IGN: Can you go into depth on the four main archetypes and eight classes in Aion? What happens at level 10, and how will manipulating your classes until the level 10 decision affect your archetype?
Lani Blazier: There are eight different classes in Aion players can choose from, but players will begin by picking one of the 4 main class archetypes. We feel this is important because we want players to be comfortable with how their man selected class plays, and to become familiar with the game mechanics before making an important decision such as a class specialization. The 4 main class archetypes are Warrior, Scout, Mage and Priest. Once players learn the ropes of Aion and their selected class, at level ten, they will be able to select from one of the class specializations and really get to focus and learn their chosen profession. The sub class selections are: Warrior--Gladiator or Templar; Scout--Assassin or Ranger; Mage--Sorcerer or Elementalist; Priest--Cleric or Chanter. Each of the 8 sub classes share certain root skills within their sub class, but also have access to unique skills and choices of specific Stigma skills that make their character unique when compared to others.

IGN: Can you talk a bit about how PvPvE works? Considering the new PvPvE setup that you have, will the AI within the servers be able to assess a guild or a party's strength within the game and specifically change to address these characters? For example, will stronger creatures show up within an area or larger forces to confront players?
Lani Blazier: PvPvE describes the combat action that players will face when they enter the Abyss zone. The Abyss is the single point of the conflict between the Elyos, Asmodian and Balaur. Here the two player factions meet and battle one another for fortresses and control over the Abyss' many areas (hence the PVP). The Balaur are the NPC race controlled by an advanced AI. Depending on several factors, the Balaur could choose to side with your faction, side with your enemy, or fight against all who oppose them. While party size and strength won't necessarily trigger a stronger creature, there are several factors that are taken into account to determine the allegiance.
IGN: It's been stated that there will be more than 1500 PvE quests--will there be any PvP quests set up to battle against the player factions? Along with this, will there be territory in the Abyss that the Elyos or Asmodians can completely control thanks to the success of players in battle, or is it a giant arena?
Lani Blazier: To answer your first questions, there are quests on each side that will send players to the opposing faction's land through portals. While these don't require direct combat, they do send you into the thick of the enemy's home. In regards to the Abyss, each faction (Elyos and Asmodian) have a fortress that can't be taken over by opposing factions. These are safe areas, but anything outside these fortresses are fair game. If you take over one of the controllable fortresses, they are still prone to attack by other races, so it's always a good idea to bring a friend to watch your back when you travel to the Abyss.
IGN: We've asked about crafting once before, but we weren't able to get any details on the process. Can we now find out details about crafting?
Lani Blazier: There are 6 crafting professions; Cooking, weaponsmithing, armorsmithing, tailoring, alchemy and handicraft. Players can learn all of the professions, but can only become an "Expert" in one profession. As a player crafts an item within one of the professions, their expertise points for that particular profession rises and they can level up their profession. To be able to craft you first need to learn the profession, and then you'll need to obtain recipes. hese can be found either from looting creatures or from purchasing off of NPCs. Once a recipe is obtained, players will need to gather resources needed to create the item. Resources are all around in the world of Atreia, but some are more rare to come by than others. When the recopied and resources are all gathered, players can create the item at one of the profession-specific crafting stations.

Get ready for gigantic battles between angels and demons.
IGN: Can you talk about Legions a bit? If you join a Legion, will you gain or earn rivals on the other side thanks to the battles that you'll be fighting? Will there be specific tasks that only Legions will be able to take on within the game quest wise? How will the reputation of the Legion affect the world around them?
Lani Blazier: Legions in Aion are very open-ended and allow for the players to take control. Legions will earn rivals by their reputation in game, and obviously an Elyos legion and Asmodian legion will always be pitted against one another. There are many benefits to being in a Legion, and those benefits will increase as the size and level of your legion increase. Unique items, skills and privileges are awarded to the legions who advance. A legion's reputation is defined by their members and leadership. Players can determine how others see their legion by their actions; ruthless or helpful, leaders in the Abyss or PvE, their fate is determined by the players.
IGN: Thank you for your time.
