AION 2
Wiki
AION 2 is NC's open-world MMORPG where the world is 36 times bigger than the original and flight is not travel - it is how you fight. Pick Elyos or Asmodian, become a Daeva, and take the faction war into the Abyss. This wiki checks every claim against official pages and marks what is still only a creator report.
