MMORPG News - Aion Preview @ IGN

IGN takes a closer look at NCSoft's upcoming MMO, Aion.

Though we didn't get to see character creation today, players will begin their journey's across Atriea by picking a class and completing basic quests up through level 10 at which point players will be able to choose a secondary class based on their first choice and become one of the Daeva. These Daeva are the upper class of Atriea affording them access to better areas of the world and also granting them wings.

One of the interesting aspects of Aion is that players will have the opportunity to fly from place to place, battle foes in the sky, and explore vertically unlike any MMO aside from City of Heroes. Wings can only be used for a short period at a time (right now it's around a minute), but it's still plenty of time to reach new places, especially in the magical Abyss.
