My daughter first started playing Aion back in the Closed Beta days after watching my husband and I play. Even after my husband dropped Aion to go on to other games, she kept playing. It’s been great because it’s something that she and I shared in common and she knew she could always “talk Aion” to divert my attention or lighten my mood at any time, hehe. She stopped playing last summer because her best friend started playing another MMO so naturally Daughter wanted to go join her there instead of playing Aion. So after about 9 months away, she’s now decided she wants to play Aion again.

My husband and I always had a steadfast rule that whatever she played, she had to have good grades. Luckily for her, her half-9 weeks report came in last week and everything looked good. So this weekend I reactivated her Aion account and she then asked me if she could “re-roll like you did.”

I of course celebrated the idea and she created a new Asmodian toon on Zikel. She was so excited, all she talked about all weekend was playing her “new Ranger.” I spent a good part of last night mentoring her and helping her along the Ishlagen quests.

In preparation, I’d made a bunch of pots, foods, scrolls, and other necessities that I knew she would need. After all, I’m a proud momma and can afford to spoil my new little recruit! :D

Of course my husband was tickled by all this and points out to Daughter, “Well you know she can craft every craft now, right?” to which daughter squeals with glee and proceeds to whisper me in-game with a list of “I want’s.” LOL! Little did she know that I had already crafted her level 13 leather set, some level 16 upgrades, and a new set of level 15 swords. I’ve already started gathering materials to start on her level 18 leather set as she’s leveling quickly, and will look through my Handicrafter’s recipes to look for a decent bow to make after she’s 25+ … she’ll need something with some attack speed. ^_^
