Aion: Tower of Enternity - Beginnings Part I

I’ve got nothing to do this Holy Week so I decided to try Aion China OBT. Honestly, I've waited long for this game. Several days before OBT, I downloaded the 6Gig client, patched-up then registered an account. Everything is written in chinese, but there are a lot of guides scattered across the web. There is also an English patch which translates the whole game for a better gaming experience.

I selected the server Azariel since most english speaking players are there.

My avatar’s name is Xathanael, an Elyos dweller. Check out some of my screenshots below:

THE BEGINNING

Sleeping on the job again. Elyos new characters are spawned at Akarios Plain, south of Akarios Village. The game starts with your avatar being awakened from sleep... I’ve met a lot of new players. Some made me LOL due to the looks of their avatars; some so ugly, some so small (midgets) and some look out of this world.

I’m ready to explore. I studied the basic game interface and controls, learned to speak with NPCs and obtained some quests. The controls are similar to most online games out there.

Sleep. Characters can summon their own bed as an emote. Surprising... hehehe

It’s raining. While the character is idle and exposed to rain, a leaf will be summoned automatically.
