Official Aion Forums

The first stop on our way looking at Aion forums are the official Aion forums by NCSoft. The design of the forums are really great, a a bit WoW-esk. The official Aion forums are divided into various sections:

• News and Information
• Community
• Sever Forums
• Class Discussion
• Aion Discussion
• Technical Discussion

Although the official forums had a bit of a hiccup lately, they’re still a great place to post and find information about all the various aspects of Aion. It may take a while for the forums to mature, but every game seems like this, and it takes time to find decent moderators to slam the bannhammer.

AionSource Forums

I like AionSource alot, and you probably do too. These guys (and gals) know what they’re doing. Brought to you by Curse.com, the AionSource forums are some of the best out there right now because the maturity of the forums are top notch. Although you still have troll posts (when isn’t there a troll post?), there are tons of helpful guides, tips, and Aion information packed in these forums.

The AionSource forums are divided into:

• Aion News
• Server-Specific Forums
• Aion Gameplay
• Schools and Classes
• Guides & Analysis
• Legions
• Everything Else

What’s particularly great about the AionSource forums is that the structure is well intact. It’s extremely easy to navigate, and the moderates do a great job at making sure the best posts are available to read.

AionForums Forums

AionForums is the first result you find when Googling “Aion Forums”. This site is simple a vBulletin set up with plenty of sub-topics to choose from. The AionForums are mature, with roughly 3,000 members. The overall design is exactly what you’d expect from a template on vBulletin, but don’t let it deter you from finding a lot of great information.

The AionForums are divided into:

• General
• Aion: The Tower of Eternity
• Factions
• Classes
• Severs
• Off-Topic

Although the color scheme is a bit bright for my liking, it still has a lot of great posts to check out, very helpful information.

Thoughts

Overall, I find it pretty interesting to see that the Official Aion forums opened so late for the NA release. With the success such as WoW, I figured NCSoft would want to keep all of the traffic upon their site. On the flip side, it’s really awesome when a big game company doesn’t support certain aspects of the community, allowing it to build by itself (just look at all the 3rd party WoW sites).

Over time we will see which of these sites will hold the dominant user base, but my bet is on AionSource. The combination of Curse.com, and an amazing group of posters already on board, will make them stick out above the rest.

Not everyone wants to play through Aion, reading every quest log, doing ever quest. That’s just how it is. These players are often the power gamers, which love the challenge of speed leveling.

I often find myself trying to speed level after I’ve reached max level on 1 or 2 characters. It’s kind of like an iron man contest on a hardcore server. It’s just one of those things you do eventually to spice up the game. It can be really fun as well, grabbing a friend and seeing who can reach max level in the shortest amount of time, making bets.

Then there is also the person who would just like a guide. They make guides for every game, hence why you always see those Strategy Guides for console games. Well, online games are exactly the same. Often these people play during the beta stages and gather all of the information, trying out different leveling tricks, different routes, and so on. Some guides may be more comprehensive than others, while others may be more efficient.

KFGuides is one of those sites which offers guides for both Elyos and Asmodian. As a sample, they’ve released their leveling guides for the first 10 levels of Aion for both Elyos and Asmodian. There are tons of detailed maps for the starting zones, each giving off directions and numbers on where to go next.

If you’ve ever played WoW, you probably have heard of the Kopp’s, Zygor, Nyhmns, and others leveling guides. This is basically the same thing, except for Aion. Besides the leveling guides, there are member areas along with free videos of pvp, crafting, and pve. It’s a pretty interesting site imo, and should be checked out at some point, since you’ll probably see it around sometime.

But anyway, I’m going to shut up and let you check it out.
