With several MMOs recently coming out over the past year or so (Spirit Tales, The Secret World, Tera, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and so on), I almost forgot that Aion was still out there. It's one of those games that I wanted to try, but just didn't have the time or money to do so. Anyway, those who still play Aion will be getting some new content in celebration of its third year anniversary. NCsoft will be unveiling new themed missions, events, and challenges starting this week. The content is part of Aion 3.5, the latest update to the game and is slated to come out this October.

· Daeva for Daeva’s Day: Daeva’s Day is the celebration for existing Daevas, but also a day of hope for humans who have not ascended. On this day, many humans leave their normal lives to seek out adventure in hopes of being recognized by Aion and ascending to immortality. New and existing players alike receive special gifts on this day!
· Fast Track Server: Those who are new to Aion: Ascension can now easily catch up to their friends thanks to the Fast Track server which will allow players to level up twice as fast, before making the switch to a regular server to tackle the challenging end game content.
