Our colleagues from massively.com has talked to Sean Neil, general producer of mmorpg Aion - a meeting he had come in a huge T-shirt (which flaunted the slogan of his team!) - He told us some interesting details about the furry, scaly, and .. . of "holding the drum »?!... We enjoyed the association with this, truly a man of genius, and glad that we can share with you the details of the coming updates!

Pets are often a pleasant addition to the games, in fact, they can not serve to achieve any goals, and have only a superficial relevance to gameplay. Nevertheless, under the usual definition of this can not possibly get new animals from Aion. As we explained Sean Neil: "We have not considered pets just as trophies ... for us they also are an integral part of gameplay." Pets will have different functions, which will change in addiction to the class master, okruzhayushey environment, which will be a pet, the level of development of his skills and many other aspects.

What will your pet?

A unique feature of animals Aion will be the possibility of their practical use. While NCsoft reported that the animal system as a whole will evolve over time, in the early stages we can enjoy several kinds of animals: the satellite detectors, packer, bringing good luck, and a thoroughbred.

Satellites - are domesticated animals, which are offered in many other games - they just follow you until you are traveling.

Signaling - as you probably guessed from the title, the type of animals will allow you to leave a certain mark. Sean has described to us would look like a warning signal: "Animals - signalchiki create animations and produce sounds, run, to alert you when a player, the enemy is near you. They feel, even those who do not appear on the screen." If you're going to go into enemy territory, and do not want to be unpleasantly surprised by the attack of saylansa (invisibility), the animal-detector, that is exactly what you need! As an added bonus, this species can not be destroyed by enemies, so do not worry, your pet will be protected even against a surprise attack!

Packers - a type of animal, which will increase space for inventory. Well, admit it, who has not dreamed of a mule, on which we could throw the bag with another overflowing inventory? Nevertheless, for those who still dream of creating a personal army of these precious mules and panda, and through them to increase their "warehouses" to astronomical proportions, there is bad news - only one representative species may be active. You can own the panda and a donkey, but to monitor simultaneously several pandas will not work.
