AION: The tower of eternity

[Yaboze]

I have been hearing there were a lot of changes recently to Aion, can anyone summarize them? How is the levelling now? Is it still a major grind? How is the Gladiator and Ranger doing?

Did that patch go in with the new zones and swimming? What level are the new zones?

Thanks.

New patch coming soon (25th I believe) added lots of new features and also an updated graphics engine (requires 9800gt or ati 4850 min so don't get too excited)!

Someone hacked my account. It was banned. I wanted to play it for a month a while back but they said it will remained banned even though no IP in the US was used while it was hacked. I laughed at them and moved on.

NCSoft support is horrible. If somebody pays you with RMT money, you're screwed as well.

hehe you made me realize... could I ever live playing an mmo without an authenticator in todays world? I think this is something that should be demanded of MMOs these days, atleast an android/ios version.

In Europe for now. Inevitable I suppose, I haven't played in months either.
