Originally released in 2009, Aion was cast as a mold-breaking MMO by NCSoft. It didn't, however, measure up to its hype. In the years since then, the dev team has worked quite hard to make Aion into the game it should have been on release. With the Assault on Balaurea expansion, did the team reach its goal? Find out in MMORPG.com Lead Writer Bill Murphy's re-review of Aion in the post Assault on Balaurea era.
Version 2.5 will include some major changes and additions to Aion’s systems. The most noteworthy addition is the introduction of a new “Helper” system that doles out quests to higher level players tasking them with helping lower level players with their questing and rewarding the higher level player with coin.
Aion’s map system will see a major overhaul with 2.5 as well; Sean Neil described the new map as a kind of “Google Maps for Aion”. The new map will be a 3D topographical map, as opposed to the current static JPEG image players are used to working with at the moment. The new map will allow for zooming in, getting directions to certain NPCs, etc.
