After quite a wile NCSoft is ready to unveil another trailer! This time it is an Asmodian zone called Beluslan.
Lore
Even by the standards of Asmodae, already a harsh and inhospitable land, Beluslan is particularly icy and forbidding. What life there is clings to existence on the rocky slopes and foothills of Chaos Pass, or is twisted into strange and disturbing forms on the Black Plains and in Giant’s Valley. Kurngalfsberg, once a thriving city, fell under the disapproving gaze of Ereshkigal, one of the Dragon Lords in the world of Aion, and in a fit of ire he encased it in ice. Now it lies deserted by human and Daeva alike; only the beasts of the tundra can live there amidst the bone-chilling winds and the drifts of snow. Kistenian and his fellow Flame Daevas hope to breathe life back into it with the help of the ancient tree people, the Elim. At Anair Harbor, a flash freeze occurred during a terrifying sea storm, capturing the swelling ocean just as the waves were about to crash down around a great ship, which is now forever trapped, like an insect in amber, in the water's icy grip.
Just want to make this public announcement about our Ventrilo Server.

Some questions I have received:
If I am from Europe, can I play on North American servers? Yes you can, as long as you enter a NA key.
Will there be other chance to win a key? There will be more preview weekends and everything depends on NCSoft. If they decide to release another batch of keys for us, then expect to see another competition!
