    Just created my first character, level 1 Priest named Spawnbroker. I'm Elyos on Yustiel, is there a PA guild?

    For the new people:

    Yes, there is a PA guild and it has been going for 5 full months without wasting away to nothing. I think that may be a new record for MMO games that aren't spelled "WoW". We currently have 70 slots filled out of the maximum of 90. We try to discourage people from guilding every alt they make simply because there is a limit on the number of CHARACTERS that the legion (guild) will hold.

    We have seen some attrition over time as people have lost interest in Aion. This was expected with a shiney new title. We also took a pretty significant hit about two months ago when most of the "hardcore" people all left en masse[\i] for the Nexus legion. We've been doing some recruiting and have managed to pick up a few more active people. We're still sitting in the top-20 ranked legions on the server (currently at #17) and are doing a decent job at playing mid-level (30-40) content. We usually have a handfull of people online at primetime.

    Currently, Xzanth is our Brigadier General. He is on almost 24-hours a day for 4 days and then off completely for 4 days on a rotating work schedule. He plays several alts and the search widget in the game is absolutely HORRIBLE at finding a specific guild. The best chance you have is to look at the list of players on the official aion website HERE and try to catch anyone that has the tag Centurion next to their name. All Centurions have invite privileges.

    I've tried catching Xzanth and uh...I saw a Dresden in game earlier, sent them tells, but wasn't able to get a response. I figure it just gets lost a lot of times, so I'll try again later!

    Lots of game changes afoot.

    Apparently both the 1.9 version and the 2.0 versions are due to be released and localized for NA/EU in 2010.

    Version 1.9 first:
    As some of our more observant followers noticed, a top secret, critical meeting just took place between our European and North American offices. This meeting was held in parallel with a press conference with over 60 invited journalists that took place at the same time in NCsoft’s Korean headquarters.

    Unfortunately, we don’t have a transcript of the meeting to share. Security precautions for the meeting were aggressive—including the use of lava pits and muscular bulls—which made leaking the information during the meeting an uninviting option. The objective of the meeting was to nail down the patch notes of the upcoming version 1.9 patch for Aion.

    We don’t know whether it was because of our tactful dialogue with the parties involved, our supreme abilities of persuasion, or perhaps Kinslon’s affinity for chocolate, but we were able to procure permission to publish some highlights about what was discussed in spite of the meeting’s confidential nature.

    • New skills for every class (including new skills specifically for countering stun attacks)

    • Dozens of daily quests with different objectives and rewards

    • New quests, increased quest rewards, and increased instance drop rates

    • Dredgion enhancements

    • Max item enchantment increased to +15

    • An increase in experience gain (including a new experience bonus system: Energy of Salvation)

    • Soul Healing, Soul Binding, and Flight Transportation cost decreases

    • A mechanic that allows two two-handed weapons to be combined to create one more powerful two-handed weapon

    • Looking for group (LFG) functionality improvements

    • Numerous user interface improvements



    Stay tuned, and make sure to grab the tentative patch notes (far exceeding 20 pages in length) when they’re published later this week.

    Fly safe, Daevas,

    —The Aion Community Team

    Version 2.0:

    I noticed that the giant "siege" summons are included in the concept are for 2.0 so (hopefully) we will be seeing an expanded version of the current PvP system as well!!

    I really want to go back to this game after reading about the upcomming updates. It's like my dream patch for this game. I really enjoyed it but the quests were lacking in rewards big time, and i like questing a lot more than grinding. Even if the quest asks me to grind, at least i have a direction and purpose which i like.

    PRetty excited, i will probably sub for like 3-4 months straight this time. Give it a real go.

    Wow, that's a pretty terrible trial.

    So yeah, I decided to re-sub to Aion, since it seems that the game is still pretty actively played globally, and one of my friend reached the level of my main character. I wanted to see the patches, the changes, if it's any better now.

    So I log in... and my character is naked. All my kinah, all my items and armors and weapons are gone. Someone apparently raided my account and sold all my shit.

    Of course I changed my account password and e-mailed NCsoft for help, but in the meantime I'm pretty angry.
