About four years back on the official servers, I had to come out as a transgender woman to my legion. That's when someone began turning the whole group against me because of who I am. It got so hostile that I had to leave the server, unable to play without receiving death threats at every step. This harassment even chased me to EuroAion. I was merely trying to join a DD Terath group, and here's what happened: Sorry for the French, but I can translate if needed. As I applied to join the group, my request was denied, and when I asked why, the reply was personal. When I questioned further if it was due to my transgender identity, they flat-out said yes and began misgendering me intentionally, claiming it's their right to be transphobic.
Experiences like this make me want a better gaming community, and that's why I'm genuinely excited about testing Aion Riftshade. It's launching Q1 2026, and so far, in the beta, I’ve found a welcoming community with no such toxicity. Here, the devs are active on Discord, and support is actually attentive. If anyone else feels alienated in these current servers, you might want to check it out. With its strong No P2W policy and incredible server-side anticheat systems, it's a refreshing new start I’m eagerly waiting for.
