God knows how many screens of NCsoft&#8217;s MMO Aion have popped up on AionSource, and it&#8217;s all looking very pretty indeed thank you very much. All of this is taken from the second phase of the closed beta, apparently. The game&#8217;s slated for the end of this year. Thanks to Massively.

Says so here. Apparently they&#8217;re going to cost $10 each, up to a maximum of 26. Quite why you&#8217;d ever need 26 characters in City of Heroes is beyond us, but in MMO-land mentality can b a little odd. No date on when this is happening.
