Like every other MMO I’ve played, Aion has its own celebrations for the Christmas period, known as the Solorius Festival. Decorations can be found throughout Atreia, though mostly in the cities of Sanctum and one would assume, Pandemonia. One very nice touch I found today on entering Sanctum was the playing of Christmas [...]
I almost always play the main healer in MMO’s. With Aion it wasn’t going to be any different and I had every intention of rolling a Cleric at launch. I decided to try some of the other classes during the Closed and Open Betas, the Chanter being one of them. I liked [...]
