Here's a few things that have changes since the first few months:
Drop rates have been increased
Energy of Repose (rested XP)
Bots mostly eliminated
Extra flight paths added
Stigmas made purcasable from vendors
Stun counters for all classes
Daily quests
Rentable equipment
2H weapon fusion
A really fantastic LFG system
Server merges means that the populations on all servers are really amazing at the moment.
Flight path and soul healing costs reduced.
Plenty of double xp weekends, and the occassional free soul healing weekend.
My only real complaint is that there still needs to be more content for the 30-45 range. You can only run Fire Temple and Steel Rake Middle/Lower (and a few others) so many times before they get old. There's actually plenty of quests, so soloers are fine, but those of us who prefer the group experience are left with a choice between soloing or the infamous grind.
I am a grinder but I don't like a game with 3 to 6hour instances, ganking strangers just because they are from the opposite race, and doing sieges in narrow castles taking random target by pressing tab in invisible mode to avoid the lag. I'll login only to say hello to old friends
I got banned as well for no reason. I eventually got my account unbanned but it was a hastle over the span of a few days to do so. By the time I was unbanned I lost all will to play the game.
If I wanted to play a game with so much grinding I'd just go back to playing RFO.
By the way : you do realize they expect folks outside the USA to phone to the USA ( it's the same number , lol ) , don't you ?? That's a bloody intercontinental phonecall !!
And those times will be EST ,lol ( or even pacific time ).
Yeah I just realized this WTF ?? , so a call for me from the UK would probably cost me a packet ! .... I think I'm gonna go with my original feelings on this , which is fuck em , its not worth the stress at my age .... I am still really angry about it tho .
Considering how most other games give you 1-2 weeks of reactivation time, kind of a rip off on their part. Plus, 2 days is hardly enough time to look back into a game to see if it's worth resubscribing.
not the besr time for resubs when everyone ingame is totally pissed.. lol .Bad move on the transfers has split up legions, families, and freinds

Bad move on the transfers has split up families, and freinds
I hope you meant in game family and friends.. That would be.. erm.. whats the word?! I dunno but family and friends to "split up" because of that. They need councelling.

Where are you getting this tripe? Nothing has been split up, servers were simply merged. Some people and legions had to rename, but that was it. The only way you would see splitting up is if people were manually making use of the free server transfers, which is their fault, not NCSoft's.

That a good bit of improvements but still its disappointing that they didn't do any more group instances. Those were the one thing I made sure to do every one. I probably ran Steel Rake 15-20 times, though, that was mostly for the chance to get stigmas I needed and some good gear not so much because I wanted to. So you can buy all stigmas from the vendor? Like Beastial Fury and Focused Shots?
DO not come back to this game, trust me, whatever you do stay the fuck away. This game will cause you much grief and probably give you cancer, let this by your last and final warning. Just look at their forums and the shit-storm they caused with another of their broken promises which in turn caused mass cancellations.

LOL yeah youre right there, please just leave us play in peace you haters. If you play Aion youll get aids or something...
I enjoy certain parts of Aion, particularly PVP. Like most people I see room for improvement everywhere, but that's the case with all mmos I have played. Since I'm level 50 I'm not sure what the double XP will do for me though.

Like Beastial Fury and Focused Shots?
Yes, you can. The prices are tiered by level. Starts at around ~250,000 kinah +/- 50k for one at level 20, and ramps up to I think 3 million for the level 50 ones. Don't know what level those are since I didn't play Ranger, but I remember my bodyguard (37 stigma) was ~1.6 million kinah at the vendor.
The list looks good, but I was severely disappointed with all of them. Personally, I didn't notice any increase in drops (ran Training Camp on three alts and didn't see any drop, ran FT a few times saw nothing, ran Steel Rake at least 15 times post that increase and saw 1 blue drop), and frankly, everything else listed on there I found to be a rather 'meh' change or not noticeable. Your mileage will vary, of course.
If I can recall when I last played Bestial fury was around 8mil from the broker and Focus Shots was close to 15mil. It was really bad. I ran SR so many times until the one day I decide what the hell, I'll group with another ranger for this run and it ends up dropping and he of course wins it to my gimp rolls. Needless to say it went down hill from there, along with the guild disbanding and all.
Has anyone even tried to Log-In? I reinstalled and patched and no it didnt take a day and guess what - cant log in; checked my account and says not playable; emailed NCSoft and the guy escalates the ticket and at the end of his sig it says:
"Billing and Technical Support can be reached via phone, Monday - Friday, 12pm - 5pm Central at (512) 225-6359"
So unless the weekend staff address the ticket via email im SOL lol - also love the hours they have for phone time (wish I had a mid-day work schedule like that one nice but fail should be more like 9am to 9pm or something more realistic). So back to my home on u-know-where lol hey at least WOW doesnt make me lag so bad and such a shame i'd rather play Aion, its better looking and i like the skills etc grind sucks but a nice change from what im used to; but the customer service sucks imho. Soooo did anyone have any success loging in? Any differences noticeable? Should i keep trying or just uninstall and call it a day?
I tried but realized I forgot my password. So the only way to have it reset is to sent a ticket. Its already been a day since so I probably won't be getting in for this. My account also shows it is not playable. If I have to do anything to fix that too then I might as well just uninstall.
IMO the funniest thing to me about how badly Aion failed was back when i was playing WARHAMMER online. Which was about eleventy billion times better than aion despite its own failures. Anyways near the latter days of war's life, we were hemorhaging players like crazy to Aion. There was SOOOO many people posting on the forums extolling the virtues of how awesome it was, and how it spanks all over warhammer. So, i fell for the hype, and man i couldnt have been more dissapointed. The only redeeming quality of the game ws it was relatively polished graphically and in the UI/controls.
I just wish WAR had of had a third faction ala DAOC and i guarantee you that game would be going strong as hell.
"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."
I played Aion in beta, and a few months after, but drifted away from the game. I didn't have the time to level with the guild I had chosen and soloing in a pvp game was just dull. Recently I started playing again, i noticed the graphics are good but in the Elyos starting area there seems to be a lot of terrain bugginess. White-outs, water ripples across land, that sort of thing.
I think I will just quit again, the game is just another grind. I just wish the new releases were coming out sooner so I could decide which one I want to go with. (gw2, sw:tor, rift, tera, etc)

There you go, another fanboi who can't stand any criticism of their game. While I don't agree with the original post that much, anyone with an iota of intelligence has to recognize that this game has major issues.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Aion is like these days, specifically the bot situation. The fanbois are far too positive to be taken seriously.
I had left the game because of the grind ( running fire temple 19 times really made me unsub).
Wanted to peak in and check on my toon
um,
Who else has got this reactivation? I havnt
