If you are reading this post – you are doing it wrong! You should be in-game leveling your little hearts out. I personally brought along my bad ass lvl 36 gladiator wife to Eracus Temple and got two blues, several greens and loads of kinah and a level within a couple of hours. The leveling feels almost too fast. Maybe permanent 3/4 increase of XP? I bet the guys at NCSoft can calculate what would be ideal XP curve to see all the content and not skip any areas.

In any case, since you are reading this article you may as well go over to the official site and read the Eye on community article featuring some Aion related artwork. I just wanted to add to this by linking the image below. Enjoy your Double XP weekend!

Nicki Faulk of the Aion Fanlisting fame used some great programming skills to help the Aion community. Presenting a unique plug-in for those of you using Firefox to browse the internet – Aionfox. After installing this plug-in you’ll get a new menu in your browser with shortcuts to all things Aion related. The plugin is localized for NA (US), UK, DE, and FR NCsoft sites and works with Firefox 1.0-3.5.* . It is still in the experimental phase, but I’ve been testing it for weeks now without a problem so I can recommend it to everyone. You can find and install the plugin at the official Firefox add-ons page:

You might also want to checkout her iGoogle widget that shows the current Aion server status on your iGoogle page (or any website for that matter). The widget and JavaScript code can be found at :

On a related note, a new iPhone app for Aion was released yesterday: “Aion U” by Lovellasoft. It’s a simple character lookup app, but hopefully it will evolve with more features. (News tip by Nicki Faulk as well – what can I say – she’s a champ!).
