Aion servers are back online following a successful server merge and several exciting in-game and out of game happenings are planned over the next few weeks. If you still doubt whether to participate in this event or not take a look at some rewards…

Dash of the Daevas will kick things off with a bang, starting just after the servers come up on the 14th July. You’ll be pitted against friends and enemies alike, in a race to achieve specially selected server ‘firsts’. There probably isn’t any significant need to further explain what properties constitute a ‘first’, besides mentioning the very fundamental fact of it denoting the first time something is accomplished!

After much haggling we’ve managed to convince Ettanyerk of the Black Cloud Traders to part with some in-game goodies to give away as rewards. The achievements work either on a per Faction, Legion or Group basis, and are as follow (including their reward):

First Divine Fortress Capture
Faction reward: 5 Major Crowns per player
Legion reward: Custom Armor Skins

First Faction to capture all Fortresses in the Lower Abyss
Faction reward: 1 Major Crown per player

First Faction to capture all Fortresses in the Upper Abyss
Faction reward: 3 Major Crowns per player

First Group to best Tahabata Pyrelord
Reward: Premium Weapon Skins

First Group to defeat Unstable Triroan
Groupreward: 5 Black Dyes per player

First Group to defeat Lord Lannok
Group reward: 5 White Dyes per player

First Group to defeat Nochsana General
Group reward: 5 Black Dyes per player

First Menotios the Destroyer kill
Faction reward: 5 Major Crowns per player
Legion reward: 5 Major Crowns per player

(There are several undisclosed achievements to keep you on your toes in addition to the above)

To qualify for the rewards, you must be the first Faction, Legion or Group to achieve these landmarks. But due to the nature of the agreement established with Ettanyerk, he wants results within two weeks.

At the end of those two weeks we’ll announce the winners, and they will at this time receive their rewards via the in game mail system, courtesy of Ettanyerk’s cousin, Kaknyerk of the United Postal Services Association of Atreia.

Good luck and happy hunting, Daevas.

This week’s poll is about features that you’ve probably came a cross in other MMORPGs. The question for this week is: What do you miss the most in Aion?
