Have you completely forgotten the botting and gold selling? Aion was so beautiful, the population seemed so high, the exp curve sounded so demanding, the crafting appeared to be gratifying. Then, bots leveled with the touch of one button. The gold sellers combined with botting ruined crafting and the economy. Not to mention, the ganking and lack of satisfaction from pvp.
How could you forget all of this and want to resub?
After what I've read a lot has changed, and nevermind that, not what I asked
I think I'm gonna try this game again Seems promising after what I've read, plus I'm bored.
Will I get access to 2.0 through resubbing? I dont have to buy anything extra or such..
Assuming you already have a retail account, the expansion is free for you. Just download it and patch your files. Seeya ingame soon!
And as far as the other posters still clammering about the bots and gold spam, that has been gone (like other users said) for ages. Instead of focusing on the fact they existed, just like in every other game, applaud the fact they are now almost completely gone. And it took them less time to get rid of them than it did, we'll say for example, Blizzard with Warcraft. There's no need to flame for them improving the game, be thankful they did.

Any tips on server choice? Used to play Elyos but it's not that important.
I dont see the point b/c all u are going to do is more pve since 3 servers are owned by elyos and 1 server owned by asmos. There is no one to pvp with.
been thinking of resubbing Aion awhile now and this could be my change aswell im only annoyed and since i havent read anything new they made or remove from the game i really hated the random rifts.

Just resubbed and im completely blown away by the changes and improvements... so many new things to do, and that grinding feel is gone, quests award much more exp and it seems that everywhere I go I have new quests to collect.
And above all, and I know this is gay but whatever... the pets are sooo cute =P

Any tips on server choice? Used to play Elyos but it's not that important.
I've only been back about a month now, I'm still trying to get a feel for the server population of the other servers. The transfers for each server are pretty restricted, I was going to transfer my Asmodian off Vaizel to Siel but only had the option to choose Zikel. I'm west coast, so picking an east coast event would have most things happening a bit to early for me, so I chose to stay on Vaizel.
I read that a lot of Elyos are transferring to Vaizel, so hopefully Vaizel is evening up a little bit. Honestly, I'd just choose a server and pick the side you want to play. There's always the option to transfer if you aren't happy with your selection to a server that suits you better.
All i can say is this expansion really revitalized the game in the west now they just need to expand on both pvp and pve on a regular basis. Really loving the qq from all the rift gankers now that they can't farm easy kills. Say what you will most of them only ganked low level players hence the 80% damage nerf when rifting into the lowbie areas

I'm in Europe so
Anyway all 3 english servers had restrictions on what race to choose so I just rolled a dice more or less
Not sure the 80% solution is a good one, doesn't that make rifting obsolete? At the time I played rifting was quite a lot of fun. You can see how it might become ganky as disparity between players increased. The game was already developing into some what of a gankfest when I left anyway. (Organised fort taking was cool but back then that was a crashfest though I am sure that is fixed now).
Still, I'll have a go when they have a welcome back trial for vets.

Rifting Nerf
- 80% PVP damage reduction in Morhiem and Eltnen
- 20% PVP damage reduction in Belusan and Herion
- Kisks can no longer be dropped in mountains.
Not bad at all if u ask me. I am guessing that they nerfed the Morheim and Eltnen rift with such a high proccent ,because there are alot of lvl 30+ players with full Abyss items gangking often in both maps and that lvl 40/50 are not coming to help, since the map is only for low-mid lvls.
In the other maps , there is a smaller proccent since high lvl characters have quests over there, and can come and help if needed.
So I find it a good solution !

I dont see the point b/c all u are going to do is more pve since 3 servers are owned by elyos and 1 server owned by asmos. There is no one to pvp with.
And its losers like this that just got beat up in school and handed over their lunch money. Grow a pair and fight!!!!
I bet you were one of the asmos dueling awhile we were trying to take forts.
The majority of people who rift in Aion now are well geared 50's or well geared twinks that faceroll other players who cant compete gear wise or are lower then them. This is griefing plain and simple. The new rift nerf was a necessary solution. Its sad that it came to this but clearly people who can grief as their source of enjoyment werent about to stop doing it even with the curse they added a while back. Their idea of a rift system for pvp was good but it was turned into a griefers paradise.
With the new 2.0 patch Aion become even better game. For me, however the new content is mostly pve. For example, they added few nice solo instances. And the faction parts of ground abyss (2/3 of the total area) are heavily guarded by NPCs. The only problem for me is faction imbalance on most servers.

Good to hear they have the restrictions up, tho. I know we have transfer restrictions, but I'm not sure about character creation restrictions. Gonna have to go check that out, if so, I'm happy. Get some balance flowing back into these servers and everyone should be nearly complaint free.
I resubbed a while after 1.9 was launched, and enjoyed it a lot again. Now, with 2.0, it's even more fun, plus I really like the quest markers on the map. O yeah, the pets are cute too
I played Aion when it first came out and I really enjoyed the game, from the beauty to the game mechanics. The big problem for me was the bots/RMTS etc. But from what i hear that has really toned down and 2.0 does sound fantasic, havent got the game anymore but I have preordered the game + expansion for Friday! Getting quite excited about it!
Ive been meening to reinstall and so how the game is going. Only question I have is does anyone know if they are offering and returning player free game time or anything like that? I really dont want to pay the sub and than be annoyed that i did.
AION = Big fail to me not going back it's not about anything that a patch can fix it's the Core game it self and btw u still fall in the water like a rock and just Die XD haha ...........
Wow! I am actually shocked to see so many positive remarks for Aion 2.0, thats a rare thing on this website. All these remarks have actually convinced me to re-download the game and give it another shot.
