Arriving a bit late to PAX 2009 in Seattle, Washington and finally entering the Washington State Convention Center. The first game that I went and found was not what you would think. No, it wasn’t to the Blizzard booth to play more World of Warcraft. Instead I headed to the NCSoft booth to play their new Massive Multi-play Online game, Aion.

Making a character was easier than I thought it would be and the customization was a lot more detailed as well. After making my female warrior for the game and logging in, I found the cut scene for the game action packed and was very interesting to get into. Afterwards I was finally able to play as my character and start questing. Our Chief Editor was right when we were discussing Aion in our podcast about the leveling, as it is a bit more of a grinding experience than it is in World of Warcraft. This is something I may or may not like when I play the final product. After questing up to 2 levels I finished up and moved on to our next location. I'll have my full impression soon.
