Well this wouldn't be a problem, if you had the alternative of getting those same items through playing the game. I wouldn't care in that case if rich and lazy people buy them. Unfortunately it's not the case.

Anyone expecting European classic in 2021 is very delusional tbh
Not expecting classic in 2021 is delusional,7.8 will be released very soon, 7.9 in a few months, after that we will have caught up with korea, and there is still no sign of 8.0 whatsoever, so they will have to release classic if they wanna make money.

Hello dear gameforge stuff!
You see, I was wondering! Since you've been in touch with ncsoft KR lately, regarding the whole classic situation, I was thinking if you could maybe discuss all these lovely dances we were never allowed to have in EU, being added in classic? Lmao! Just a random thought! Those emotes are simply too good!They would need to pay the license since they are copyrighted music and the contract only holds with korea.

Insufficient download speed creates high ping, not low fps. (I know what i'm talking about, since i was playing aion with a very limited internet back in 2009, I didn't have worse fps than the others, my game was just 10s+ in the past since it was trying to catch up and download every player information)
Low fps is due to extremely poor client optimization with a lot of memory leaks and an old game engine that doesn't support multithreading.
Nothing that you can do to make it much better, as other people suggested already, having the best single core perf is better for aion, but it doesn't mean your game will be smooth during siege, especially in prades which is by far the worst one.

Technique its because of these ideologies that we are in the *** right now.
so it would be better if we have not that kind of shop, so that ppl who don´t have that much time, have to stay behind ppl with much time?
Yes, would make sense. So the community would be a lot smaller.As long as the people who cash can just "keep up" with those who tryhard i'm fine with it.
It starts being a problem from the moment the shop gives you things you cannot get in a reasonable amount of time and cashers gets so far ahead that people that are willing to farm everything cannot even hope to keep up anymore (kinda like the current patch).
No one is interested in another rng+wallet size comparison like the current patch is.

Anyway if we compare the classic and the live server i think the p2w of classic are far from reaching the p2w to the live server. (it's my personal opinion)
It's comparing P2W to more P2W. It's both terrible.
It will change the game from day 1.
If you believe they will release it with only subscription and nothing else you're delusional. We're talking about a company that only does freemium games.
But if it stays at that level atleast you can easily manage to compete at the top even without spending (outside of your own subscription).

Thanks for the nerf to ice cube event. Daeva essence from cube lv8. Go ahead, u doing great.
They needed to dilute the rewards since it's too easy to get lv 8... Oh wait.

People always crying with "the game is dead omg
" while still playing it 12h per day, and then, when someone asks if it's interesting to come on the game, their anwser is no.Don't know what is the most illogical and funny between gameforge's acts or players like that
You can play a game but still not recommend it. I don't see how that is illogical.
If you can be objective and put yourself in the shoes of the guy asking, knowing what you know, would you start playing again from 0 with no form no cubes no S-minions no improved stigmas and daevanions, no VR... I wouldn't.
And these past few months, gameforge didn't really make anything to listen to the playerbase and make the game less random (even the opposite), so I don't see why we should help promote their game by lying to the people who might be interested in it.

@Galeas why don't GF just put everything on shop ultimate transforms best ultimate pvp weapons, best ultimate pve weapons, best everything etc etc etc.
As to me this is all GF is thinking about they are not thinking about the player base at all its money money money and more money.
be done with it just put it all on the shop as this game is done and I think most players would agree, and it is only GF that's made it that way.
It's all on the shop, except its behind layers upon layers of rng, which makes it even worse because f2p players feels wronged, and the unlucky cashers as well. Atleast if it had a price tag we could consider it and chose whether or not we want to pay a definite amount to play in the best conditions.
But no, just gamble your money instead
2019 GF: "We try to decrease rng"
2020 GF: -increase rng every week

I mean, if they do get it, it shouldnt take 6 months for a release, just throw in the translation thats already there, add/remove a few lines and pop it online. Its quite possible ncsoft gave the go-ahead already and theyre making the patched english version already. In which case we can expect it in a month or two
We're talking about gameforge, they need months to discuss whether or not they wanna remove the downgrade from transformations fusion.
Thinking we'll get classic in a month or two is delusional.
-
Maybe in 3months they will tell us whether or not we will have classic server (then a few months again till we have it), and that's very generous estimate considering gameforge is always extremely slow to react.

We have dpsmeters.
Who will decide if the guy use cheat or not? As GF claim those programmes are not accurate and not a proof. Are you going to make any committee and vote from 1 to 10? [...]
Edit by Isobel : Discussing about moderation case
DPsmeter will show if someone use noani or not, you don't need to vote for it or rely on a subjective opinion.
Those programs are accurate they have been tested a lot, and false positives are extremely rare and easy to spot because they usually concern one specific skill.

Insult/censure to Gameforge

As for language servers, they need to see how many German/french players really want one. Unless the demand for classic is really really big among those communities, having one fr and one ger server is a bad idea.
Even if a lot of German and French want a classic version, it would be better to have only international servers.
Better have only international servers than empty servers with the language you speak.
That's the point, if the demand is big enough to fill a server to the brim, why not, otherwise better keep only international servers

Display MoreThere are tons of reasons for people to switch back from p-servers to classic when it comes out (if the version suits them obviously): it's official, it feels way more authentic, you are more likely to meet more people but also friends that could come back for a while, there should be a way bigger playerbase overall, with everyone starting again at the same time, etc. And, let's imagine, if a small p-server sees its playerbase divided by two, then the rest will follow.
Now of course it might have less impact on other p-servers with a completely different version (let's say 4.6 hum), but still.
And this is also the only interesting way for GF to actually take back the playerbase that moved to those P-servers, because we perfectly know that they cannot kill every one of those servers with just a snap.
Now about the impact on Live servers. I strongly believe there is no such thing as "new players" anymore, so classic or not, the playerbase will eventually become smaller and smaller anyway, untill it just dies, it's unavoidable. Especially knowing that 7.9 (the only future version we know of) has only started to point its nose in Korea, with potentially a recycled Pangea of some sort, so NC is even slower and even more lazy "working" on Live content, so much that we might never get an 8.0.
I guess there are still people enjoying Live, but most of them must be already on the train with gear and content and P2W and etc. Everyone that is somewhat late in terms of progression will probably quit and try out classic, because there is no middle ground at all, you're either fully geared or you get destroyed without standing a chance.
If the trend is the same as it is in Korea, and we have reasons to believe it is, Classic will work, no doubt, but for how long? That we can't tell. And there are lots of key questions Gameforge needs to answer: like will they chose language based servers (which I think would be a major mistake, but it's only my opinion and I can totally understand people not willing or not able to speak with other communities that don't speak the same language).
Anyway, we know it's in the pipes, and it will probably happen, unless Classic Korea just fails and is deserted after a few weeks, which is still to be considered.
Completely agree with that. And the best argument in favor of classic is the fact that the game will evolve through patches from 1.2 to 2.7 (and maybe more if the playerbase is still there when they reach 2.7), so more content unlike some 4.6 server forever stuck in time on a single patch.
As for language servers, they need to see how many German/french players really want one. Unless the demand for classic is really really big among those communities, having one fr and one ger server is a bad idea.

Alright, if simplifying the classes to be able to be played by 2 year old kids is what made the game more enjoyable for you, have it your way.
When the few arguments are gone, only the flames are left, sad......
Wdym gone? its just plain simple truth, the 6.0 as a whole (not only class skills) is a simplification as an attempt to seduce a younger audience as an opposite to the veterans who appreciate the complexities of the game.
The classes have never even been nearly as braindead as they are since 6.0, and obviously, when you can't make a huge difference with skill, then only the difference with p2w/rng/class matchup is left.
Again, the majority of the players who would play on classic are not people who play on the current live version. Some do (like me), but it's a minority.

Display MoreIt's about preferences I guess. I've played both sin and glad pre transformations and after and the classes got 100x more fun with max atkspeed and lower cds/shorter durations.
For me, yeah it was a QoL improvement. As was for many, as I rmmber, everyone started playing gladi back in 6.0 cuz it was so damn fun. These 5min/10min cd limitations may add some strategy to arenas but are in no way more fun for the playability of classes, at least imo.
I'd argue about ur strategy point also as things like "qq u used 10min cd buff to win noob" or "qq i lost arena cuz i died and lost UD at start" is smting Ive heard way too many times.
Idk man, Aion 6.0+ class playability was sooo damn good for me, but everything else went downhill due to p2win forms and heck, even pve died out due to p2win cubes.
This game would still be blooming after 6.0 if content and "longterm goals" were done right
Alright, if simplifying the classes to be able to be played by 2 year old kids is what made the game more enjoyable for you, have it your way. The majority of pvp players disagree with that tho.
-
Not sure people understand this but, many many players haven't played Aion for years.
Those people want to play Ain Classic.
No. People who haven´t played AION for years are done with AION at all, classic server or not. They already play other games the last years or they have quitted playing computer games at all. There will sure be some people who have quitted AION for years and come back to classic server, but they wll be te minority......
The popularity of p------ servers says the opposite tho
There is a real demand for a classic aion.

Don't expect anything from 8.0, it's just gonna be the same old recycled content with added casino mechanics, nothing less, nothing more.
KR 7.x servers have 5k players at peak hour all servers combined, they won't invest money into developping new content, they will just milk whoever is still playing and willing to keep spending and move on. Classic is the last hope to have some fun for a few years before it dies.
