Quote of Aion's Producer Letter: Next Aion Update

I know you have all been waiting with bated breath for information on the next game update. While I can’t give you a lot of details, I can tell you a couple of things that we are addressing in upcoming game updates. We’ve listened to your feedback and have been working diligently with the Korean development team, and we are proud to say that over the next few updates (the first of which will be coming in Q2 this year) we will address some of your major concerns: a desire for more content at lower levels, increased rewards for quests, and improved drop rates. Even though we aren’t always talking publicly about the next update, we are always listening and integrating feedback into the next update. As part of that, we’re trying to coordinate and deliver on what we say even before we say something. Our goal with update communications is to not only be transparent with you, but also give you a reason to trust us when we talk about updates so that you know we will deliver on what we share with you.

This year in Aion, you will notice that we are implementing a lot of the suggestions you’ve sent us about the game services we offer. We’re also planning on providing you more services and increased interaction with our team. We recently introduced exciting paid services (name change, Legion name change, character customization, and gender change), and we will be adding more services throughout the year aimed at improving your experience. (Yes, server transfers are coming!)

We also recognize that our in-game events have been disappointing to you, and we aim to fix that. Along with the introduction of double XP weekends (as experienced during the Christmas holiday), we started offering scheduled server-wide events players could enjoy on a more regular basis. In the future, look for us to add new events like reduced Kinah soul-healing weekends. (Yes, that’s what you think it is—cheap soul healing for everyone!)
