I think this is the end for NA Classic unless they do a full rollback.

Pretty hard to do that, tracking items that were traded, or disenchanted and the stones used to enchant other items, or sold for kinah etc, there's no way go back than a full rollback.

For 2-3 hours you could see 1 sw/taha/padma eternal drop every 2-3 seconds, server is done for if they don't rollback. I haven't seen a nyerkup this big in 14 years of Aion, even remotely close, this was crazy.

Server is dead and 90% of the characters are bots, no point.

Obviously they aren't, if you are a business and 80% of your income is from bots, are you going to get rid of those customers?

Well what's the point, most people playing at the moment are new with no gear and somehow the opposing team is always generals/commanders. Then in chaos arena you get even 4-5 people teaming up.

yes no complete silence.

There are more bots than actual players, and these bot accounts all pay for Siel subscription, you can figure out the rest.

What makes you think this server will still be alive 3-4 weeks post EU launch?

Isn't it obvious? these events are to sell the Premium on Event Pass.

After 6 weeks in NA classic, I must say like 80% of the people I've met around are from EU and just waiting for their release to move, already dead server will be .. idk, RIP^2, NC's management of Classic has killed it.

If they would ban the bots.. 80% of Siel's revenue is gone overnight, bots pay for that, so obviously NC is not gonna ban then, money talks.

The fact is the staff have no clue about the game, much less about the changes it went through since the 2009 launch. As a test I made a ticket asking if it was allowed to access the safe zone near the city, the reply was that it is because it was necessary in order to capture the fortresses.. yeah ok. They must have a few guidelines to follow and basic concepts and rules about the game and go from there, without actually understanding what you are talking about. They probably do ~support for the few NCWest published games, not just Aion. This is what you get from a milky leecher westernized publisher and underpaid support staff with minimal training and resources, nobody cares or gives 2 f. about running this game properly.

Yep, imagine a new player coming back wanting to play cleric, after they need an obscene amount of kinah for basic skillbooks and SS, finding out it's impossible to play properly as they are locked out from stigmas that sell in broker for 30-50KK each.

They actually fixed the terrain glitch in a patch, but I guess it's not included here yet. Personally I don't care, just stating out some facts.

Around 50 people each side and 500 bots, then 50% of that when EU classic is launched.

This should clear any doubts (from 2010 though, maybe NCsoft doesn't care now on classic)

Is it?

This has stopped me from making a cleric. Sage's Wisdom and puri. are 30-50KK each. Curse of roots 20-30KK also. Doom lure 10kk.

Do you play the game? kinah sellers are going on all day, every day, I block them all and new ones pop and spam for days unless I block them. Bots are everywhere, hoardes of them, go to Inggi farm and you will see them. They kept killing my quest mobs also. Even in Sanctum you can see them at the bind NPC reorganizing. If kinah and drop % have been increased.. can't even imagine how it was before. Leveling a toon from scratch IS tough, you can't pay for SS, pots, scrolls, skills cost a fortune compared to what you make, and let's not talk about important stigmas being sold for a fortune because drop rate is so low there is no supply. Have fun playing a cleric and needing 100KK just for 2 basic, really important stigmas. The only kinah circulating comes from BT HM sell runs and people paying for it from kinah-sellers farmed money. Why do we have to pay for (DOUBLE) subscription and still have really poor droprates and P2W? Back in 2009-2010 we paid for a sub and the game was perfect, none of this crap, that was our golden era until p2w arrived and ruined everything.

They are different companies, so 100% impossible. But either way, new fresh server would not allow you to transfer existing characters.

Well this is stupid. Started here 2 weeks ago to relive some of the old memories of this game we loved so much, paid for Siel's Aura but game is still p2w. They want us to pay for a double subscription and still keep the game like p2w rubbish. Overpriced cosmetics. Million bots and kinah sellers (so hard to hire 1 person to get rid of that?) drop rates and kinah drops are ridiculous. Gonna end my siel aura and bye.

So what happened with this? 2023..

1.5 years later (13 since release, since this has been present since day 1), classic full of bots everywhere, very easy to spot, pre-defined paths, mostly gladis and using herb treatment. Are you guys so broke you can't hire 1 more person to your staff to monitor this directly in-game and act appropriately?
