Gameforge :
In an upcoming grassroots tournament, Gameforge’s free-to-play fantasy MMORPG AION Classic EU will embrace its strategic and complex PvP gameplay and give some of the community’s most talented and competitive players an opportunity to be rewarded for their skills.
The tournament, taking place on October 19, will highlight the dynamic and fast-paced RPG combat that AION Classic EU is renowned for. Offering no restrictions on either gear or consumables and taking place in Apheta Beluslan, a twisted and sinister location introduced with the recent Conquest update, the stage is well-prepared for players to showcase their knowledge of the game and its maps.
To participate, AION Classic EU players who play on EU servers will form teams of three that must include level 58 players of three different character classes.
Players are competing for more than just bragging rights, though, as cold, hard, Classic loot is available for victors. Anyone who places 64th or higher will be rewarded. Rewards, which vary depending on placement, include consumable bundles, in-game pets, real-life plushies, costumes, Major Ancient Crowns, coupons, roles in the AION Classic EU Discord, and more.
There are even rewards for fans who aren’t participating, such is the excitement around the tournament! The finals will be streamed live by Gameforge via the AION Classic EU YouTube and Twitch channels, with shoutcasters to boot. Those who tune in can secure some spectacular gifts of their own (restricted to players on EU servers only)... but you’ll have to tune in to find out exactly what!
Any player who wants to dive into AION Classic EU’s PvP for themselves—or if tournament participants want to get some training reps in—there are plenty of ways to do that before the big show begins:
Abyss Warfare & Fortress Siege: Head to the major PvPvE zone, The Abyss, to face off against the opposing faction (Elyos or Asmodian), capture key locations in Fortress Sieges, and defend against the monstrous NPC faction, the Balaur, which can occasionally enter the fray and turn this into a three-way battle.
Base Warfare: Players can engage in PvP battles to conquer the bases around Apheta Beluslan from the opposing faction or Balaur to unlock content like quests or special NPCs.
Rifts: Invade the opposing faction’s PvE zones through temporary portals known as Rifts. This encourages surprise attacks, ambushes, and guerilla warfare. Rifting adds a layer of tension to PvE zones, as players must always be on their guard for potential invaders.
Dredgion: The Dredgion is a PvPvE instance where players from both factions race to complete objectives while simultaneously fighting each other. It’s a fast-paced, tactical battleground where coordination and quick decision-making are key.
Arena PvP: There are various arena-based PvP modes, such as the Arena of Discipline and the Arena of Chaos, where players can engage in smaller-scale battles to test their individual skills or participate in free-for-all combat.
