager NPC.

Legion Level

Currently, a legion may advance up to level 3 as revealed from CBT. Level 2 and 3 have far more complicated requirements than the initial registration process. In order to keep advancing the legion’s level, it may be required to take constant contributions from members and create funds for the advancement process.

Please refer to the table below for specifics.

Because it was so difficult to obtain guild points in CBT 1, players opted to register several Lvl1 legions instead of forming a single large guild.

Since the cost of maintaining a legion grows as the legion itself grows in membership, management skills will become very useful and important as the guild grows larger. Members’ activity will play a crucial role in obtaining guild points.

What are guild points?

Nothing much is known of this yet, but it is assumed that it involves activity in the Abyss. In the 1st CBT, some points were accumulated by defeating monsters that invaded a fortress due to a disturbance in the flow of Od(?). (This term is still mostly unknown) It is assumed that personal GP gain contributes to the legion’s GP, and may also be obtained by killing players and NPCs of the enemy faction.

Legion Chat

Should a guild have a large number of players on waitlist, a separate non-guild channel may be created and be used as a guild chat.

Managing your members

There are three generic ranks available: Legion Master, Officers, and Members. In the 1st CBT, there wasn’t an option to customise or create a rank. Members’ privileges and ranks can only be edited by the Legion Master.

Legion Bank

Legion Bankers can be found in the racial capitals. Only members with privileges may use the guild bank. The privileges can be set by the Legion Master through the control panel. [Image:Xlat5.jpg|left|thumb]
