NCsoft and the Aion staff have been spending a lot of time lately working to get the Aion community involved and engaged in ways beyond just playing the game. They began with the Eye on Community feature, brought out Aion apparel, and now NCsoft gives you Aion Around the World.
The Aion team is enjoying the international popularity of their game and want to see it in action. Community Manager Andrew "Tamat" Beegle explains "to highlight the global phenomenon that Aion has become, we want to see pictures of our community members in public locations. We're looking for pictures of our players participating in exciting activities or showcasing Aion-themed merchandise, art, or cosplay."
Tamat and two other Aion team members Ayase and Amboss illustrated the idea by cleverly getting themselves into one photo while 5,000 miles apart. (We anticipate someone taking the idea a step farther by doing the same thing with their entire guild.) Aion will be featuring the pictures on their site for the next few months, so get to work on those wings, grab your camera, and send your photos to the Aion Community email. Have fun!

For me the game has really picked up after 25. The abyss and group instances really adds alot. But, the bot and gold spammer problems are downright awful and needs to get resolved FAST or more people will start leaving.

In an ideal world, a giant foot would have descended from heaven and crushed that pair before they saw fit to inflict themselves on an unsuspecting world.
And yeah, bring back TR, then I'll happily do your advertising for you.

"the global phenomenon that Aion has become"
Yeah right. I'm in no way a WoW fan but get 12 million players and then we'll talk global phenomenon.

It's all spin bs, and bad spin at that. Companies that say such things say them in hopes that they will become true after the declaration. I have always seen this kind of stunt as an indicator of two things.
The first is a really ass-hat of a PR team.
The second is the product is not doing as well as they wanted it to... in other-words they have over reached their means

LOL.....I love nerdy gamers striking bad-ass poses; hello? You play with pixels on a computer screen, running around pretending to be some fairy, lighten up. Its not like you're a Marine and just got stateside after killing 50 enemies, you play an online fantasy roleplaying game, and run around public in a hoodie from the GAP.

The more interesting thing about this is why their too-awesome CM is back in Brighton after being shipped out to Seattle.
