Now as you will see this is the kind of mapping/graphics that you can expect from Aerion Online, but currently in the beta's this is only available to P2P members. Though as you will find out tommorrow on it's global release date, this may be an under-statement. Yet again without further commentary I would like to get to the things that everyone loves to hear, the features as they stand at the update:
2-Step Character Creation (Will Be Updated To Full Customization)
26 Free To Play, F2P Maps
Realistic Inn System
Real Time Battle System (Courtesy Of Our Own: Blizzard)
Auto-Updater (Courtesy Of Our Own: Jstacko)
MMO Compatibility (Courtesy Of NetPlay+)
Now these are simply the general features for the F2P area, and do not include the several additions granted to players and staff with a P2P account. P2P accounts include some of the most appeasing features such as the following:
Inter-Server Transfer (P2P from F2P)
23 Pay To Play,P2P Maps
Pet System
Mercenary System
Lottery System
Storage System
Bank System
Guild System
Weekly Guild Wars
Player Vs Player
Storyline Version
Though this is but a small comparison to all the features that we intend to add over the series of updates that will allow you to enhance your physical game play and enjoy the game to it's fullest potential. Yet what kind of game would this be if there weren't some features that you have to play to find out, but since I like to include everyone, here is a little hint on some top secret facts.
As you all will experience as you play the game, you will traditionally just try to go from place to place, you would never know that you were actually skipping some hidden areas! Throughout the game there are many hidden areas, some that reveal the storyline, and some that grant you special features simply by finding them, for example in one of the areas in the world of Aerion there is a place that will lead you through a huge branch of maps of which if you follow or explore the entire area you may actually find something that many hundreds of players missed, a lost civilization. Now as I wouldn't want to give it all away, I will simply tell you that sometimes finding these areas will be good or bad, but like in the scenario I exampled you may find yourself being a bit on the furry side.
Also in the game you may find random chests around the entire game, some of which may have been opened by other players, some that may not have, and what is in those chests may make you a very rich man because of it's contents rarity, or may make you a very very dead man, so the choice of risk is up to you.
Now to conclude I would like to give some view into the future of Aerion as those of you of whom have already played may be wondering about. Currently these are some of the additions planned for the near future:
Additions To Character Customization
4 New Races- Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc
Customizable Eye Color
Customizable Skin Color
Customizable Clothing Color
Other Aspects
Unlimited Amount Of New Maps
Unlimited Amount Of New Weapons
Unlimited Amount Of New Armor
Unlimited Amount Of New Items
Unlimited Amount Of Accessories
Unlimited Additions To Storyline
Unlimited Amount Of Monsters
Demon Races
New Class Types
Perfected Battle System (Courtesy Of Our Own: Blizzard)
Global Daylight System
Mouse Movement & Full Menu Operation
Though anyway, I hope that you all will enjoy the work spent into the creation of Aerion Online, and that you may share those experiences to all.
