The big gaming LAN party is being held in Sweden right now and NCSoft is representing in full. Aion_Ayase is there to promote Aion to the crowds, along with the Swedish fan community members that are enjoying the PvP tournaments. There is a 3v3 tournament and a FFA tournament going on and finals will be hosted on Saturday. If you are visiting by any chance, you will be able to find Tutty, since they are handing out pink squishable pigs to innocent bystanders . If you get a hold of one – we want pictures!
BTW, First FFA brawl was won by the aiononline.se community members (congrats) and they won some great swag from Razor and SteelSeries.
The power to create and change stats and attributes is welcome in every MMORPG. While you are trying to get the best armor sets or weapons additional attributes will help you to be proud of your non-green/blue/orange items.
Over the last week Aion team has been working on a list – who was naughty or nice. Ban Hammer Claus just came to town. Nearly 16,000 accounts have been removed from the game. If your account was banned, please read the following FAQ.
NCsoft has released new video – AION Never ending Challenge. It’s early to give the list of specific details but the video shows new content expansion, new underwater skills, housing system, mounts and amazing graphics. The question is how long we have to wait for this?

Mounts: Single Player Mounts, Passenger Seat on Some MOunts, Combat Mounts
Housing: Decorate them how you want, Personal Housing, Furniture
New Skills
New Weapons: Whips, Crossbows, Shields That Turn into Grappling Type Hooks, Massive Ground Sieges with massive Siege weapons.
Patching in Europe did not go too smooth this Wednesday. Since the patch for improved performance and crysystem.dll crash had to be applied to the servers themselves, it was a bit trickier than just patching user clients. It took the whole night to be done and to apologize to its European players, NCSoft is giving one extra day to all its current EU subscribers. It might take up to 5 days to see the change on your account though, so don’t be alarmed if you don’t see it right away.
Aion’s very own community team put up another one of their Eye on Community articles on the official site (we were featured as well – wooooooo). The thing I really got impressed with were a couple of pictures made by an Aion fan on DevianArt. Artist known as nitro-killer decided to share its impression of Asmodians and Aion Love. It took him 5 days to complete the amazing Asmodians image. You can see both images bellow, but I recommend you go through his whole gallery at DeviantArt.
Having impressive visuals Aion can be a great source for making impressive videos using in-game footage. The Machinima community seems to agree and first couple of videos have been released in the past 10 days. They are both music video types of things, but with great video editing and some nice effects.
First one is a Machinima made by Nill on the Kalil server during October – November 2009. Music in the background is “Blow me Away” by Breaking Benjamin.
The other hails from BaronSoosdon that has been making WoW machinimas for some time now. His previous experience clearly shows, as the video feels pretty epic. Compared to his WoW work, there’s an evident lack of Model Viewer for Aion that would greatly help making custom scenes with effects. Here’s what BaronSoosdon had to say about the video:
Some of you might know me from the WoW-machinima scene.
Well, now I present you my first (which also might be the last) Aion machinima. It’s a bit of a mash-up between a music video and an exploration piece.
The video is done in the style of my Unlimited Escapism (World of Warcraft) videos, but with more music video-styled editing.
Making Aion machinima is currently only limited to ingame filming since there is no model viewer of any kind.
You can find a downloadable FullHD 1080p version and a little writeup about making of this machinima on his blog.
Only after the patch has been applied and made available to the general public, have Aion community mangers explained that a possible fix for infamous crysystem.dll error during fort sieges has been included in the patch. We have added this information to our 1.5.1 patch notes page and bellow are the details
Optimizations have been made within the game to assist with the performance issues that characters experience during Sieges and other resource intensive activities
This should significantly cut down on the amount of CrySystem.dll errors that players have been reporting
Can’t be traded Can’t be stored in account warehouse Can’t be stored in Legion warehouse Available for Level 50 or higher
Metal ore transformed after absorbing the powerful magic of Balaur, it is also called as the Ore of Death. Normally not used due to its high toxicity, but skilled Daevas are known to use DP to remove the toxin.
