NCSoft, the South Korean video game developer and publisher behind Aion: The Tower of Eternity, was founded.
NCSoft released the MMORPG Aion: The Tower of Eternity in South Korea, marking the start of the game’s availability to the public.
The game was launched in North America and Europe, expanding its player base significantly outside South Korea.
The Assault on Balaurea expansion was released, adding new regions, features, and gameplay content to Aion.
NCSoft announced Aion 2, the sequel to the original game, generating excitement among the fanbase though it was later cancelled.
The world of Atreia is created from the fragments of the original world marked by the Tower of Eternity.
The two main factions, Elyos and Asmodians, emerge and settle on opposite sides of Atreia, divided by the Abyss Rift.
The Abyss Rift, a portal connecting the two continents, appears, allowing for conflicts and interactions between Elyos and Asmodians.
The Balaur, a race of corrupted dragons, arise as antagonists threatening both Elyos and Asmodians.
An intense war breaks out between Elyos and Asmodians influenced by the Balaur, causing widespread devastation across Atreia.
A combined effort by both Elyos and Asmodians leads to the sealing of the Tower of Eternity to curb the Balaur's influence.
