Aion 2: Join Our Reader-Guided Adventure Into the New MMO

Ever wish you could tell a games writer exactly how to play an MMO? Well, now's your chance.

Our Choose My Adventure series is changing things up. Instead of the usual weekly digest format, we're moving to a guided set of adventures — and the first stop is Aion 2. If you caught the note back in September, you already knew this shift was coming. Now it's actually happening.

Before you dive into the comments: yes, all the images in this piece are press pics. That's intentional. We haven't set foot in Aion 2 yet. Think of this as the planning phase — the character creation screen before you even pick a class.

So why Aion 2? It's the sequel to a beloved MMO, and it's shaping up to be one of the bigger launches on the horizon. But rather than just grinding through it solo and reporting back, we want this journey to be a group effort. That means you get to call the shots on the big decisions.

Here's how it'll work: as we move through the game, you'll help steer everything from class and faction choices to which content we chase first. The series is now less about a weekly recap and more about a shared path — one that unfolds with your input at every turn.

We're still in the prep stage right now, so there's no gameplay to report yet. But that's exactly why this is the perfect moment to get involved. Once we're in, your votes and suggestions will shape the entire run.

Keep an eye out for the first real steps into Aion 2. Until then, start thinking about what you'd want to see. What class should we roll? Which faction deserves our loyalty? And what's the first thing you'd want us to check out?
