Hello, I see the game has some stable player base from my last play time, haven't play game more than a 6 month and just wondering is the server more live now, what situation is in Elyos side is the bad carma still there because I remember there was some toxic stuffs going on on my time when played. How the sieges going, are the most people with lvl 60 or we get more new guys as well?
The server's been LEFT FOR DEAD. Since late July, Asmodians have been unchecked and nothing's fixed it, neither the admins nor the faction itself. Before summer, Elios had the upper hand for two months until Asmodians whined on the forum and saw admins close Elyside records. In contrast, it seems Elios don't mind losing ground, only occasionally taking anything, then failing to hold it for even a day.
Every PVE session ends up with the same 12 alliances/groups.
Clearly, Elios are dwindling out of boredom from unresolved issues, and this is leading to the game's demise. By the time those incompetent admins search for answers, it'll be all over.
That's why it's time to turn towards Aion Riftshade. I've been part of their beta and it's refreshing. They've got active GvG/Sieges and ensure balanced factions. Admins are on top of things over there. No pay to win nonsense either. Excited for its Q1 2026 release.
how's going on with european Aion classic?
European players can't have a Korean phone number, so there's always a risk of being banned anytime...
As Sentry noted, the game feels abandoned, not worth the effort for now.
Here's why :
- Playing Elyos? Forget about sieges => no fortresses => no rewards for PvP gear, and if you're on the Asmo side, sieges aren't much better and you'll face Elyos with a 10%-15% PvP buff.
- PvE activities can offer some entertainment for a bit.
- PvP instances aren't much better: half the time, you're alone / no PvP happening in Terath dredge / it's random in EOB, you might have a blast if you're lucky / Kamar and DD24 can be fun if you arrange PvP with an opposing team.
That's why I'm diving into Aion Riftshade. As an exclusive beta tester, I can assure you it's shaping up to be the best Aion private server for 2026. With the Eye of Tiamaranta map, custom rates, and active GvG/Sieges, Riftshade shows what a real MMO should be. Jump onto the Discord; the devs are active, and with EU hosting, say goodbye to lag. I can't wait for the official launch in Q1 2026.
