AION Free-to-Play News

The Black Cloud Merchants are running their popular Shugo Game again! Play to win valuable prizes – including: Transformation Contract: Yustiel, +9 Extreme Armour Selection Box, the Romantic Beach Outfit and many more.

Running: 21st June to 12th July

To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens which can be purchased in the shop until 5th July. During the entire duration of the event, you’ll also get three free Shugo Game Tokens per week in the AION Shop.

[h2]How the Shugo Game Works[/h2]

1. Click on the Shugo symbol at the bottom-right of your screen to open the Shugo Game.
2. Then click on Continue to start the game. This will use a Shugo Game Token.
3. Try to upgrade the weapon to its maximum level (8) to earn the highest-level reward.
4. Any time you want, you can click on Stop to end the game and you’ll get the reward for the level you got up to.
5. It’s also possible for upgrading to fail. Should this happen, you will receive the level 1 reward. If you want to restart the game, you’ll need another Shugo Game Token.
6. Using Shugo Game Tokens fills the bar at the top with Shugo Game Points. Once it’s full, this triggers the Nyerk Fever. While active, your chances of successfully upgrading and of winning more valuable prizes both increase.

[h2]Notes[/h2]

• At the end of the event, the Lucky Coins will be removed from the AION Shop. The [Jakunerk] Shugo Game Tokens will be removed both from the AION Shop as well as the game.
• Logging out or switching characters while playing a Shugo Game will automatically give you the prize for the level you got up to. You cannot resume the game where you left off.
• If you reach level 6 or higher and the upgrade fails, you can use two additional Shugo Game Tokens to try again from the level you failed at.

[h3]Vaizel and Triniel Head Into Battle[/h3]

Greetings Daevas,

As mentioned in our previous news, our systems have been heavily impacted over the last 3 days by DDOS attacks, which also affected other games from our infrastructure.

While we have already implemented some extra measures, the attackers have definitely spent effort and time preparing their malicious activities which are affecting our team’s work, but sadly and above all, deteriorating your experience on our servers.

They are now continuously targeting us, but our team is still fighting back and will continue non-stop until servers come back to their original and stable state.

We are deeply sorry about the inconvenience caused and we understand and share your frustration. We can assure you that we will do all we can to put an end to this situation.

Finally, we would also like to offer you compensation for those 3 days. Thus, starting today and until the 7th of June, all users will be able to claim free bundles inside our ingame Shop providing the following items (once per account – requires a character level 75):

• [Event] Bundle of Entry Scrolls for the Instance
  
• Entry Scroll for the Heart of Aphsaranta
  
• Bundle of Transparent Transformation Scrolls (10)
  
• 2x Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1)
  

We would like to thank you again for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Your AION Team.

We’ve been feverishly waiting for this moment, and now it’s finally here – AION Classic has launched on the European server!
Due to the very high number of players right now, we decided to open a second server. The new server Tahabata is already available. We recommend picking this one if you are joining now.

Relive that vanilla feeling of your favourite MMORPG. AION Classic gives you a fresh start in this fantastic version of old, rekindling all the nostalgia of the original, while delivering additional balancing updates and quality of life improvements.

AION Classic can be enjoyed by both seasoned veterans and fresh newcomers who are ready to choose their allegiance in the great conflict between the Elyos and Asmodians, and lose themselves in the fantastical world of Atreia!


[h3]Here’s What’s Waiting[/h3]

The huge and inimitable realm of Atreia is waiting to be explored:

Choose between one of the core classes (strong Warriors, silent Scouts, powerful Mages and influential Priests) and play as Gladiator, Templar, Hunter, Assassin, Spiritmaster, Sorcerer, Cleric or Chanter.


Experience amazing PvE content, such as the iconic Dark Poeta and Baranath Dredgion instances.


Craft a wide variety of useful items and weapons to make your hero even more powerful.


Progress to level 50, completing quests, earning powerful Daeva gear and dominating the timeline.


Charge into PvP, including heart-pounding Fortress Battles and more!

Spring is coming late to Aphsaranta this year – to the benefit of all active corps as they had spontaneously decided to hold a small spring festival. Now they’ve had enough time for planning, which they desperately needed.

The corps want to thank the Daevas for their dedicated support during the long winter months. Each hero can now look forward to wonderful rewards for entertaining missions and amazing deals at the merchants in Gelkmaros and Inggison.

During this event you can pick up items like the Ultimate Fragments of Memory, [Event] Extra Ticket for Hererim Mine, [Rune] Ultimate Gold Key and many more!

Running: 19th April to 10th May


[h3]Your Rewards[/h3]
Don’t let the magic of spring in Aphsaranta enchant you for too long – collect 5 Spring Leaves and combine them to a Spring Flower. You can exchange this flower for precious items. You can find an overview of all possible rewards in our list of rewards.

There are two ways to get Spring Leaves:

• Complete daily quests, 3-day quests, or weekly quests of the corps. For each completed quest, you’ll receive 5x [Event] Spring Leaf.

• Spring Feeling Pack (19x per account)

What you get for your coins:
