An impressive list of new features

Assault on Balaurea is the new name of Aion update 2.0, an expansion pack-sized chunk of content in which the forces of Asmodae and Elysea bring the fight to the residence world of the invading Balaur. The update will add in eight new instanced areas and some massive new WOW Gold, while increasing the level cap to level 55, giving the top tier players a bit further to reach.

The update also introduces a series of in-game pets that will aid characters in crafting, store the player’s items, and sound an alarm when trouble is near, as well as the ability to post screenshots directly to Twitter through the in-game user interface.

An impressive list of new features, but what use are new features if no one is around to play them? That’s the issue NCsoft is working on in update 1.9, due out on test servers tomorrow, with a full rollout expected on June 2.

Don't miss your chance to meet the Aion team and check out the NCsoft booth at this summer's hottest events. Aion is going on the road and will be at the San Diego Comic-Con, gamescom in Cologne, and the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle this summer!
