Aion has certainly made quite an impact at launch, with impressive subscriber numbers, a broad spectrum of starting content, and - of course - a groundswell of fan support for the game. AionSource, the Curse network site devoted to Aion, has recently obtained an exclusive interview with the game's lead designer, Yongchan Lee, in which community-submitted questsions are put forth to Mr. Lee to get a sense of where the game is going to be heading over the next few months.
For fans of the game, there are certainly some interesting questions here, ranging from strict interface concerns (such as the addition of a dual-targeting system) to specific mentions of class balance (Spiritmaster pet issues are brought up more than once) and individual character customization. The answers are brief, as designer interviews tend to be, but Mr. Lee took the time to insert a fair bit of information in each response, and even a bit of humor regarding the issue of allowing swimming.
Enjoy the peek inside the near future of one of the more popular new MMO launches around. And if you're one of the many fans who can't get enough information about the game, keep your eyes open for our own NCSoft interview, coming in the not-very-distant future.
