Aika is a truly monumental game from Gala-Net, publishers of Flyff and Rappelz, and JoyImpact, developer of Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent (published by Atlus Online in the US). Designed to re-imagine the "massively" in MMORPG, Aika presents three major PvP modes which run the gamut from small skirmishes to 1000 vs. 1000 warfare. This comprehensive PvP system is unique among current MMORPGs for its gigantic scope, and it is this element — along with a fantastically detailed world and sweeping storyline — which has earned the game many enthusiastic reviews for its quality of play. Aika won the Best of Show: Prime Minister Award, Player's Choice: Best Online Game, and Best Game Design & Scenario at the 2009 Korean Game Awards, organized by the Korea Game Industry Agency (KoGIA) under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.

Also only Americans and Canadians can play it unless you have an old gpotato account - flyff or something (because I'm Australian and I haven't been banned yet). If you can't play this version then there is a non american version but you'll have to find that for yourself

Possibly people were complaining about too much lag from not being located in america.

Looks like its just another generic MMO.

The Leader idea has been done before, such as in Overlord. It's interesting to have 5 leaders, but not so interesting so that it would make it more fun than any of the other GMMO's.

Castle Siege
Quote
Castle Siege is a PvP (player versus player) feature unique to Aika where the guilds and guild alliances within a nation compete in a bloody campaign to secure the Lakian Fortress — the ultimate national seat of power. Every week, all five nations will each be host to a potential military revolution, where the Lord Marshal and his ruling regime must defend the Fortress against an onslaught of would-be usurper guilds and guild alliances. As the Fortress is very heavily fortified and the incumbent administration is given large status and damage bonuses, it is no simple task for the invaders to achieve victory within the designated time limit.
Altar Capture
Quote
Every nation possesses a mysterious stone altar protected by stoic guards in the region of Verband, but these sacred stone structures may seem reluctant to disclose their secrets. There are also locations in Verband where four guards stand in a diamond surrounding an empty patch of land. What is the purpose of all of this protection, and what treasure might lie in store within the Altars of Aika?
The Altar of Aika is a horde of treasure and precious ores, maintained and donated to by each nation's citizens and government. As each Altar contains approximately 10% of the national treasury given as tithes as well as rare items needed to upgrade relics, they are easy targets for armies seeking riches and glory for their nations. When relics are upgraded they are able to give a larger boost to the possessor nation's citizens, and so nations who can protect and utilize the resources stored in their Altars can acquire great advantages in strength.
Relic War
Quote
Relic War is a PvP mode which pits nations against one another in ceaseless competition for control of powerful items called relics. Relics are sacred objects which bestow powerful blessings upon the citizens of the nations which possess them — these blessings typically include a percentage boost to a certain character statistic such as physical defense or HP. Nations may possess multiple relics, in which case the relics' effects add together, making it advantageous for a nation to control as many relics as possible. The effects of relics are location-bound, meaning that they only affect citizens of the nation (or citizens of an allied nation) when those citizens are in the nation geographically.



I can't even launch Tales Runner.
