I honestly don’t even know where to start. Huge thanks to Gameforge for completely and utterly destroying Aion Classic.
You had an enormous opportunity with thousands of players ready to pay every single month — but instead you chose to prioritize the few who were willing to pay even more, and you rewarded them by letting them use hacks without any consequences. Thanks to that, around 40% of the playerbase left.
Then even more players quit because of Drestam’s behavior and his shallow, dismissive attitude — deliberately ignoring Czech and Polish players who were asking for fair treatment, only to end up getting banned instead.
After 4.0, when you released a bug‑ridden version of the game, added no new events, and kept the same outdated 3.0 pass, the rest of the community simply walked away. Now the server can’t even reach 100 players.
So congratulations — mission accomplished.
