AION 2 Factions: Choose the Same Starting Plan as Friends

Separate faction identity from class mechanics

A faction choice affects the story and the starting identity described by the sources. The official special site introduces the tale of Elyos and Asmodians, while the older wiki names their starting and main regions. That is useful for a group deciding which beginning it wants to experience. A player comparing class roles, however, should not assume the preferred class is restricted to one faction when the companion page explicitly says both can use every class.

The wiki also uses phrases such as holy magic and brutal melee as combat identity. Those thematic descriptions are not a current skill coefficient or a measured advantage. Choosing a faction because of an invented magic or melee bonus would turn lore into a build rule. Likewise, the captured sources do not establish a free faction-change system or every cross-faction party restriction. If playing together is essential, agree on the same service and intended starting plan rather than relying on a later transfer feature.

Agree on the first shared route

1. Choose the service and server plan with the people you intend to play with before treating faction as the only shared setting.
2. Read the character-creation faction labels and compare the story/aesthetic you want to begin with.
3. Keep your class decision separate, using the source report that classes are available to both factions.
4. Use the older starting-zone reports as orientation, then follow the names and route actually shown by your current client.
5. Resolve any required group compatibility before committing characters, without assuming a free later faction change.

Resolve compatibility before committing

The practical result is a clear service, faction and class plan that the group understands before character creation. If the group later explores the opposing continent, that travel mechanic is a different question from the starting faction choice. This page does not promise unrestricted cross-faction grouping or a particular PvP advantage. It combines reported class availability and historical zone orientation while preserving the distinction between fantasy identity and actual mechanics, making it an actionable selection guide rather than another overall lore summary.
