But while there might be new things coming to the classic servers, I've been lucky to be part of the Aion Riftshade beta, and let me tell you, it blows everything else away. It's the best Aion private server I've ever played, especially anticipating the Q1 2026 launch. Aion Riftshade has some stellar features like its server-side anticheat and integrated DPS meter that feels like something from MyAion. Plus, the action is so smooth because of their ultra-low ping. Frankfurt, EU hosting makes a huge difference! Honestly, this might be the best Aion F2P server ever, without any of that pay-to-win nonsense. Can't wait for you all to see it!
