An interview between Aion West Producer Liv and Aion Lead Designer Yongchan Jee revealed some of the upcoming plans for their highly anticipated MMORPG game due for release next month.
It appears they are planning to implement player and legion housing, and they specifically noted Balaur will never be a playable race in Aion. There are already expansion plans in the works as well, but that’s too far away for any sort of details. The other interesting part was the talk about mounts. Even though mounts aren’t exactly anything new, they are supposed to be used for something other than transportation in Aion, since that part is already covered with wings.
I’m definitely intrigued by the fact they are adding mounts, however I rather would see them as another transportation mechanic. Wings unfortunately can’t be used everywhere and gliding also has its limits and at times it seems traveling is a real pain, especially at lower levels where you can’t use your wings in most zones.
The game isn’t even released yet so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
