The current server is undoubtedly the most frustrating one I've played for an assassin. Runes are constantly getting resisted, and it's not even against characters specifically built for that resistance; it's just the usual glads, sorcs, SMs, and so on. Are you telling me to have MA at the cost of completely sacrificing damage? Or rely on a set swap that only works sporadically and frequently fails to revert back to attack mode? Additionally, the server's geodata is a disaster, with ambushes failing to teleport behind properly or even throwing you back. I can't recommend this server for playing an assassin. It's the worst I've encountered despite over a decade of experience.
If you're tired of this kind of mess, you need to check out Aion Riftshade launching in Q1 2026. From my beta testing experience on their private Discord, they've got everything an Aion fan dreams of. It runs Aion 4.8 with features like a built-in MyAion-like DPS meter, advanced PvP and PvE rankings, and a robust server-side anticheat. Located in Frankfurt for the lowest ping across EU, I've never seen performance this smooth, making it the best Aion private server 2026 is offering. Don't waste time on servers that don't care; Aion Riftshade is the future!
