GamePlay:
  • WASD movement is fully supported with auto facing target it seems
  • Thread #1
  • Thread #2
  • Click to move as well probably =)
  • Flight is controlled using WASD
  • You can jump and climb
  • It is possible to alter the result of combat by maneuvering the character. (Forward, back, left, right, jump)
Transportation:
  • there are 2 ways of transportation : short and long. Short distance uses a flight path, like describe in the wings part (scroll up) and teleporting is for longer transfers.
  • No mounts at release, maybe later...
  • Thread #1
  • Thread #2
Auction house & Personal shops:
  • Yes, both are in game.
Guilds:
  • There are 3 level :
    • The first level costs 135.000 Quina, allows 30 members, and a random crest is selected.
    • The second level costs 845.000 Quina, requires 10 members, allows 60 members, and you can select the crest.
    • The third level costs 3.151.000 Quina, requires 20 members & 10.000 GuildPoint, allows ?? members, and you can create your own crest.

  • Translation - Best thread
  • Thread #1
  • Thread about guild emblems
Player housing/guild housing :
  • This is something that’s still in early development but yes. Players will be able to own a house and decorate it. There will be guild housing as well. Having these houses out on the hunting fields might result in a land shortage so we’re working on coming up with solutions for this.
  • About Player housing: Not at launch, but definitely as soon as possible. It is likely to be in the first expansion.
  • Thread
Potions/foods/drinks :
  • There will be health and mana recovery potions with instant effect. They will, however, have a re-use timer to prevent excessive usage. There will also be foods with different effects on your character. Food will basically work as a kind of buff, of which only one can be active at the same time.
Music: UI-Addons:
  • A customizable/"Open source" User Interface is still under consideration. The problem is that it could open up opportunities for hackers and malicious tools (exploitation).

In Game voice chat?: Macros ?:Worlds/area:
  • The world of Aion resembles a partially hollowed out globe, divided horizontally into two halves. The lower half is the world of the Elyos, the upper half is the world of the Asmodians. So basically the world-map of Aion is not on a horizontal plane, like a traditional fantasy world; instead it's vertical. With this in mind, some parts of both worlds can only be accessed from the air - such as floating castles, and islands in the sky. Because of this, all of the player characters can gain wings.
  • The area lying in between the two halves of Atreia is referred to as the Abyss. The Elyos' half is named Elysea while the Asmodian's half is named Asmodae.

Is Aion’s world seamless or zoned? :
  • The world is zoned and there are several transportation methods available including walking, flight, and teleportation. The loading speed between zones is still in tuning but even at this point it ís very short.
Project about video website and ventrilo/Ts/shoutcast dedicated to aion:Character customizations:
  • You'll be able to change the appearance of your hairstyle, hair color, facial, body, voice, as well as two special features.
  • The game's voices will be localized for each of the three countries. There will be initially 25 tones which will be used during emotes.
