MISSION

The first and foremost is our focus on adult gamers. By adult I essentially mean gamers that understand common-sense etiquette, are not offended by general adult conversation, and are willing to contribute to a community. Our legion type is "casually hardcore" because casual guilds in today's games sit around not doing anything together. We are flexible, but organized as well. Think of it like a family vacation. A lot of careful planning goes into ensuring an enjoyable time. For more information please see the vision.

RULES

Rules are as follows

We do enforce a loose age requirement, generally 18 and over, but we're willing to make exceptions on a per player basis. Our environment is a laid back one, think "Irish pub," but don't be too rowdy or you may find yourself bounced.

Currently there are no plans to initiate an EU division, however, anyone interested in leading such an initiative may contact eidolonnight@aionelysium.com

Although these extremes may classify some players, they do not accurately describe most. Most players enjoy varying amounts of both pvp and pve content. Therefore, Elysium will actively engage all content that is offered by Aion: The Tower of Eternity.

The hardcore vs casual debate is even more convoluted. Each player has a different idea of what the meaning of hardcore or casual is. Most commonly hardcore legions/guilds are those that play frequently and achieve high ranks or progression. Casual legions/guilds play to simply enjoy the game and socialize. As with the pvp vs pve classification, many legions/guilds cater to the extremes of this issue. Hardcore guilds tend to treat the game as a business. Casual guilds tend to treat the game like a chat room. Elysium is somewhere in the middle in what I call the "singles night" model. When someone goes to singles night they generally expect three things:

1. Have fun.
2. Meet interesting people.
3. Get things done.

Despite the blatant innuendo, this model ensures that players get the most out of the game.

It took two days to code the countdown widget. It's not the simple crappy javascript that most countdown widgets use. Most forums don’t allow javascript and many free hosts don’t allow it either. So we set up an uber little hamster with l337 skillz with a direct link to our server. Every night he updates the image to display the days left until the launch of Aion: The Tower of Eternity.*

* Elysium does not employ slave hamster labor. There is, in fact, a cron job and php script that edits the image each night.

Imagine complaining that after getting a long massage you got "a little extra." I don't understand why anyone would complain about getting more than they asked for. These features are here for entertainment, and to make Aion life a bit easier. If you don't like one or more of them then simply don't use them. We here at Elysium don't believe in using our supreme mental powers to force people into clicking our links.

Again, would you complain if you got your paycheck early this week? The truth of the matter is, things such as the countdown timer took 2 days to code and waiting until the last minute would be chaos. Besides, who can say this:

"We do it first. We do it best."

• Legion structure will not be formed until more info is acquired.
• Loot distribution will also not be decided on until more info is attained.
  • update: recent info about abyss points suggests that loot distribution may not be an issue, but if necessary a looting method will be devised for pve content.
