Another MMORPG, but this one's different, honest



Developer's NCSoft have described their upcoming MMORPG as the 'most visually beautiful MMORPG ever made'.

Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a fantasy MMORPG, chronicling an epic conflict between the Chun, the Ma and a server-controlled NPC faction, the warlike Yong.

In Aion: The Tower of Eternity, players must choose a side between two warring factions: the Chun or the Ma. Once their world was whole; a perfect union joined at the centre by The Tower of Eternity. When a great catastrophe shattered The Tower of Eternity, it split the world into two halves - and awoke the Yong, a warring race exiled within the extra-dimensional Abyss. The Yong now seek revenge on both of these new worlds, sparking an epic conflict. The part you play, the side you choose and the decisions you make will help determine the ultimate fate of Aion.

Key Features
Interactive gameplay systems
The actions of each faction on each individual server will eventually trigger consequences, which will then change each server's live environment. No two servers should ever be the same.

PvPvE (Player vs Player vs Environment)
Aion: The Tower of Eternity features an evolving conflict system, which manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds. The system also controls a third NPC faction, the Yong, who may act as the enemy - or the ally - of players.

Free flying and flying combat
Take to the skies and soar over the landscape, with wings that allow your character to access remote areas, travel to different parts of the world - and to engage enemies in aerial combat! Created using a modified version of the Crytek engine (as used in Far Cry), Aion: The Tower of Eternity is the most graphically beautiful MMORPG yet released. Astounding levels of detail on characters and in environments immerse you in the world of Aion.
