After 2 years in the European and North American market(3 years since the Asian release) with a subscription model, it is now going to use a mix of both free-to-play and subscription.
There will be 3 payment models now:
- Starter: this one is the most basic with limited amount of character slots, chat, trading.
- Veteran: basic for old players and upgradable for Starter players, they can play the regular game with no limitations.
- Gold: this is the subscription model which gives significantly lower instance cooldowns, several xp and reward bonus.
Hopefully this change will bring to this game what any MMO needs to have... a larger player-base.
Have you played Aion in the past? Will this change make you try it again?

I've never even heard of Aion
GReat news!
I've never played Aion - but then again, I rarely play any game at all. Gotta start soon though >.>
I haven't played Aion either, but reading about this systems makes me sick: how can you pay for having easier gameplay - more XP, easier fights, etc.? It just ruins a very important point of MMO gaming: fun from competition between players.
Great! I have an old toon, 34 Sorcerer on their. This might make me go back!
Sounds cool ! Will have to check this out when I have the time
