    Might be coming back... Any changes?

    I played FFXI for a while and am getting bored not having any pvp to fiddle with between dyna runs so I wanted to know how aions been since I quit several months ago.

    Has anything changed since I left or is it pretty much the same game just with more people @50?

    1.9 sometime in May, which on its own, doesn't seem to be adding too much, but will hopefully be making things more tolerable for 50s until 2.0. Whenever that'll be...

    Yeah there has been zero changes since somewhere back in January I believe in terms of content or balance. The only changes have been in regards to fort timers for the longest time.

    If you enjoyed it back then, you may enjoy it now. Server populations are down all over the place however. There is still so called PvP in the Abyss if you go look for it though. So if that's your thing, you will be happy.

    As Arus said, 1.9 will bring with it 2 separate factions of daily quests for both Asmo and Elyos. Which gives you a single daily quest per day to achieve. However, from the looks of these, they are not WoW type dailies and are more to assist in leveling than anything else. Whenever 1.9 hits there will be some balance changes and new anti-CC abilities for all at level 40. As well as increased drop rates in DP (woohoo?).

    Thinking I might start back up early May just because I had Miragent shoulders to work on, which doesn't really require any of the pitfalls that kinda had me grumpy when I initially canceled. Part of me leaving was also the last XI update, but even being amongst old shellmates, I found myself reminded of the cliques and negative attitudes that kinda soured me from XI to begin with. Hopefully 1.9 itself would happen early enough in the month to have me ready to start on Miragent legs and then catching up on things like unlocking my last stigma slot in DP. Maybe I'd even find a better legion this time around so I'm not feeling like I'm spinning my wheels in pursuit of gear upgrades.

    Well I need a little change of pace from FFXI so I don't burn out on it and the PvP in aion is fun its just the grind that got to me.

    I had a chanter which was really close to being fully twinked out and was looking forward to finishing that up.

    Spent a bunch making a twink assassin cause I thought that would be fun, only to find Morheim has level 20-22 people only, and anyone 30+ has a 45 chanter/cleric power leveling them.

    Do you need to have an active account for the monthly rewards to count? Would rather leave it inactive for a few months while the AP items come in.

    You have to have an active account for the TOTAL number of months. Meaning you play for 6 months you cancel for 1, you come back for the 8th month, but you get the 7th month rewards.

    Least thats how I am led to believe is how it works.

    game pretty much stale atm

    dont get me wrong, im still playing it and still trying to bring down DP S boss still....@2% but game been ruining my pre-mades as people all lost interest

    there isnt any much pvp on my server anymore. mass asmo quit, elyos got back all their fort, and elyos all PVE-ing and no one in abyss anymore

    still 1-2 pvp action if you can find tho, but thats it on my server

    you hardly meet any premades anymore right on dred openings. elyos too busy with fort, and asmos all quitted

    i hope 1.9 will change things

    Naw, don't know anyone. I keep LFG off most of the time/don't even look at it. I don't like the UI of Aion at all...I never look at the chat log for whatever reason. Any way to change the position of things at all yet? Third party or whatever, I haven't seen much aside from changing the color of the UI skin...

    Been trying to convince myself the game isn't as boring as it is for 5 days since I've resubbed.

    But I can't help it and logout after 10 mins in game.

    Maybe 1.9 will change a lot but right now... it's just taking up space on my HDD.

    Thats fine, means it will be that much easier to get screens of say level 50 Draconic armor so I can cry myself to sleep at night.

    This is amazing, I love being able to actually socket my gear. FYI there seem to be more Asmo than elyos already 50, not that it will be that hard. I rolled Elyos, I can't even begin to imagine what 1 bollvig kill would bring or being an Asmo running Adma and having everyone walk out with 50 Extendables.
