About & Editorial Policy
This site publishes short, decision-first guides for freshly launched online games. It exists for one reason: most launch-week guides are 3,000 words that never answer the question you actually typed into search.
Every page has to answer its headline within the first screen, and has to state which decision is irreversible.
1. What we cover
Currently: AION 2, which opened globally on October 5, 2026. Coverage focuses on the choices new players get wrong — class, faction, server, and what the paid membership actually unlocks.
2. How we source information
- Official first — patch notes, launch notices, membership terms and support FAQs from the publisher take priority over everything else.
- Player data second — concurrent player counts and review percentages are read from public trackers and store pages, with the date of the reading stated on the page.
- Hands-on third — where a claim can be tested in-game, it is.
We do not copy other guides. Where a number can be verified, we cite the snapshot date so you can judge whether it is still true.
3. Corrections
Live-service games change weekly. If something here is outdated or wrong, email hello@azgameguides.com with the page and the correction — verified fixes are published with an updated timestamp, not silently edited.
4. Independence
We are not affiliated with NCSOFT, Steam, or any game publisher. Nothing on this site is sponsored content. Recommendations are written without knowledge of any commercial arrangement, and affiliate links (where present) never affect a verdict. See the affiliate disclosure.
5. About the game
