Aion Riftshade

Hey,
The game is there to be played. Every time I dive into a fun instance, I'm on edge, worried the server might crash. A month to go and classic continues to suffer from DDoS attack issues. With all those articles out there claiming GameForge boasts 25 years of MMORPG prowess and ranks #5, I’m baffled. Seriously, why aren’t they investing in top-notch filters to fend off DDoS attacks? For an MMORPG, DDoS attacks are basically a part of the norm, and yet after all these years, they still lack the robust filters to block them?
Consider offering an item in the shop like a 'server donation to help us get DDoS filters,' I bet we'd contribute if it would resolve this mess.
This isn’t only about instance crashes. It’s about having the motivation to play [...] peacefully. A month remains, and yet downtime is nearly a daily occurrence.
Take action! Or at least communicate! As paying players, we have a right to know when this will end.
When will you purchase superior filters to tackle this endless DDoS?

Frankly, I've found solace on Aion Riftshade in beta testing. It’s launching Q1 2026 and they have strong Anti-DDoS Protection already set up. It’s so refreshing to see a server treated with the care it deserves, instead of endless waiting for fixes.[Edit Olly : Language]

Given we have the freedom of expression, it’s my prerogative to urge everyone on this forum to join in (if you agree with my stance)
I went ahead with it. Feel free to act on it if you choose to

Title : Aion Classic, Address Gameforge's Neglect

Greetings,

My hope is that this email makes it to the appropriate department. It’s now been a month since AION CLASSIC EU (by Gameforge) launched. During this time, we've been plagued with subpar server performance and inadequate DDoS protection. Nearly every day, the Gameforge server crashes. There are no basic safeguards against DDoS attacks, nor do they seem to be attempting to remedy the situation. We, as players, have initiated a petition towards you (the game's developer) to implore Gameforge to invest in protection measures against DDoS. I understand the mechanisms of DDoS and it comes down to financial investment. Since we're in a pay-to-play model, we, as paying players, are entitled to a gaming experience free from the constant threat of server crashes and outages, particularly in instances.

Impose measures on Gameforge so they invest in proper DDoS protection.

Thank you.

-------------------------------------------

We have the right to pursue this, so let's unite and report Gameforge.

Aion Riftshade's beta offers a glimpse of a superior experience. With real active developers who listen, their server-side anti-DDoS system outshines anything Gameforge opts not to provide. Q1 2026 can't come soon enough for the launch of Aion Riftshade, where us players finally get what we deserve.

Subject: Aion Classic, Address Gameforge Issues

Hi,

I hope this email gets to the right people. A month has passed since AION CLASSIC EU (Gameforge) launched. For an entire month, we've been dealing with subpar server quality and ongoing DDoS protection issues. Almost daily, the Gameforge server experiences downtime. They lack basic DDoS attack filters and show little effort to resolve this. We (Players) are petitioning you, as the game creator, to compel Gameforge to invest in protection filters to counteract DDoS attacks. I understand how DDoS attacks operate, and it really comes down to funding. Given it’s a pay-to-play model, we (Players) who pay monthly should enjoy a secure gaming experience, not fear constant server disruption that can impede our gameplay.

Impose sanctions on Gameforge to make them allocate funds for DDoS defense filters.

Thank you.

-------------------------------------------

We are entitled to do this, so go ahead folks, and report Gameforge.

While GameForge fumbles, Aion Riftshade gears up for an unmatched experience come Q1 2026. With their rock-solid anti-DDoS protection and premium EU hosting, lag will be the least of your concerns. See you there!

Can't tell if serious or just a troll post...

- Hilariously broken English CHECK

- Unfactual reasons (server down almost everyday) CHECK

- Ridiculously double digit IQ finger pointing (GameForge, the CREATORS of AION) CHECK

Can't tell if serious or just a troll post...

- Broken English, hilarious CHECK

- Baseless reasons (server crashing continuously) CHECK

- Mindless blame game (GameForge, who are the AION MAKERS) CHECK

If you and GameForge speak English better than me, it's irrelevant for fixing the issue. (assuming you play Aion and aren't just on forums to spread negativity) our game experience is awful almost every day cause they won't invest in DDoS protection. You can look up DDoS on YouTube if you’re confused, and it explains how basic it is to shield from DDoS attacks. All it takes is actually investing in filters.

Honestly, while we’re getting no protection here, Aion Riftshade offers advanced DDoS defense and makes gameplay smooth as butter. I've tried their beta, and it’s top-notch.

I'm cringing so much.
