28.10.2020 on Korea - Classic Server Discussions

    a little update about classic server on community feedback.


    We are still in discussion with NC. Opening a classic server at the moment would look more like running a new game than just opening a server. The process is rather slow because of that reason and at this point we still have no guarantee that the project will happen. Technical requirements and changes are currently the main point of discussion.

    Translation:


    We expected to only pay a server fee for classic, but NC wants to charges us a full game license fee and we are disagreing.

    In case, we are looking at how can we make it able to milk any whale so it is worth paying the game fee.


    </sarcasm>

    That is not the case. The problems are the technical requirements. But at this point, we might still find a solution.

    O_O


    Was a joke.


    Retranslation :

    We thought adding a new server was enough to, but NC told us we need to deploy a full new game network. Since we lost one of our data center (hosted by OVH), we have no room.

    We wait for them reconnecting it online, which might not happen since OVH may have messed our servers.


    </another joke>

    It would be really great when you would be able to find solution because as you probably know hype is real and there is a huge interest of MMORPG players in the west to play Aion Classic in our region. If you manage to release it here in EU it will be very popular and many players will play it since other new upcoming MMORPGs are either late or delayed. On the other hand normal servers of Aion world wide (EU included) are not in good situation and they dont have good perspective for future at all... so, Aion Classic is the only way forward and GF would also benefit from that release same as the whole MMORPG gaming community and us players... its a win/win situation if you manage t0 release it so keep trying to find that solutions and gl, Galeas ! I have no doubt, you will make it! And dont wait to long with release because I know it cant be that fast but still, timing is important.

    CM don't get jokes :D or maybe it's just me, I'm broken :/

    I support and acknowledge that.

    Time is not relative in online mmorpg games.
    Even if some here do not hope that there will be a Classic Aion.

    A poll would say a lot more.

    (even if only 10% of the player base are represented here in the forum).

    It's not about a bug or something that we don't know how to fix. The age of the game or the company are not involved either. As I said it's about the technical aspect of the classic server that is rather challenging.

    Thanks for specifying.:applaus:
    Many here think that it has something to do with the payment model more than a

    technical aspect.:tea:

    looking for company whitout technical problems in a game of 13 years please

    if it isnt a bug or an error, nor the age of the game, what kind of technical error can it be?

    anyway, knowing that the issue is being studied is rather comforting.

    Quote from Galeas

    No it doesn't mean that, the model is not the problem here. We are talking about technical requirements.

    Question maybe you know the answer but if a classic server come at europe will be Ftp or p2p ? Because I think that people who want a classic server between 1.x and 2.x want it to be p2p and not f2p and it would also put an end to this debate.

    Man, how sad is it that it's a general opinion that current retail Aion has no future... And all it would take is to give us a chance to get ulti transformation by just playing and removing a few RNGs here or there. Not even a radical change, just literally ~5 changes and people would be pretty satisfied with the game.


    But we have to milk the cows some way or another

    you had these technical requirements when you started to run aion from when you took over from NCsoft, so why you cant deal with the technical requirements now?


    you got a server you just taken offline the EAS why not test it on that see how many players will play it.


    Or are the technical requirements that Gf cant milk the players in the case shop so its not worth GF time and the players can go take a run?
