Daily contests will also be held through the forums and main site, for the busier Daevas out there.
NCsoft has also announced the release ofAion‘s 2.7 update for North America and Europe. The update will hit the Player Test Server on October 13 and the Live Server on October 19. This update will focus mostly on PVP combat, with the addition of 2 new arenas: the “Arena of Discipline” and the “Arena of Chaos.” The former will be for two players to test each other’s skills in a duel to the death, while the latter will be for large free-for-all melees. The 2.7 update will also include a 48-player boss battle in the Padmarashka’s Cave, with new armor and weapon sets as the prize.
