Aion : Version 2.5 Overview
Aion players in North America and Europe have been playing Aion v2.1 for awhile and will see the second half of the update arrive in early 2011. Korean Aion players, however, are taking on the 2.5 update that will bring significant changes to the game. MMORPG.com Community Manager Michael Bitton had the opportunity to sit down with Associate Producer Sean Neil to talk about what 2.5 will bring to the table. Check it out and then let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
Players looking for new content to tackle won't be disappointed with version 2.5, as NCsoft will be introducing two new instances to the game. Version 2.0 "Assault on Balaurea" moved the game's storyline towards all-out war with the Balaur and the introduction of version 2.5 will mark another change in the game's storyline, as the Daevas pull back in order to resupply and retrain. To that end, two new instances will reflect this change in storyline, the first, will send Daevas out to cut off the Balaur supply line, while the second is an arena-style instance where players will test their mettle against waves upon waves of enemies.
