Huge shoutout to the Aion Discord/Reddit community for giving me dozens of different opinions and perspectives! Your input was invaluable, and it was truly appreciated!

this game still hunts me even this days none can replace this game

Short term profit mind set is what destroyed MMO's in general

[vladgeor]

Old Aion just had a certain magic to it.
The wings, the PVP, the combat system, heck. Even the leveling and dungeons.
It was all just so frikin good.

Making it Pay To Win was a disgusting move.

I loved this game so much.. Never really found another mmo that can compare to old Aion.

[mazziecat]

I'm just very confused why companies run these once great MMOs into the ground. Like how can they not see how this would never work long term?

[perceptivity_]

Aion started dying in 4.0 with the Gunner and Bard introduction, then went 10x downhill with Aethertech.
ironically enough, my best moments of my gaming life were in Aion.
the in-game social part of it was 99% of what made Aion special, the game didn't really feel like a game.

We remain daevas in our hearts

Tsunahmie here- Very enjoyable video! I am so glad to see that our community has been given a way to make it's voice heard through you. Thank you for that! I believe a CRUCIAL thing you didn't mention, is that the Korean developers of Aion Retail have all but given up on the game and have not added any new content in the past 2 years or so. It is run by a shadow team that is just adding shop events nowadays and they moved almost the entire retail team onto redeveloping the classic version of Aion.

Once again, thank you for this and let's bring on the classic video!

Seems like w every company greed kills it all.

Ive play it 7 years before but still the game still manage to haunt me until this day, in fact I dream playing it last night lmao the gameplay, the music the mechanics is on of the best thing I have in this game that make my college days memorable, old school boss hunt and pvp rifting but the game now is unfixable sadly.

[geko]

Aion used ti be best solo group pvp MMO I've ever played, it all started dying after 3.0 IMO, as a Templar main it was my glory days playing in kahrun server.

Aion was the reason i pushed to get a computer to play games. I spent a long time on it and made some really good friends that i still talk to 11 yrs later. My best friend and I were accepted into the ffxiv 2.0 closed beta and felt much more appreciated as a player, as we had slowly been becoming disenfranchised with Aion. We have both gone back time and time again for the nostalgia to find that it is a shadow of what it was. It feels like the Devs have given up and corporate are pushing for profits. It's really sad to see. NCsoft and Gameforge are now companies i tend to avoid based on how things have gone with Aion.

Sad to see it's come to this. I started playing it back in 2008 or 2009 when private servers still were being actively developed (daily updates because the devs were figuring out the packets to communicate with the clients) since official was pay to play (I was around 13 back then and unwilling to pay for MMOs). When official servers switched to free to play I joined official and played there for quite a while, i think until short after Aion 4.0 (Dark Betrayal). Don't remember why I quit. I remember when they launched that class with the music theme, thought it was lame. It was a bit boring i guess, but i always felt the nostalgia (same with Lineage 2 and Runescape, two of my all time favorites as well) to go back to the game. Sad to see it went down like this. Don't even know what "retail" and "classic" mean in Aion context tbh.

[doug_durray]

This is going to hurt I loved this game 2009-12. Ok, let do this 😬

[arcadia]

Man, the old Aion holds such a special place in my heart, it's my "roman empire" so to speak. I cant stop feeling about it, how good it was in it's art direction and music, gameplay and pvp. I wish another game like this comes out one day, have really high hopes for the Riot mmo. But the magic of early Aion is something that i'm afraid can not be replicated. The worst thing is, after a bit of research into the people behind Aion, none of them seem to mention it at all as a part of their career. Is it really only the players who fell in love with the game? Did the developers always see it the way that they see it now?

[sychfye]

I remember buying this game as a kid, the blue metal disc box... man this game was hardcore but really fun!

[ula]

It's one of those games I keep wanting to return to. I started when the game first came out, and I quit because the ganking in Morheim got so crazy one couldn't complete a single quest. Acquiring abyss points and good armour was also a PAIN.

BUT that said, what can we play that's as good these days?

[MMOByte]

When was the last time YOU played Aion?

[Freflix]

I just downloaded the game again about an hour ago. But all my Characters are gone. Is it possivle, that they deleted accounts, that didnt't log in for a long time?
