Is Aion a viable speedrunning title?

Aion is an MMORPG that is now F2P. I've only seen one run of levels 1 to 10 before, and the video was significantly sped up. The categories would be a little difficult to come up with, considering there could be a lot of player interaction and sometimes parties are required in order to complete some content.

Two runs that I thought would be doable are a Level 1 to 10 run, and a Level 1 to 25 run, as there is no necessity for grouping up with people.

The runs would be split up into Race (Elyos/Asmodian) as their worlds are different, and one of the five classes you can start with. An example being: Level 1-10 Elyos Mage

I've done a few runs already with Asmodian Warrior and have had a ton of fun. I can post a video later today if people seem interested/want to know more about rules I've been implementing for the runs.

Anything is a viable speedrunning title, it really just depends on how much time you have and how dedicated you are.

I guess he is talking about that video? then yes, it is not running at real time. you can see a skill run down a 8 sec cooldown in 1-2 secs.

you could add raids / instances as ILs, having people engage in teamwork while the clock is ticking is always nice to see.

Coolio. Then uhh... help me out here... the next step would be to submit a run? And how does overseeing a game go normally? The person who is dedicated to running it/has the best time becomes a mod?

First off, you will need to submit the game to the site. You can do that over on the requests page - http://www.speedrun.com/requestgame

After that you get Super Mod of the game. From there it is mostly down to you how to run it, who is allowed mod, though you must take the community's interests in mind.

Thank you so much @Ozotuh. I will record a run and post it when I get some time this week. Thank you everyone for posting and helping me out.
