Aion MMO

The official magazine is a new magazine dedicated to the game.

It’s been under wraps for months, but we’re now really excited to be able to reveal Aion: The Official Magazine. This is unlike anything that’s been produced before. For a start, it’s a regular magazine, published every 4 weeks. Secondly, it’s subscription based. The GamerZines are advertising supported, but this magazine is like a regular print magazine in that it’s a subscription model. Unlike GamerZines, the Aion magazine will be published via a secure account for each subscriber and will be readable online, rather than as a download.

What makes it even better is that each issue will come with a unique in-game item for every reader, and there’s a selection of subscription offers that include packs of extra in-game items, as well as substantial savings off the full price. All the information, and pre-orders, are now available from http://www.aionmagazine.com/
