If you're thinking of reactivating or even remotely considering it on whimsy please check out my thread to find some of the changes and things awaiting you.
No need to check the thread, simply consider the fact that I came back. I mean if that's not reason enough to get your stinkin' butts in game, then I don't know what is!
All patches/expansions with Aion have historically been free. They implemented the long-awaited mentor system. I wish all MMOs would start with a mentor system - but anyway, it's just what the name implies. Any character 10 levels above you can "mentor" you as if they were an equal level member of your group.
The expansion that up'd the level cap is free as well? :O I haven't done my research. Looks like the activation is about to end though, I JUST got my activation email. unch:
I didn't even know about the reactivation event. I simply intended to try Aion again, using a trial account and new character, but thought I should try logging into my old account first for some reason. To my surprise, I got in, and I flipped out! I thought they forgot to cancel my sub or something from 2 years ago, LOL! The day I decided to try Aion again was the first day of the 2-year anniversary. Funny how that worked.
I have to say one of the best things I have seen is the sense of community with all the aion folks. All kinds of fun is had in channel as well as in game.
