    With Aion (EU) going F2P and some exciting changes with the most anticipated patch in Aion's history, I am sure we will see some returning friends and hopefully new ones as well! Please make sure you opt-in to flag your account for the F2P model!

    There's good news for all Daevas and those who wish to become one: from February 2012, Aion will be switching to a free-to-play model. The monthly subscriptions will be dropped and the basic game content will be available to you for free from the start. Additionally, we will be offering special packs that offer you further liberties: for example, opening your own store and collecting an unlimited daily amount of aether and essences.
    The existing players have special reason to be happy - they will be rewarded for their loyalty and can look forward to bonuses! More information on this can be found in the 'Free-to-Play Model' section.

    At the same time as the switch to free-to-play comes a change in publisher. In Gameforge, NCsoft has a strong partner at its side in order to further develop and constantly improve Aion. The Gameforge team will not only be responsible for the new servers but will also take on responsibility for the operation and support of the game. We are always open to questions, suggestions and criticism, with the aim that we can mould Aion to incorporate your wishes.

    You can find answers to many new features and any questions you may have in the FAQ. Information on many different topics has been gathered there with the hope of clearing any doubts you may have. If you have any questions that aren't answered, or should your expectations have not quite been met, you are more than welcome to send us an email to support@aionfreetoplay.com. Our support team will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Q. How can I transfer my account to the Gameforge server?

    A. Please flag your account to change it to the free-to-play model.
    To do so, please follow this link: http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/faq/item/account_01

    Q. Do I have to set up a new account if I want to continue playing Aion?

    A. No. That is not necessary. With the migration to the new Gameforge server you can continue to play as usual. All of your characters and progress will remain intact and in addition you will be awarded Veteran status.

    I still support both. So no, that's not what "I think".

    I wish I could lend you an account for you to see that the game has changed a lot since the days of grinding out crap back in the day. A few players have returned and have been pleasantly surpized to see the changes and the ammount of content they added. With 3.0 coming out within the next month or so (no official date yet but the patches have been added with the weekly updates lately), you may want to give Aion a shot again, PVP has picked up quite a bit in the Balaur regions and it gets pretty intense at times.

    Think about it! Anyway if you do end up wanting to play Aion again, let us know, we have tons of people who will be more than happy to help you lvl up and be on your way to some awesome end game stuff.

    -Cheers!
