![]() The reason NA died so fast was not down to Aion Classic itself it was down to NCsoft west the mess they made of it was beyond a joke it was like NCsoft West had never run Aion before and did not know the game at all.Īlso there were a great deal of Aion EU players that went to NA classic and the time diff was part to play also ping etc, but most left classic due to NCwest you can still read the posts if NCwest has not del them of the forum. Then they get bored and leave until the hype is dead and over and people forget it exists. If they bring Aion Classic to EU, the population would decline much like what happened in NA. Aion is not a popular IP like WoW despite it trying to be. Why are people still crying about Aion Classic considering the "success" it had in NA? Was there a hype? Yes. ![]() That alone is enough content for 2-3years at least.īut they won't do it ofc, they don't have the capability, rights etc. If they want a prosperous Classic server they'd have to make it progressive as in, get patches a few weeks behind Korea and maybe even go further than they do, and get 3.* and then 4.* and stop there, while giving ppl the option of remaining in older version server. Those type of handlings worked 10 years ago. Gameforge is not capable tbh, and it's going to be the same story, "communication issues" "we're in talks with Korea" "soon". Perhaps it's naïve hoping this will not be repeated with classic, at least not immediately, but there's never been a game quite like Aion for me and I would love to play it again. I know you are not responsible for the game development, but when the weekly shop update became a weekly casino update (thanks Mookie for all the rng lootboxes and no new skins) and all protest was ignored, it was time to leave. I say somewhat serious as I quit Aion because of how gameforge was handling their cash shop. There's hardly a better way to middle finger your players than show them you treat the game as a cash grab worse than new private servers arriving seemingly every two months and disappearing again just as fast, except you would expect that from a private server (hence why many people who want to play Aion still stay off them) and perhaps not from a somewhat serious game company. I still think classic will work out quite well, but the success will depend heavily on how the cash shop is handled and if there are economy breakers like the candy abuse, or abusable p2w ap/medal gains from gold packs or similar like in Korea where people who cashed heavily at start had full ap set a few weeks into release before the loop/cash-hole was closed. The grind is tough, and endgame is lacking without even dredgion. But what patch people prefer is spread out quite a bit, and 1.9 barebones might not be all too tempting for the people who prefer 4.x for example. Private server population is enough to prove that. But is too early to guess if this will lead to a better game experience.Thing is, plenty of people want to play pre- 5.x Aion. Gameforge already shown to have closely observed NA classic experience in theyr classic announcing news. I think peple will play aion still for a lot of years but actually is very hard to guess wich server NA/EU will be worth to roll/reroll now (Eu date is TBA yet but is scheduled for end of march). What i can say is Aion is a great game (whith all its bugs) i tried many other MMo but i ever back to Aion. In this scenario if the NA pop will drop again under certain percentage ther's a small chance that also some Na player will follow Eu players (friends/legion/better population proms). Bots is a different chapter as they are ever present in any game. ![]() Starting with last december i noticed a slow but constant growth of pop but the real question is: will this server survive to opening of EU server next month?Ī good percentage of population come from EU and they will most probably join a local server mainly for ping and time zones.Īlso traditionally gameforge is more strict against hacks/double faction accounts/offensive gamers and this is good for many players but not for all. However this server dropped dramatically its population from a nice to start 25% to 9% due to big and minor mistakes of Ncwest team. The DeadServerTrollComplainingAndCryingBabies are the cancer of gaming today. So i was told that this game is dead in an older post
