Info// (Copy pasta)
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.
With over 1,000 quests, hundreds of monsters, and 15 gorgeously rendered areas, Aika holds its own as a thrilling single-player experience. However, it is the depth of the PvP system that sets this game apart. The world of Aika features five nations - each possessing its own distinct personality and populated by thousands - which, along with a comprehensive guild system, lays the groundwork for truly epic military clashes. Guilds and nations may ally with each other in exciting Castle Sieges to gain control of a nation and lord over its subjects, while entire nations may scheme with and against each other to win wars with glory, treasure, and powerful ability enhancements at stake.
Aika's launch in North America marks its premiere into the Western hemisphere. It is currently being published in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Gala-Net is pleased to bring Aika to its millions of gPotato users. Aika is being developed by JoyImpact, a development studio owned by HanbitSoft, one of the largest online game publishers in Asia. Aika is expected to launch in Spring 2010.

The Pran System //(one of the cooler things about aika)
So how does it work? And how do you get one? It's not a very hard process, and it's desirable to get.
Free buffs, access to more quests, what's not to like?
First off, each account can only have 2 prans. If you have a 3rd character, that character cannot make a pran.
To get a pran, you first get a quest somewhere around levels 8-10 from the Pran lady in town.
Then, she'll send you off on a quest to collect some items to prove your a hero or something. The quest time limit is an hour, and you have to kill:
After getting the items from these guys (it's not an absolute drop, so you need to farm around a little), you get the next quest, collecting crystals for the creation of your Pran. Each Pran needs their own type of crystals, but the requirements go like:
x5 of the Pran's element
x2 of the other elements
So, if you wanted to make a fire pran, you'd need 5 fire stones, 2 wind stones, and 2 water stones.
Pran Types
----------------
Fire - Damage Buffs
Water - Defense
Wind - HP and MP recovery, evasion as well
Age
-----------------
Your Pran grows up, along side with you. Yes, as you get EXP on your grind, she gets EXP as well. Of course, she doesn't steal EXP from you, she gets her own.

(Dancing Daughter when you feed it)
According to the food you feed it, their personality will change.
Their food includes:
- Apple

////Intimacy\\\\
Daughter would be more obedient to the player when their intimacy is high.
The easiest way to interact with your Daughter is by Talking.
Your Daughter will talk to you from time to time including asking question, joking and getting jealous (Lol).
You'll be given different selection when they talk to you. Your Daughter would develop it's type & affect intimacy according to your response.
Affects on intimacy:
- It will assist you in battle more when the intimacy level is high.
- If Daughter's intimacy is low, they'll refuse to use their skills to help you (Ouch!)
(Daughter refusing to use it's skill)
