Ding!
My orginal goal was to hit level 25 within the first week but as they say the best laid plans. Not really sure what the rest of the saying is but whatever. Last night after grueling repeatable quests I finally hit level 25. A few of my friends and I had run out of quests around level 24. I’ve found that soloing by far nets you the best xp but let’s face it this is an MMO and soloing...

Chanter Tip: Hot Damn We Can Wear Mail!
I think one of my biggest pet peeves is when I see another chanter running around and I stop to inspect them I notice something very very scary…..they are in cloth! Chanters and clerics for that matter can wear chain mail. Please for the love of Aion put some on. Chanters and Clerics are the only class whose highest available armor designation is chain mail. And while we chanters are a...

Aion: Tower of Que
It’s no secret that since the pre-selection and head start of Aion the que times have been a bit of a problem. It’s even become a bit of a joke with survival guides posted to help ease your time in the que. Generally I am not one to complain much when it comes to my MMOs. I can put up with most anything. I come from, despite my cries otherwise, hard core gaming stock. I’ve put...

The Countdown to Aion begins....
In about 3 hours the servers should be live for Aion’s head start. This is it folks. There will probably be a mad dash to the login screen, the servers are more than likely explode, and as I type this it seems as if the Aion site is down due to high amounts of traffic. Personally I think they took it down to put up all those new goodies they spoke about last week. I can’t wait to...

Finally! My Aion Pre-select is DONE!
Okay, yes I am a crackhead. Yes I woke up at something like 8 this morning so that I could check on the server pre-selection status. And yes the minute I saw my server was unlocked I rushed and created my character. So here she is, my soon to be Elyos chanter Jadzia. 5 bonus points if you can pick up the name reference. ^_-
My goals for head start:
1. Get Jadzia to 20-22. Most of my legion mates...

Aion Pre-selection Day!!! Hey wait a minute....
Well the day started with excitement. I pre-ordered Aion months ago so I knew all about the pre-selection that would happen today. My friends and I planned during open beta which server we would be on. It was a well planned and thought out process. Okay not really we just pinned a tail on a donkey and called it a day. LOL. Kidding. Either way the server was picked and today when I got home I was...

Aion videos cause I'm not paitent...
Well I have about a week until Aion comes out and thankfully I’ll be playing in the head start cause I need my gaming fix. I’ve been searching you tube looking at videos to hold me over until Ayase yells that the servers are up and I can play.

Goodbye Aion until next time...
With only a few hours left to the Aion Open Beta its time for me to say good bye to my little chanter. She made it all the way to level 25 and got to see some of the abyss before I had to call it a night. ‘sniff I will miss her so. That is until pre-selection next Friday when I can make her all over again.
The Woes of Region Chat
First please forgive me for the lack of updates this week I’ve been fighting a sinus infection. I haven’t really felt like doing much of anything but passing out on my sofa. I did manage to get in a few hours play time in the Aion OB here and there between moments of being doped up on meds and I’ve started noticing a horrible trend with region chat. So much so that last night...

And there off...
Aion’s Open Beta started on Sunday to some not to wonderful cheers. If you follow #Aion on Twitter as I do then you know that the beta launch started late and there were serious lag, connection, and game guard issues. Having played the closed betas I was a bit disappointed only because I expected so much more from the Aion West team. Even though the game was unplayable for me until last...
Computer go BOOM!
Last Sunday after 4 faithful years my computer finally decided to blow up on me. It crashed and it crashed hard. I’ve spent the past week getting things some what back in working order but what that means is I’ve had to put the blog on the back burner for a bit. I felt that waiting any longer to actually put out the blog would be a bad idea so we are no longer in coming soon status....
