Doesnt seem to be much expensive compared to other f2p games.

[Syrie]

Well, yeah prices are quite normal, if you ask me. Problem is, there's nothing interesting to buy at the moment. I hope they will add more skins and emoticons, like that "Bad girl" dance with music background. Some unique mounts after we hit 3.0 would be cool as well.

[Statica]

Hey guys,i used to play aion back in 2009/10 soon after initial release, got a warr tank to level 35 then quit playing as i got tired of being ganked while trying to level and quit playing.
But while playing with syrie in tera he was telling me its changed alot,is alot more pve content now and is harder for high level players to gank you now in the open areas,so he peaked my interest.
I managed to recover my old account after some lengthy contact with ncsoft but all my old chars are gone lol,seems i have a blank slate to start with,sigh
I assume this is because my chars were on another server which got closed down in the past i realy have no idea and i cant be bothered to contatc ncsoft all over again to find out what happened,they are so slow,and now that its all in the hands of gameforge its not realy their problem.
anyway i have rolled another warr on your server and will see what the game is like now,who do i poke to hit me up with an invite to the guild on Aion?
Name is Statica.
i cannot say how active i will be though,what with wow and tera taking up alot of my time,hope this will be oki if im not around much

[Teaser]

no problem at all, we are casual players anyway
ill be back home at midnight gmt and might login to the game. seems whitehorse is on medical leave and will stay home all day, i imagine he might play aion for a while during the day.
jonybat might login also, but during afternoon, however im not sure if jonybat already has invite permissions to the legion.

[Ashelia]

Statica take a look on all available servers.
If your old server got merged with another one, your characters should still exist on this "other one". Just gotta figure out which one it is.

What server did you play on?

[Yuuhi]

For those buying the AION Club membership subscriptions: I'd suggest going with the 1 month subs atm. Bought a 3 month sub myself and was supposed to get 3 gold packs, which i did. But allocating 1 of the gold packs to my char resulted in using up 2 gold packs and only receiving one. Already sent a mail with this issue and also found out other ppl are having that problem

[WhiteHorse]

@ Zero
Thanks for the warning!

[Yuuhi]

Since the takeover, I figured I listed some of the errors I stumbled on

- Launcher has a hard time connecting to the update server. I gotta open the launcher 10-100 times before it starts working properly
- Launcher is always getting interrupted by UAC for some reason, so I always have to give permission to run it
- Login servers are still annoying. A lot of times, I'll get the error "cannot connect to authorisation server" (Problem existed before GF took over)
- At Teamspeak, I couldn't use the push-to-talk key whenever Aion was the active window (Fixed this by running TS as admin)

[Teaser]

Never had or have such problems. Only thing that happens to me, but seems it has been less with gameforge, is that sometimes the game doesnt load clicking OK button, either on user/pass screen or the agreement screen. It doesnt freeze, animations and sounds still run, it just doesnt proceed to next screen.
But as i said, this issue happens much less with GF client now.

[Ashelia]

To me, there's absolutely no difference at all after I managed to fix the client (L10N folder was totally fked up in the transfer proces, that was the cause).
For me, connecting to the update server even goes a lot smoother and faster than it went with NCSoft.

UAC is something I always have disabled, since I find it majorly annoying. If you don't wish to disable it (which can be done in Control Panel -> User Accounts), you might wanna try if running it as an Administrator helps. You really have to define this in your shortcut, simply being logged on as an administrator account won't do.

[Scabbia]

I get stuck at login as well. I noted that it happens more frequently when you:

1. Press enter instead of clicking the "ok" button.
2. Terminate the Aion.bin process instead of closing it manually
3. When you get disconnected from the server, when you try to login again, this bug happens to me a lot.

I also get stuck after the "accept agreement" screen, the char select screen doesn't load.

[WhiteHorse]

So far i did not experience the issues you are refering. Strange.
