Character Wings and Flight
The first important thing to take note is that all characters in Aion are given a set of wings. Flight is perhaps the most important tool that you'll be given to use in the game, and you'll be expected to fly through aerial combat and expect battles at every visual angle. Needless to say, flight is one of the main features of the game and its something that many are anticipating. When you first settle into the game with your character won't have wings, but the Ascension trial process starts at level 10 and this is where the wings come in.
Monster Rankings
When faced with a monster, you'll be interested to hear that you'll get more detail than just the monster's name. Rather, the monster's name will be highlighted in a color that dictates how much of a threat or challenge that it faces to your character. For example, the most dangerous monsters' names will be highlighted in red while dark orange ones will provide a real threat to your character.
Game Graphics
Other MMO games may have impressed you, and Aion certainly does its job in this arena as well. The graphics and characterizations are stunningly awesome in this game. Aion's graphic engine gives a life-life appearance and performance to just about everything in the game from the enemies to the characters. In fact, it's been reported that character customizations are so in-depth that some characters have been created that look like Barack Obama as well as Michael Jackson.
Item Crafting
When customizing your character you'll also be given the chance to choose your character's craft and weapons. Aion gives you the ability to actually make your own weapons and you can customize them however you want through color dyes and physical appearance. In addition, you can have crafts and skills that go beyond your character's normal limits with the Stigma feature in Aion.
Playing Aion: The Tower of Eternity will definitely rank up with some of the best MMO games that you've ever played, including WoW, Lineage, and Blizzard. The in-depth graphic engine, ability to fly and wings that is given to each character, as well as item crafting make this game a fun and exciting chance for new players of MMO games as well as those who are already skilled.
