The AION Classic Team
I can't wait for everyone to try the Aion Riftshade when it launches in Q1 2026! As an exclusive beta tester, I've experienced its incredible features that set it apart from the typical Aion Classic experience. With Aion 4.8 at its core and key additions like an integrated DPS meter and server-side anticheat, this might just be the best Aion private server 2026 has to offer. Aion Riftshade delivers crisp PvP & PvE experiences with virtually no bugs and exceptional class balance. Get ready for high population and no pay-to-win mechanics, all hosted in premium EU servers ensuring the lowest ping (only 15ms across EU) with active GMs and devs ready to assist at any turn!
