But it still takes noticably longer in 1.x than it does in 2.0, and pretty sure that was the point of his post pretty much
THANK you! That was the whole point

the fact is you probably gathered to lvl 50 if it took you 6 months, ridiculous
On the early beginning the campaign quests didn´t give you 1 lvl UP as it was on later patches. You reached the lvl gab very fast because you run out of quests. Most of the players including myself had trash gear. Considering that it took a long time to grind on mobs. I don´t know when you joined NA Classic. But I´m 100% sure you dind´t play it from the beginning. I highly persume you joined a later patch where campaign quests gave more EP and more quests were added. If you join classic now, it´s definitely possible to lvl up a char to 50+ in under 2 weeks, playing casual only.
It's slower than later patches, sure... But still only takes <1 month. Yes we are talking about classic NA, same patch and same server that you took that long on. Again, you just leveled the wrong way if it took you 6 months at 6h a day of "Hardcore grind"
I played my casual 5-6 h a day, not hardcore grinding. I spent most of my time running instances / recruiting and leveling up professions like "alchemy / gathering eg." You´re right considering "hardcore grinding" 6h a day can take you far. But I was refering to "casual gameplay" like most people will do when classic comes out. I didn´t mean grinding on mobs for 6h straight.
Yes, so you didn't spend your time leveling.....no wonder it was so slow for you. You can go 45-50 in 2-3 days. and 38-45 in 2 days or so. By only doing repeatables in the abyss.
That´s true, Abyss Quests are the best way to bridge lvl gaps. I did that later on, because I didn´t want to skip the social part and professions. I was just sharing my information as a "casual gamer" because most of the people will not be "hardcore grinder". Therefore I wanted to provide them with my honest opinion, because I know so many will lose interest if it takes them too long to lvl up. So I still think 2.0 will be more EU friendly, because most players doesn´t want to skip the social part and still get ahead fast.

I stopped reading at 6 months to lvl 50...
I mean... I played casually (max 2h and not everyday) on NA just to test stuff for EU
and i reached lvl 48 within few weeks so ..dunno what u on about xD
Your ping must have been 3million? did it take 2 hours to auto attack?
Keep in mind I played the early 1.2 version directly when classic came out. Limited Quests, low EXP Rates from campaigns and overpopulated servers. I higly doubt you were playing from the early beginning. So stop the toxicness and check the facts first.

Time spent: 5-6h/day
Professions/gathering: 1h/day
Recruiting for instances: 30min -1h/day
Instances: (Kromede/Steel Rake/Adma) 2-3h /day
Questing/Grinding: 1-2h day on weekends more
Maybe you missunderstood me. I didn´t say I spent 5-6h "hardcore grinding" every day. I took place in social interactions / leveled up my professions and took the fastest questline routine. Considering all this it took us 5-6 months to reach the max lvl. If I spent all my savings in cocain and did "hardcore grinding" for 6h straight a day, then you´re right. In this case you will reach lvl 50 in under 1 month. But I highly doubt that´s what MOST players will do. So I try to warn the majority of "casual players" because I know they will loose interest fast, like it was is NA.

We are talking about the early 1.2 version.... Just playing casually should give you level 50 in little over a month.
Please consider that you will have limited quests and trash gear at the beginning. Solo grinding can take you super long with a ungeared char. The limited quests make it also impossible to level up without a level gab. You don´t have starter gear and if you skip no content (instances / gathering / professions ) I highly doubt you can reach level 50 in 1 month without spending the whole day in the game. Even the simple things like recruiting a group can take you up to 30 mins + sometimes. I´m also talking about NA Classic not 1.2 in general. Maybe you are refering to a privat server. But on NA the campaign quest on the early beginning, dind´t give much EP. After the 1.9 Patch the campaign quests gave you 1 LVL up each. So leveling up to 50 in 1 month was definitely achievable, without spending too much effort in the game.
No, im talking about NA....you just took the wrong route to 50, and thats fine, but dont say that leveling is slow because of 1.2, it was because of you
Sure mate, I hope to see a speed leveling video from you when classic 1.2 comes out. I must have missed this information the 12 years I play Aion. Also my friends who studied every guid and can name quests by memory
You win this conversation. I´m tired of laying out all the facts and people just ignore it. -

3 weeks seems impossible to me. Maybe if I had taken more extasy and cocain and played 24/7 it would have been faster. But because of the level gab and the low EXP rewards from campaign quest it takes you a long time to max lvl. Keep in mind I played the early 1.2 version where quests were limited and you wore trash gear, so grinding was very hardcore and took extremely long. Also you had to wait most of the times because quest mobs were killed by overpopulated servers. This changed after the 1st month were 80% of the playerbase left because they added P2W items to the cash shop. Still I don´t think I did something wrong
This is my honest opinion. -
Before you vote please consider my honest opinion and concerns about the Aion Classic 1.2~1.9 so many voted for. I played Classic on NA and leveled up my Main to lvl 55, you should listen to my honest player experience first, before you vote!
L E V E L I N G
1. Siels Aura: If we get the same system then NA (which I higly believe) you will have to buy "Siels Aura" It´s a subscription similar to a gold packet which allows you to have no restrictions in the game. Restrictions are made in looting, gathering, AP and EP gain and also trading. If you don´t purchase Siels Aura you have -50% EP gain and 0 AP gain!! You also can´t gather or loot items (even quest items).
2. The 1.2 -1.9 patch requires "hardcore grinding" in order to level up your char to lvl 50 (max). You will reach a level gab because of the lack of quests. Me and my friends spent 5-6 month of casual gameplay including instances / gathering / professions / and questing to reach max. OC it is possible to reach max level in less time, however it will cost you lots of patience and preseverance. For people who like to play multiple classes like me, this will make it hard for you, because it requires a lot of time to even level up one char! And I´m affraight most people won´t like that part.
3. In the 2.0 Patch the developers added more repeatable and side quests. You will also obtain a lot more EP by the campaign quests. This will make leveling more efficient and you won´t have as much level gabs than in the 1.2-1.9 patch, where the only way to level up is by grinding on elite mobs and doing Abyss rep. quests.
4. Overall the 2.0 Patch is more EU friendly and allows you to level up faster. Instead of spending months to level up to max you will need less time. You will also have the chance to experience the full content of 1.2 - 1.9. The only noticable difference is, you will feel more rewarded for what you are doing. I can´t imagine people enjoying doing the same quest 200x times in order to level up by 1 lvl.

1. Farming kinah in the 1.2 - 1.9 Patch will be more difficult than in the 2.0 Patch. In the early game this will be your worst enemy, because you can´t even afford skill-books most of the time! The only way to make kinah fast is by dropping valuable items like stigmas / godstones / gear in the open world or leveling up professions like Alchemy and sell scrolls/pots/foot via broker. The 2.0 Patch includes more Kinah rewards by completing quests which will help you in the early game to buy all your skills.
2. The 2.0 Patch contains more instances like "Udas Temple / Lower Udas Temple" in which you can farm kinah and good EP by killing elite mobs. Those mobs drop valuable items which you can sell to an NPC for a good amount of kinah. I made 6-15kk Kinah / day only by running solo instances and selling drops.
P V E - G E A R
1. The 2.0 Patch contains the "Arena Reward System". Therefore you can get decent ancient gear by taking part in the daily arena once you reached lvl 46. The gear allows you to enjoy a more balanced gameplay and helps you to run high lvl instances with less trouble. The 1.2-1.9 doesn´t provide this feature, therefore you will run around with "trash gear" a long time! This will also make it super difficult for you to run instances.
A B Y S S - G E A R / S T I G M A S
1. In the 1.2-1.9 Patch there are no "DREDS" nor instances like "Tiak Research Lab" in which you can obtain tons of AP. The only way to obtain AP is by PVP / Rifting and killing mobs in the Abyss, also taking place in the fortress battle. In order to buy a full stigma build you can choose between 2 Stigma trees. Those Stigmas are pricy af! For example a greater stigma build will cost you more than 230k AP. A fortress mobs will give you 50 AP. You will need to kill 4.600 fortress mobs in order to collect enough AP to buy a greater Stigma build. It´s insane, believe me!!!!!!
2. The 2.0 Patch provides more dungeons and better AP rewards. You can take place in more fortress battles and gather AP more easily. It´s still a long way to be maxed out, but you can enjoy playing with a full stigma build faster.
3. Before you even think about Abyss gear you need to buy stigmas first. Please consider that the population on every server will be very high at the beginning. This will make it impossible to grind efficently on fortress mobs (fastest way to get AP). You will get interrupted by the opponent or even same fraction all the time. That´s why I definitely don´t reccomend the 1.2 - 1.9 Patch - unless you want to quit your job and reallife completely in order to get ahead in the game fast.
O V E R A L L - O P I N I O N
I highly recommend voting for the 2.0 Patch. You will be able to enjoy all the previous content and also have the chance to gear and level up faster. Keep in mind that a lot of gear from the 1.2 - 1.9 Patch will be outdated in the 2.0 Patch because better gear was added. So your efforts will be for nothing later on, if you want to start with 1.2. In the 2.0 Patch you will feel more rewarded for the time you spent in the game, everything will be more efficient and you will be able to enjoy the endgame a lot faster. Also there is more content and instances, which makes the gameplay more versatile.
