Aion: Blurring the Gender Boundaries

Plenty of games on the market are geared towards females, but it’s no secret that not every female wants to play Cake Mania and Imagine: Fashion Designer. Women who aren’t just into fashion, makeup, and cooking are left with few games that speak to them personally. Until recently, women and gaming have hardly been mentioned [...]

Following a bit of routine maintenance on Aion’s Azphel server, a few players noticied that their characters had some extra money, or kinah as it is know in Aion.  To the sum of 30 trillion kinah!

Aion On Sale As Part Of GoGamer.com’s Heatwave Madness!
