New Updates are coming, don’t panic! With 7.9 Pangea is back for example, more News will follow:
Basically they are 100% out of ideas and just bring back once or twice deleted stuff with some modifications on the side but relatively nothing new.

It is about memories.
If you don't like it, you don't pay, and you don't play
Right...money can bring back memories. Exactly the ones we need to revive. Better watch youtube vids of 1.5. It's free.
I like aion 1.5 better than current aion. For me I love the idea of old pay to play aion and will definitely play it. You can stay in p2w retail aion if u like.
Its going to be Gameforge version, not S2P, but monetized f2p version

Before anyone gets too excited the NCSoft announcement is for a Korean Classic 1.5 server to be released in korea on 11/11 with a pay monthly subscription which includes an hour a day free or 24 hours in the first week.
So far there is not a word about an official English Classic version from GF or NCWest so until that happens it is pure speculation if it will happen and when. If it happens at all it probably won't be until next year.
By the way some of us were playing Aion before GF got their EU licience and our accounts were transferred to them but I don't know what version that was at the time?

From the player perspective, I believe it is not about money. It is about memories.
No, he celebrate that he will possibly be able to spend some nice time.
I understand that point of view and it seems legit.
But from my point of view it´s about principles too. Most people, who wish old AION back, complained for years, what NC-Soft/Gameforge made out of AION over the years (p2w, grinder game, unbalanced, etc., forum is full of it).
And now exactly these people plan to honor NC-Soft/Gameforge by giving them even more money because NC-Soft/Gameforge sells them some memories on a classic server? That´s the point which I can´t understand, on one side people blame NC-Soft/Gameforge for what they have done to this game, on other hand exactly these people will pay NC-Soft/Gameforge more money for old stuff which they already payed for, do these people have absolutely no principles in life?
As I said before, no blame on NC-Soft/Gameforge from me, the concept is brilliant....

Maybe the game was just more fun back then? Maybe it being older content doesn't matter to many, as long as its enjoyable?

2.7 or just before.

2.7 or just before.
So that means a 1.5 Classic would be totally un-localized for EU so GF would need to do it again for EU. Can you see them investing or doing that again after cutting back on the current version?
From a cost perspective it would make a lot of sense to have just one English international Classic version.

No, not quite. I'm quite certain that majority of Strings from 1.5 - 2.7 are also included in gameforge's 3.0 or whatsoever was their first version.
IIRC the first time NCsoft decided to remove significant part of the game content was 4.8 (however i'm pretty sure even then most of the Strings was still in the game files until not too far ago).
-
In the video they have mentioned class balance - some changes in skills to fix weakest classes. So it won't be 1 to 1 same thing we have played already.
It makes me wonder if we can count on more minor tweaks. Galeas, I know it's still not certain if we will get that classic server in our region, but if it will be the case, will you be able to forward our feedback to NCsoft? I'm thinking that it would be good idea to disable godstones completely. Most of players would probably agree with me that's the thing we don't miss at all

i agree
with you but i doubt gameforge will do that because if i remember in the event of card you have a gs 10% and it's the event who make the most money for gf I don't see gf accepting this kind of suggestionmy bad i forgot card it's 4.x and not 1.x or 2.x

I would like godstones to stay in the game, but as an visual effect items, not as rng/gamechanger items. Kinda like a skins
I really liked the silence/blind effects qq

Godstones are the first thing to monetize if they (gf) wont go the sub model way. I also see things like rng box with Miragent heart etc.

Interesting, the game will use the client of 2.7 from the start, so they will have the skill balance of 2.7 even on "1.2", that's good news.
I really hope we will get classic here as well Galeas give us good news soon pls

I enjoyed godstones and the rng element of it, call me weird. Especially playing a Chanter where you had no such skills like blind/paralize/silence.
Having a godstone put you more on equal footing with a class that had those skills. I don't think this is even a major issue, surely there's bigger problems.
Like... will we really get it? Nobody knows yet. Gameforge is "in talks" that means nothing.

For me it's not directly the godstones i hate but it's when this happend during arena
how many people found themselves in this kind of situation and pulled out their hair when this happened:

That's very rare to happen. And you still don't know if he had a 10% p2w godstone or not.
Anyway, reading Livo 's notes, I think it looks good. Wonder if we'll get a similar system. Definitely do not want a goldpack system.
This is pretty much a "remake" of Aion, so you get to play old Aion but made better. Something that Classic WoW needed so badly but the purists decided it was a bad idea.
