What have been your most rewarding moments in Aika Online’s development? There have been high points and low points, but ultimately we’ve been very happy to have the chance to work on such an amazing game. Rest assured that we have not been slacking off in our quest to make Aika the best game it can be. The Aika team at Gala-Net has been working around the clock for the past few months with HanbitSoft and JoyImpact to create the best experience possible for those who have been looking forward to the English version of Aika. It’s been an intense process, and also a very rewarding one. How has internal beta testing gone so far? Many gPotato users have already received beta keys through email, but if people out there want to try Aika in its CB premiere and didn’t get a chance to sign up, fear not! We’ll have many third-party beta key giveaways in the days to come, so keep checking your favorite gaming sites and for updates. How does a player get involved in being chosen for the CBT? Aika is a game which has the depth of play to inspire this level of strategic consideration.Īika Online is currently ready for closed beta testing. So, would it be better for a nation to store its most valuable relics in this particular Temple, knowing that to do so would mean concentrating its defense at one point at the expense of protecting other relics at other Temples? Or should the nation spread its relics out more evenly among the Temples, forcing would-be attackers to divide their military might? These are questions which the Lord Marshal and his or her cohorts must decide in the course of making decisions which affect the entire nation they rule over. The other temples are not as biased towards defense, which means the Algon Temple would be a natural choice for storing especially precious, powerful relics. You’ll notice that the entrance to the Temple is split into two smaller pathways, which mean that attackers will be funneled into narrow streams when they approach. The Algon Temple is situated in a clearing with small hills surrounding it on three sides, which make it very easy to defend. They are meant to be open to the air and integrated into the terrain of the surrounding area so that they prove challenging to guard and attack.

Temples are large, mystical structures which are the specific storage and protection locations for national relics. Hessian area, partly because of its significance for the Relic War PvP mode and partly because it’s a very interesting area from a strategic perspective. I’d like to highlight the Algon Temple in the Mt. What is your favorite in-game area or PvP battleground? Describe it to us and include a screenshot please. There are challenges in this game which can prove compelling for any player regardless of his or her desired level of involvement. I imagine that many players would find the higher level dungeons and raiding content very gratifying to explore, and, believe me, becoming the Lord Marshal of a nation is not an accomplishment that comes overnight. For the player who wants a more all-inclusive experience, there’s a tremendous amount of content to discover. It’s easy to choose to focus on the single player experience or find other casual players to form a party or a pickup team for Battlegrounds. For the casual player, there’s the deep storyline, gorgeous graphics, the variety of classes, fun interaction with the Pran, rich crafting system, the different areas of Lakia with hundreds of unique monsters, and the community-based nature of the game. Although many features of the game would certainly be rewarding for the casual player, overall I’d consider Aika more of a hardcore player’s MMORPG, just for the incredible range of possibilities inherent in the game.
