aika online will open closed beta 2 tommorow and you can still get key for play the game for free ( not in sc2 beta ? come try this game for waste some time hehe )
Designed to re-imagine the "massively" in MMORPG, Aika presents three major PvP modes which run from small skirmishes to 1000 vs. 1000 warfare. This comprehensive PvP system is unique among current MMORPGs for its gigantic scope, and it is this element - along with a fantastically detailed world and sweeping storyline - which has earned the game many enthusiastic reviews for its quality of play. Aika won the Best of Show: Prime Minister Award, Player's Choice: Best Online Game, and Best Game Design & Scenario at the 2009 Korean Game Awards, organized by the Korea Game Industry Agency (KoGIA) under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
With over 1,000 quests, hundreds of monsters, and 15 gorgeously rendered areas, Aika holds its own as a thrilling single-player experience. However, it is the depth of the PvP system that sets this game apart. The world of Aika features five nations - each possessing its own distinct personality and populated by thousands - which, along with a comprehensive guild system, lays the groundwork for truly epic military clashes. Guilds and nations may ally with each other in exciting Castle Sieges to gain control of a nation and lord over its subjects, while entire nations may scheme with and against each other to win wars with glory, treasure, and powerful ability enhancements at stake. Aika's launch in North America marks its premiere into the Western hemisphere. It is currently being published in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Gala-Net is pleased to bring Aika to its millions of gPotato users. Aika is being developed by JoyImpact, a development studio owned by HanbitSoft, one of the largest online game publishers in Asia. Aika is expected to launch in Spring 2010.
honestly the game graphic and animation look like AION
Aion was nothing more than a dumb grindfest like every other mmo, guessing this is the same, they always have some gimmick to make it sound cool but its only really enjoyable once you cap which means you need to grind countless hours on the same generic mobs
anyone has any problem when starting the AikaOnlineDownloader from the gpotato website? It tells me no internet connectivity detected, please try again -.-
We should make a Teamliquid guild, the first guild I was in nobody even cared about the guild and when the leader asked them to do something nobody really responded and he threatened to boot, etc.
Also don't try maraudar cabin without a cleric, I burned through like 50 intermediate health potions tanking that today lol...

Time to screw around with the other classes -_-
Im almost certain your account wouldnt be wiped until OBT. If there is one, this is probably just for stress and major bug testing. Keep grinding till they announce OBT(In my experience, they usually dont wipe OBT accounts), then most likely your CBT character will be gone forever.
So it's just another anime style mmo with hack n slash pvp, a dull job system, generic classes and graphics that look like they were made with the same engine all the others were?
Huzzah!
At Last.
P.S. If it turns out to be fun, I recant everything I said.
Just tried Paladin, deals really low damage at the start but has a stun. I got to level 7 / muntano in 32 minutes, but I had some missteps and stuff (I think maybe 26-30 min if I went faster). Edit: Also made the mistake of not getting level 2 shield bash when I first went to town, that probably slowed it.
Roarr let's dominate in the open beta ! ~!~ TEAMLIQUID FIGHTING
Cool. I'll make a list of a the players; post your character name when OB comes out BTW, what nation do you guys want to be? Preferably all TL should be on one nation so we can do relic raids etc.
http://aika-forum.gpotato.com/ Also a forum for questions, quest guides, and character guides. etc. If we get enough members, TL can conquer a nation and charge everyone in it tax
Would like to join once it goes into OB Would be nice since we're already such a solid community outside of the game, could easily help each out. Not to mention we have a vent channel, I think?
AWESOME! I'll be playing a Cleric by the name Taalina again. I'm hoping we can get a party going once it opens so we can cruise through the noobzones as fast as possible!
Lets all decide on a nation so we dont spread out to different ones aswell :o
okay my english not perfect but plz try to read if you want to understand why this game fun .
yes the graphic are not aion or other good p2p game , but this game free to play .
i will be honest when i have enter the game the first time , walked a litle did one quest and closed the game right after 10 min . in my mind that was only one other korean mmorpg where you just grind but the next day i have try to play again and actualy level up to lvl 10 and omg this game was amazing and fun , but why ?
one thing that make this game fun are the fact crafted item are the best in the game and anyone can make them , mobs drop the mineral and skin you need so everyone can craft or trade for them .
after you find the pran ( litle flying pet at lvl 1 ) she level up when you fight and give you extra skill and abillity + she talk to you and what you say can change the pran personnality , if she become mean she will say when you fight : you suck , you can do better , and when you cast spell if she dont like you for the question she asked she can refuse to cast the spell you want. at lvl 5 she evolve and become a litle girl , at lvl 20 she become a teen , i dont know for after , each time she level you get new skill and abillity .
and you find the upgrade system +1 up to +11 upgrade for any item in the game and the enchantments where you use one stone in a slot machine , if you got 3 of the same you win alot more that if you get only 2 of 3 , you need to be lucky for get the best enchantment . (and of course the better the enchant stone the better stats you can get )
you can also lower down equipment lvl requirement for equip them faster for some cash
you find the usual instance for party but here they added something , the mode . you can play them at normal , hard , terror or nightmare and the mobs inside are not the same and can drop better stuft and of course that REALY more hard , so you need realy good party for mode after hard + the instance change so much ( new boss , new mobs ) that you dont feal like doing the same instance again .
and you can find many instance in the game of course.
you also find the castle siege mode , where guild can fight to become the lord of the nation . they got control over the tax , you can set the tax to 5 % or 20 % anything you like lol , and of course the guild got the money for that . the lord of the nation can after create squad for protect themselft and play in the relic war .
relic war are powerfull artefact that every nation want , for exemple one lower relic give +2 % exp gain for all the player in the nation ( so they level up faster ) you can find relic for attack , magic ect . the more relic the nation got the more powerfull the nation become .
just like in wow you can find channel for get group for where you want to go , you click the group and you are in if you meet the requirement set by the leader of the group .
and the community are realy helpfull , you ask them question and many people reply to you fast . hell i have got 34 mineral free for upgrade and someone event gived me 5000 gold when i was asking for money because i was broke .
-reset stats for basically free anytime u want, so when you finish PvE, hop right into PvP. -not grindy. quests give most exp. -PvP Is kickass. -TL can rule all. although they are putting in some Cool PvE stuff, this is mostly a PvP game.
Like to bump for the open beta starting 11AM pacific and 1PM central, tomorrow~ (march 16) Really fun and addictive game, u quest for a few days, max out levels and then go rape face in PvP
im sure eve started off with a modest number and added on. for myself im mostly playing aika, because I've always had a thing for starting mmorpgs the day they come out, aka diablo 2 . mabinogi , etc. long times ago. Never stuck with any so far though. this post was designed as a shameless bump
Oh and for everyone wondering what server play on Ostyrion
So for the past three+ hours our nation was raided by Feonir in two waves. The first wave we lost our 10% exp relic, then squashed them and camped until they warped out. Nearly 20 minutes later they all came back with at least 50 people, getting the relic half way before being stopped by our guild's lucky AoE spell.
Holding off reinforcements...
Amazing game at the moment. Hard to believe all of this is happening on just the second day of open beta... Come join us @ Ostyrion!
Vacation is soon to come and midterms are over. And Akia doesnt work for me, the installer/downloader refuses to load. Do I have to open ports and create zone rules again? -___-

I'm at lvl 17 osteyrion and kawaiirice, i can't seem to add you thru that add friend thingy, it seems like you can only add when you right click a certain character, and i havent figured out how to use chats lol
1,000 vs 1,000 PvP in theory sounds awesome... but is it really possible right now? XD I'm sure more than a few computers will crash... and can the servers handle that? I'd be willing to give it a go though... looks kinda WoW-like
You have to be on the same server as the person you want to add (PvP / PvE make a difference). I'm usually on PvP (monsters have lower hp there) but there you have to be careful or else you get PK'd by enemy nation raid parties (happening a lot lately since nations have allied and taken all our relics).
@wfoperational, we're on Ostyrion. There is no TL guild, we're just inviting everyone into the guild me/Ezpz are in (HeroesOfChaos). ATM the guild is full, we need to raise it a level to get more slots. I'll get on that once I hit the level cap (47 @ 50% atm, cap is 50).
Also, there are mounts at level 40. You can buy it for 2 mil or do a quest that takes way longer and ends up costing you about 500k. Once you choose you can't go back... -.-
Edit: Also, careful of the NEETs guild. They literally walk around just to PK our own nation members. Our nation is probably the most pathetic one in the game at the moment as the smallest population, 0 relics and self pkers during raids, defense and outside of them.

D: why is our nation so bad T_T
Kind of took a break from playing, eating too much time...
1) Our nation is underpopulated. 2) A guild, NEETs, literally pk's us during raids, raid defense and randomly. 3a) GM's screwed up in the first week. They announced that Castle Siege wouldn't happen even though the game system went ahead with it. Winning guild/guild alliances will have the leader become Lord Martial. As a result, that person receives an extra 100% hp/mp and his entire guild 20%. The allied guild members all receive 12% hp/mp bonus. 3b) Three nations knew about this somehow and signed up their guilds to do Castle Siege. Two of them allied up and rushed all of us that had no Lord Martial, taking our relics and stomping us since we had no Lord Martial buffs (before they had LM buffs we were shutting them out every time they tried raiding). 3c) Maximum alliances of 2, and with a count of 5, AND premade alliances between four of the nations, Ostyrion is shut out of any chances to be a notable nation. The other nations literally run around our nation killing people at will whenever they want, and with their massive relic count (passive buffs) and overhauled levels they smash us easily. (Possible change, guild leader is talking to Feonir* right now) 4) A horribly split nation. Right now it's Rule34/HeroesOfChaos/Ruin/SignusVires (us) vs Hostile/NEETs vs DreamZ (a group trying to unite all Phillipinoes in Ostyrion. They initially promised to ally us, but backed out recently).

I'm probably missing more but whatever.
This kind of sucks... can't the GMs do anything about it? It certainly doesn't benefit the game if one nation is at such a disadvantage like this... I don't see how they would help though...

Joined the game but only level 9. How do you level in this game? I find that its very grindy, there's little to no community outside the dungeons that you need to finish for quests, and there's only quests that give very little experience. Saw on MMOHUT the exp rating for this game is low so maybe it is hard to level or is there better way? Also, anyone else annoyed with the gender locks? lol Btw i'm a paladin ... i heard they're good but dual gunners are OP or something haha.

Do the quests and you level up really really fast Its really not grindy at all
O_O really? It took me the longest time to level up to level 9 and i have like no quests... Am i doing something wrong hahah.... Btw i did that chain of quests by the mill. That's the one your supposed to do right? >_>; Hitting level 30 in one day? What are your secrets lol I really want this mmo to work. Any tips/links to power leveling guides you can give me? Thx in advance :D.

Go to town and on way, talk to a guard, then go talk to Otto something, and you will get *assigned * to Company 09, then talk to Cromwell, and do quests from there on out. Should level in no time

Hit M to check your map. Green exclamation marks mark NPC's that give you quests. I literally timed myself getting lvl 8 in about 30 minutes with pally
O man... i tried to run Aika and another MMORPG in which I can just auto-bot in, together... and Aika eats up so much RAM, it's not even funny, my other MMORPG froze instantly =_=
But It's fun so far, I'm trying to figure out how the Pran system works lol. BTW anyone online right now? I' getting lonely just smacking monsters around by myself lol. And how do you shout... I think it's # but it doesn't seem to work... or are people just ignoring me lol.

Thanks for contributing to the thread! Very worthwhile post.
Im having troubles with crashes on start-up of the game, anyone else had any issues? I'll try running in compatibility mode or something, may need to reinstall ;_;

Uh try running it as administrator if you have Vista? I remember Aika gets error if I don't do that
If not try reinstalling
And I assume you got that patch you were suppose to install from CBT?

That game is so bad....
soooooooooooooooooo bad, I'd rather play maplestory than ragnarok
That said, it took me maybe 3-4 hours to get to lvl 11 dual gunner... killing stuff is really annoying before you get stealth and the quests don't seem to give that much exp.
Still trouble leveling. Took me 30 mins to get from 9-10 lol. I have like no quests i checked the field and town. Only quests i have are for party dungeons and like no one is ever near the dungeons to ask for parties for. I had to level off monsters which took a long time, esp with like 0.4 exp each kill >_>

For the first party dungeon, the best way to get a party is to go pve and shout I don't see how everyone is having trouble leveling, this is the first game I've tolerated building a cleric simply because leveling is so easy
The game eats so much memory T_T Even with 6gb of ram it still freezes my other games....... also is cleric really in short supply right now? If so I'll go make one lol~

Its fine until you go to Amarkand, usually
and the monsters have less hp on PvP server so its easier to do quests and whatnot Plus there really isn't too much punishment for dying in this game, other than losing durability and being transported to wherever you saved
EPT
