Aion 2

Yup, I'll be going Asmo / US East / israphel and in Discord for anyone that wants some help. Raes also tends to be a good source of information and has played a lot more recently than I have.



Everyone said this in Aion 1 as well and 95% of the servers were Elyos dominated. They did remove the aesthetics that made Asmo's unique so we'll see.

I blame it on the clawed feet. Nobody wants ugly feet.

Right on. I'm in south Texas so US East is optimal for me as well. I'm no longer a min/maxer like I used to be back in my vanilla/early WoW days... to many other games (and hobbies) I enjoy playing to dedicate purely to just one, lol.

Goal of anyone should be to have fun. You'll be in fine company as a casual, I'll have alts and don't mind running dungeons on them that aren't aimed at efficiency. Plus this one is different from a lot of most recent Asian games, its very casual friendly and relatively easy, especially for the first month.

Patiently waiting for launch, chilling on TW:

So I am hearing a lot of US East, Asmo Faction on the Israphel server for most people? I played this ever so briefly back in the day and wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

Now it is official:

I feel like asmo going to be super popular. Everyone wants to be a "Bad guy" and every streamer I see is going them too(so all their sheep follow).

Gamers have changed. It use to be that mmo players vastly preferred the good factions in games. When I played EQ everyone wanted to be good, evil races were not rare but not played as much. Same thing with WoW, I first played during BC and picked Horde. Turned out alliance dominated most servers back then.

And Aion was the same way. Almost every server in Aion 1 was dominated by the Elyos. Now everyone wants to be edgy and dark. Wouldn't be surprised if Asmos become the dominant faction.

I may have to pick Elyos this go around.
