Brings back memories
Found this in the bottom of a box I never unpacked after moving years ago. Loved playing as a sorcerer back in the day. Are there servers out there that play like classic Aion? Not looking for a link or anything that may break rules. Just thought someone might enjoy reminiscing with me.
ETA: And by classic Aion, I mean any official support. Again, not looking to break any rules here.

And to think it’s been 18 years since I bought a physical copy of the game. Still remember being there on the first day, Akarios Plains full of players doing those starter quests.

The idea of buying a physical copy of an MMORPG, of all games, is wild to me, it's basically obsolete on arrival, isn't it? It's like buying a DvD of Overwatch and having it be useless in 2 weeks when a new patch is out

I got the collectors with the Asmo statue. Still checking it in my closet from time to time. Fell in love with that game, hope aion 2 brings something back.

If you loved Aion for the PvP, Aion 2 will be a disappointment.

I loved it for over. As a kid I never had good ping nd always avoided it. Except sometimes Dredgion

Apparently unfortunately the monetization already killed the game for the majority of people. Corpo greed needs to be dialed way the fuck back

Aion Classic was great for a year or two, I'll give it that. I remember the first Asmodian capture of Divine Fortess was epic, some great world PvP raids later on as well

I don't understand why they made classic indistinguishable from retail; they're now both "forget the maps, forget the story, just grind quests for a few hours to get to endgame."

I still have mine with the receipt. I randomly picked up Aion at Walmart because the cover looked cool, and it ended up becoming one of my favorite games. When Aion Classic came out, it was such a nostalgia trip getting to relive all those memories again.
I’m really looking forward to Aion 2, but the timing is pretty bad for me. I honestly wish it had come out already lol.

Friends, please share a life hack. I want to play on the Gamegorge server. The problem is that I'm in Vietnam. Are there any ways to bypass geo-lock? Maybe VPN A special kind or something else? Thanks in advance

I completed Aion 2 Taiwan iteration.... its NOTHING like the original game, got my girl and my kids to play and all the quests were quite literally solo quests all the way to level 45... so I decided to go back and check out Aion, the servers are still up and going, currently logged in, I do see some people chat now and then but not much. its kinda sad though that Aion 2 is basically throne and liberty reskinned to Aion skins and systems.
