Update 2.7 for Aion has gone live, bringing many additions to the game, including dungeons, changes and additions to PvP, updates to skills, and gear. The major addition is the Crucible Coliseum, a new PvP area where players can choose to fight each other one on one, or in 6-8 man free-for-all battles to the death. In order to enter the Coliseum, players must be at least level 46, and have obtained coliseum tickets through the new quests. The coliseum is only open during certain times, 12am – 2pm and 6pm – 2am Mondays through Fridays, and 10am – 2pm on the weekends.
