Aion: The Tower of Eternity, known also as The Tower of AION in Japan is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released by NCsoft, a major Korean game developer. It was released in North America under the one-word title of Aion.
Players begin the game as human inhabitants of their chosen world (Elysia or Asmodae) who have had significant memory loss occur. Through attempting to retrieve their lost past and completing other tasks along the way, they are revealed as winged, immortal Daevas. After this has happened, the characters "ascend" to their respective capital cities to begin their lives as holy servants of their respective people. The worlds are almost completely separate until a player enters the abyss. The story and tone of the game differ greatly between the worlds, as do the landscapes and characters one encounters; however the basic linear progression is the same.
There are four primary classes, and eight specialized classes in the game. Players start the game by choosing one of the four primary classes: Warrior, Mage, Scout, or Priest. After attaining level 10, the players must choose from the two specialized classes associated with that base class. This allows players to get a feel for the playstyle of the class before making a major decision as to which class to play for the rest of the game. Each faction will have a slight variation in class skills.
