Focus on. . . the Pigeons Alliance

Les Pigeons on Urtem

Can you describe your alliance for us?

Our alliance is called the Pigeons, and it is open to all Elyos. Following the failure of several Elyos alliances and the resulting Asmodian dominance of Urtem, the Elyos of Urtem decided to band together and assemble a faction-based RvR alliance.

Our main strengths are our players' respect for one another and openness of attitude. Nothing would be possible without these two ingredients. Humanism, friendly relations, and the pleasure of playing are the pillars underpinning the Pigeons. Before we start considering strategy and organization, we think about how everybody can have fun!

The Pigeons represents the whole faction, so we encourage everybody to take part in decision making. Everybody is free to express their opinions in various ways: in the forum, in post-RvR debriefings, or in our weekly meetings. Decisions are based on a majority vote among those present.

This forum post has a detailed breakdown of how we are organised:

Player of the Month – October 2011

Name: Ullona
Server: Vaizel (NA)
Faction: Elyos
Legion: Infusion
Class: Sorcerer
Level: 55

When did you start playing Aion?
I've always been a bit of a graphics nerd, so when someone told me about Aion back when it was still in beta in Korea, I went straight to YouTube and saw a lot of the conceptual videos. The graphics had me hooked, so I continued to watch as the game progressed in development.

Atreian Stock Market Report – October 2011

Greetings, Daevas!

This is Luichinchinnerk from the Black Cloud News Network with your October analysis of Atreia's stock market.

Prices for the most commonly traded commodities are still down, as the influx from the Double Drop Rate event continues to work its way through the market.

The first items we will look at today are Gold and Silver medals. Generally, the prices of these medals remain stable due to their nature; however, this month has seen a slight dip in value. This shugo feels that although the prices for medals are lower than normal, this is not an indication to invest heavily in medals, as the potential for profits is at best marginal.

In good news for crafters and morphers, the price of Magical Aether has dropped significantly over the past month. Despite its lower than normal price, Aether remains a valuable commodity that will continue to sell briskly.

Finally, this is the time to buy end game scrolls such as Greater Running scrolls. Because of the number of scolls brought by the Pumpkin King, scroll prices have plummeted to record lows. Take advantage of these great prices while they last!

As always, Luichinchinnerk reminds you that Daevas who
play the stock market take a risk. This bear market might
seem like the perfect time to buy, but a Daeva
could still end up with NYERK! Akakakakakak!


First Sematariux Kill in the West!

We interviewed Mortred, who lead the first victory against Sematariux, read below to find out more about the battle!

Which legions were involved? How many people total?

Many Legions were involved in this raid. We were more concerned about earning the first North American Sematariux kill than we were about forming an elitist group of only certain Legions. As long as people had a certain gear requirement, could understand English on Ventrilo, and were competent players, they were allowed to sign up for the raid, if their class wasn't full.
