Backstory (From Wikipedia):

When the god Aion created the world of Atreia, They created the Drakan—powerful dragon-like beasts tasked with safeguarding the humans; performing Aion's will on the planet; and protecting the Tower of Eternity, Aion's physical presence on Atreia. For a time, the Drakan obeyed Aion; but over time, they began to enjoy their power, ignoring their duties and abusing the humans who inhabited Atreia. Aion took notice, creating the twelve Empyrean Lords in response. Angelic in appearance, the Empyrean Lords were demigods who walked amongst humans, and used a force called "Aether" to create a powerful barrier, later to be called an aetheric field, around the Tower of Eternity, protecting all of those within. While the outside world continued to be ravaged by the Drakan, who had become the more ferocious Balaur; the humans within the barrier managed to tap into the Aether, gaining their own powers. In time, they would become known as the Daeva.
As time went on, the Lords decided that they had to be more aggressive in stopping the Balaur. With the number of Daeva growing in size, the Lords decided to form an army, with ten of the Empyrean Lords leading the Daeva into battle; while the remaining two, Siel and Israphel, protected the Tower of Eternity (thus earning the title "Tower Lords"). This conflict between the Balaur and the Empyrean Lords would come to be known as the Millennium War, which led to no real progress by any side. As the war progressed, a faction of Lords began to view the war as unwinnable, and Lord Israphel proposed a discussion of peace with the Balaur. This surprise proposal drew criticism from within the faction; after a lengthy and heated debate, seven of the twelve Lords became the winning majority to move forward with the plan.
However, for reasons unclear, the negotiation failed. When the Balaur arrived at the Tower of Eternity, a commotion broke out, killing a Balaurian captain; the remaining Balaur, enraged, marched upon and destroyed the Tower, which set off a chain reaction that threatened to destroy the planet. However, Israphel and Siel made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their own lives to protect Atreia. The world was shattered into two "hemi-shells", with a dark Abyss lying between them; but it was held together by the aetheric field created from the Tower Lords' sacrifice.
While the Balaur were banished to the Abyss, the Empyrean Lords found themselves in conflict with each other. Two groups were formed as a result, each with five Lords; the Seraphim, who had proposed the peace solution and blamed the others for sabotaging the peace negotiations by failing to agree to them; and the Shedim, who blamed the Seraphim, believing that their weakness and their proposing of the peace talk allowed the Balaur to gain the upper hand. From that day on, the two sides became bitter enemies.
The Shedim migrated to Asmodae, the dark and harsh upper, inner half of the planet; while the Seraphim Lords settled in Elysea, the light and abundant bottom half. They both took their humans and Daeva with them, and over time, they adapted to their respective new worlds and declared the opposing side their mortal enemies. Those in Asmodae became the Asmodians, rugged survivors, gaining dark features and a fierce loyalty to their kind. Those in Elysea became the Elyos, growing even more beautiful and believing themselves to be Aion's chosen people (although they have grown arrogant). From that day on, they would wage war for centuries as enemies.

Classes:
There are six subclasses, and eleven main classes in the game. Players start the game by choosing one of the six primary classes: Warrior, Mage, Scout, Priest, Technist or Muse. After attaining level 10, the player must choose from two specialized classes associated with their chosen class (with the exception of Muse, which at the time can only ascend to a Songweaver). Warriors may become a Templar or a Gladiator; Mages may become a Sorcerer or Spiritmaster; Scouts may become an Assassin or Ranger; Priests may become a Cleric or a Chanter; Technist may become a Gunslinger or Aethertech; Muse may become a Songweaver.

Other stuff:
After you create an account, you can have up to 8 characters per server. (There's 4 servers)
If you make an Elyos character on a server, you can't create an Asmodian character on that same server, you'd have to go to a different server to do so. Same goes for if you were to make an Asmodian character on a server. So far, the highest level your character can be is level 65.
The character customization is really good and really diverse, however I've come to find out that the eye color, though it's an option, won't change. I'm not sure if it's just for my computer or not, but it just doesn't work. Everything else works fine, though.

I know it's a pain, but it's worth it ^^
The graphics are really good, and so is the story line, and character coustmization.
If you have the patience to download it, you totally should do it. I can help on join.me if you'd like (though it's not that complicated)

i've gotten as far as to where you have to install the updates, but aion keeps giving me errors when it's almost done updating..

When I had to redownload it, Aion did that to me too, but you just have to be patient and keep retrying. Do something else while it downloads and check in on it every so often to make sure it's still running. It'll work eventually

I'll just hope you copy-pasted that backstory...

I did, don't worry.

Hello, I'm bringing this thread back up because I recently downloaded the game and started playing it!
Although the downloading time sucks major ass, the game is actually really fun! I highly recommend it.
I've contacted Kiokosama (the author of this thread) about whether or not she's returning to forums, and alas she is not-- so that means I'll probably be updating this thread with new users, etc..
The game has recently launched it's 5.1 update if I'm correct, so that means more has been added!

If you feel like playing, make sure to add me and I'll help you out! (I'm a level 31 assassin by the name of "Khedric.")
