I remember grinding Aion for like 2 or 3 straight years since 3.0 until 4.5 or something. Had lots of fun but eventually the server kinda died and was barely active. 🙄

Ah, must have had full endgame gear. What server were you on? Retail servers seemed pretty active pretty consistently

I was playing on Europe, Telemachus back then.

Ye, in 3.x I pretty much had maxed out gear. Everything enchanted to max, combined mana stones. In 4.x I upgraded weapons, accessories.

There wasn't any challenge and playing friends left, there wasn't much PvP competition anymore, the most difficult dungeons became too easy and not challenging. 🙂
So it was time to quit.

Sad ending to a beautiful story. I think it's time I hang my boots too now. Nothing interesting going on

Same here, I quit playing when it became f2p.

Good choice. F2P ended up being P2W.

I only play on notaion (private pvp server) now

Surprised at the number of people that actually tried out aion. Dis yoh you like it?

I did! I probably overplayed the beta, so when it actually launched I was bored of the initial bits; but I did really like it :) I stopped when my friends slowly stopped playing.
