Into the Abyss of Aion

[Zeli]

I never go this far, so it’s a good read for me. MMORPG.com takes a peek into the Abyss of Aion, which is the PvP area of the game. This is an area I’m really curious about, and a little nervous, but this article has calmed some fears.

The Abyss will provide you with more quests and monsters that can take you all the way up to level 50. Although you can choose between staying in your relatively safe homeland to level up, taking the more dangerous route of leveling in the Abyss will reward you with increased experience gain from monsters, as well as a steady income of Abyss Points - which serve as both a measurement of your PvP rank and a currency for PvP items, crafting recipes and Abyss abilities. The highest-ranked officers of a faction get access to the most powerful rewards, some of them can actually transform a player and enhance his power considerably for a short amount of time, granting him additional, devastating abilities. However upon death, or when you buy rewards, you lose Abyss Points, and can even be demoted to a lower rank again.

On that note, a fairly new podcast popped up in Itunes called Aion's World. It's a couple of female gamers who have been playing Chinese Aion and they give some good insight on the Abyss, in the 3rd episode. Their episodes have been short and sweet (20-30 min) but they always get into some good info.

The podcast doesn't seem to play through the site as of now, but you can get it through Itunes.
