Aion: Goes F2P and Revamped

[Imitarate]

Date was just announced for Aion 3.0 and free-to-play; April 11th.

[Eanae]

Damn, my account is only good to April 5th. =/

[Renzokuken]

After all the problems you've had, are you considering giving them more money just for 6 days? XD

[Eanae]

Nope lol

[Renzokuken]

Since 3.0 is coming out in a month, have they given any indication on what gear will be available and if it will cost AP or anything? Before I blow all my AP anyways...

[Trichocyst]

I could ask around and probably find out a little bit for you.

yes there will be lv60 gear. i am saving my AP to see what i should do with it. if you are not following up the game, there are also cruicble gear that has pvp-+. should find the right mix for you before spending medals or AP

[Renzokuken]

The problem I'm having at the moment is I can get AP much much faster than I can get platinum medals. And since I don't really want to keep running around as a 5 star general with just so-so PvP gear, I'll probably have to settle with some level 50 AP gear until I can finish off the damn platinums. Of course, this is all bound to change dramatically in a month. We'll see...

This has some google-translated stat info for the 3.0 abyss gear; click the little Cloth Leather etc links for stats.

[Renzokuken]

1M to 700K AP for the good armor, and 2M AP for the good weapon.... Plus a shit load of new medal types, which may end up untradable...

Guess I'll keep upgrading with lvl 50 and 55 AP gear. Not much of a reason to save AP for 3.0 stuff until we know more about how easy the medals are to get.

There's a mount called the Pagati Veyron. Mother of god.

[Purrrfect]

Lol that's awesome!

[Imitarate]

So, Zikel and Vaizel are merging. It's called Tiamat.

Have a FAQ.

All servers will be set to Central time for now.

Zikel names will be overridden by Vaizel names, but you'll be given a name change ticket.

Race conflicts will be okay til April 11th, then you have to transfer one race. (IT DOESNT SAY FREE)

[Trichocyst]

You should hear the rage I'm hearing on vent from Nyx and Sly. I was told that Valor was so upset at the decisions put down by the higher ups that he was literally choking back rage tears in a meeting. Someone just said, "If you want a free game time card so you can log onto the forums and trolls, let me know." Oh man.

[Solace]

Yeah, this is bullshit. If I knew this was gonna happen I would have never resubbed last month. Been on Zikel since head start and now I'm forced to change my name for some inactive level 10s? Fuck that.

[Katlan]

Id assume everyone gets a name change ticket from both servers

[Trichocyst]

I lose every single one of my names but one. Nyx is fighting for some rights for Zikel, but ... yeah.

[Imitarate]

No. Zikel gets shafted. Vaizel names stay, legion and character, and Zikel names get changed. If your name is changed, here, have a name change ticket. Had the name since beta? Oh well. You aren't giving us any more sub fees, right?

Yep, I feel REALLY bad for the Community support team. The player base outrage is incalculable, and righteously so. This has been an almost hilariously absurd decision.

[Trichocyst]

I'm talking to her on vent right now. She literally screamed at the Austin offices today so long and so hard that they hung up on her. The Zikel Elyos Governor has 17 million AP and will lose her name to a level 4 alt of a banned account.

[Imitarate]

So... how drunk IS Nyx?
