This game will always have a place in my heart.
Some noname aion private server was the first time I've experienced a friend log off and never log in again.
Same.
Forever traumatized by that cursed lag spike just before red dots show up on the compas.
Indeed. If there's spiked Lag. Look at the Map. 😂😂
Really miss this game considering you were able to play with so many of the same people and learned their play skill and easily able to keep in touch, something that MMO's seem to struggle with now. Played this game from release to 2016 and really enjoyed it. I would play it in a second, being older, I just can't bring myself to spend like I did to keep up with end game pvp and pve content, good times though.
Ahh, this game... Gave me so many happy memories with my college friends. Games before gave so much happy memories because we don't only play the game but we live and love with it. We even dream with it when we sleep. The excitement of looking forward for tomorrow to play the game with your friends is just amazing. But now it's different. It's fast paced. It's mobile. People move on with their lives. Now I'm a sad adult, stuck in responsibilities, bills and broken relationships.
i first found your channel in 2010 i was already playing aion but you gave me so many hints and tips of what to do and for that i thank you it was sad when the game declined and every vid i saw you lose a little bit more of the love for the game but i'm glad you came back and did this i tried the FREE lol which is NOT free and i'm done back to lost ark for me but the nostalgia took me back to simpler times which was worth the 10 hours i spent in the game .
i see aion i see sywo i click
Same
same
He's a g i missed his aion videos and the dps checks for characters was my fav videos of his
i've been following you since early Aion days... since I don't wanna look at Lost ark anymore, this video was a pleasant surprise!
The long farm to the 50th level, the dredgions, late night ig talks on mumble, dark poeta, the balaurea extension... such good memories, I wish I will find some time to rediscover this epic game, thanks for this video !
Very good review! I agree that name of the game should be Aion Remastered, not Aion Classic but its a very good marketing move from NCSoft to name it Aion Classic since that name will attract much more players to the game. EU release was a big success, even I am surprised by number of players which officially is not revealed but max capacity on Atreia(which is full) is between 15k and 20k players plus at least 10k players on Tahabata, so 25-30k players is really good for release. Overall game feels amazing under the fingers and at this moment while we wait for some other big releases later during 2023 its a really good option to play for people who like to play real PC MMORPGs. P2W is low, hype is high, thats all we need for now. Nice to see you in the game, man! Its a shame you where not there with us in prerelease events and preparations, but we will see each other in game!
This! 100% accurate
questions about a couple of things that the video didnt talk about, hope some could answer:
How does it compare to the "normal" latest/current version of AION? Are there pros and cons between them or is classic just straight up better?
Graphics wise is it the same as it was in 3.0 (it really was a looker back then) or have they improved it any?
Is it using the same graphics engine as the "normal" AION?
Lastly which version of the original AION is the classic meant to be?
@@kiriup8188 , Classic is much less P2W then Aion Live, also without many new in-game features which have made Aion Live to complex. Aion Classic is the basic, starting and the best version of the game. Classic is just strait up better! Regarding graphics, game engine is still the same like Aion Live, but graphics are better then in the past, remastered! Last question... version of the game? None! Aion Classic is not reboot of the game, the name of the game should be Aion Remastered because it only starts with version 1.2 (1.9 in EU) but there is no end with new patches and updates incoming and NCSoft is already now on update 2.8 in Korea with new class, dungeons and other content never before seen in world of Aion... so, Aion Classic actually is not Aion Classic. name was given because of marketing benefits. Some similarities do exist with older patches and we are getting old maps and features but changed a lot. Aion Classic in KR is a big success and its earing money to NCSoft so we will see many new patches and updates there and here in EU version of the game officially supported by NCSoft.
Wohoo, Sywo vids! Keep up the amazing work. love all you do!
Played Aion at the start, gave up when Gameforge took over and the game went free to play.
Great points. Especially with the fact that they should hold for this patch for longer, to give casual players a space to breathe, rather than try to please top players.
Glad to have you around man!
Glad to see you are enjoying it, Sywo. Nice to see Gameforge learned from mistakes of NA version with those candy. I enjoying it so far.
No surprise to me, I knew you first from Aion. I was curious about what they did with Aion. I joined it when it first went free to play in the UK. Some of the areas are beautiful to look at. I stopped playing when it went to Aion 6, just before that it had got crazy and the game put such a strain on systems with crashes occuring so many times it was becoming unplayable and the pvp got too much. Think I may give this another try, broke my heart to leave it after all the years of work I had put into it.
AION was my first mmo, it was the best game and best time I have evewr had. nostalgia !
Wooowwww a aion video from Sywo ! thanks for sharing input :)
*nostalgia hits hard* I played when it first came out. on an off. it was my first MMO ever and I love all my Asmodian characters (deleted the Elyos ones xD) will definitely check classic out.
Aion classic worth playing just to reliving the best pvp ever created to this date.
Best PvP? you dont know what real PvP is, Guild Wars 1 had real PvP, Aion had aionscript (hacks), a game with hacks is not the best...
I totally agree I played so many mmos and Aion by far had the best pvp system
if they removed rng yes but with all this rng nop ! even though it s the best in term of dynamic ye
@@AparatorulPoporului I dont? I was top tier pvp there, Top tier pvp in Lost ark (Top 1 and top 2 on my region, highest mmr sharpshooter in the world) Top tier aion pvp. You can check all that on my channel ;)
@@GameMasterBra With hacks everyone can be „ TOP ” tier. U must be a gipsy kid.
Seeing you "back home" even for a single video brings a tear to my eyes :)
I love it , level 100 on weaponsmith and armorsmith and lvl 20 templar lvl 14 rogue and lvl 14 sorc
Thank you for this
Nice to see yuo back in Aion
I love to watch your video back then :D
i don't change this game with anything, it feels good!
Thoroughly enjoyed this!! It's just that such a not so positive, criticising-ish provocative title, doesn't align very well with you emphatically recommending it at the end :D But I understand, there might be some negative bias towards the publishers/devs. Nonetheless Keep this up! Great to have you covering Aion content again!
Hello Sywo i made a templar but i eant play most with shield and sword,i know u are good templar so wich manastone for a templar with shield and sword? And best set?
i was playing the heck out of this game since day 1 until patch 4.0. when classic came, my old clan has called me but there is no way that i will waste my time on a grindfest game ever again, i will keep chilling in gw2
Sad to see they replicated the siel energy membership like na did which made me quit that and was hoping for a normal gameplay without regular gameplay restrictions but goodluck to those out there. Shoutout to greysmdl you're the homie if you see this ❤
Aion is still my best experience ever. By the way, good old times when I found your channel with guides on youtube, Sywo :)
What a memories, OMG... Being the first player around who gets the Fiora plant that can grow you unique wings and you have to water it, and the whole guild of people helping you to water it for 30 days and then finally getting those wings. Or take the PVP aspect of Aion. Never ever I've experienced anything like that.
I wanted to try it out as I never played it but after hearing about the paid membership I have very mixed feelings now lol
How to play this? I still have the metal case this game came in way back when it first released!
I knew it that u are there somewhere in the server, Knew it! :D
the og aion youtuber
I am so sad to miss the early patches of this Aion "classic" release. I played the OG patches 12-13 years ago, I was a broke teen playing with a terrible PC but still manage to have a ton of fun, even made a video. I feel the "more of now" sentiment, but I don't have nearly enough time to invest in the game as I did back then. My utopia would be retiring to an actual Aion classic server, you know with original rates and no cash shop.
ive leveled up to 10 and i was super dissapointed with that siels aura fiasco...
I agree, it was so unnecessary... I mean there s already a cash shop, a battle pass and they felt the need to add this shit, so sad...
@@psy4durezo i would have accepted it if they would have released it as a subscription model. But this? u download the game, play for an hour, and suddenly is not even worth to keep playing it. Thrash marketing.
Does our old account move over or do we have to start over ?
Finally we could do sieges with 20+fps since our hardware is much better now :D i remember doing sieges in 2009 with 5 fps looking at the ground
First off it was good bumping in to you again! Are you likely to play Classic again? I've been playing for a couple hours each evening since release and that's plenty for me.
-Jtz
Im trying to download aion for the past 2daysb but ncsof launcher wont open. Every time i click NCLauncher 2, it opens the loading mini window and then it closes without any reason.
I re-installed it and it does the same.
flash for 1 sec in the bar and disapear
Anyone knows what is the problem?
Aion will always have a place in my heart
I love good graphics so Aion is definitely not something I'd be playing but I like how people still play older games like this one. I tried getting into FFXIV but just couldn't due to its clunkiness and tabbed combat. After Lost Ark other games just felt bad until I found Last Epoch and Diablo 4. Can't wait for the latter one to come out.
Aion has very good graphics and artstyle even to this day
@@P07AT0 Yes i remember it was 1 of the best looking MMOs out there, if not the best. So can you tell me: does calssic look same as it was back then for example around v6.0 or have they improved it any?
Aion had THE best graphics out of any MMO when it came out. It was literally famous for it's good graphics.
i really miss the good old days playing with my bestfriends and staying late at night just playing.
A year later everything Sywo said in the video came true. Fortuneteller.
I never played aion back in the day but I'm going to give this game a chance :)
Can we still log in with our old accounts?! Would be cool, if it's possible, to give this thing a shot.
Man... It's been... years.
Will check it out I guess
Aw man, so good memories with aion. The best PVP. the best sieges. Damn aion is so good.. and is so sad the current state of the game.
Thats true. But classic seems good.
@@vinniebosch Im curious can you tell me how classic compares to the "normal" latest version of AION? Are there pros and cons between them or is clasic just better on all fronts?
@@kiriup8188 Classic is just better on all fronts. Much more active player base as well but only on the EU servers. Retail AION isn't really worth playing. They gutted retail AION a long time ago and classic basically brings back everything they removed
gameforce shit in every game like aion. 😢
I don't believe it Aion Online lol i started my channel 10 years ago cuz of this game i was obsessed with it i still have the videos on it ....
OMG what a flash back ....But a positive one ❤ i will never forget the Sages in the Abyss ahhh Good old Times.
can you try play aionod thats to classic to ?
is there any alive private server worth playing in AION??
Im playing for months now, so far Im enjoying the eu 😅population is great and always crowded
I was playing the OG Aion when I was a kid and re-discovered Aion when they removed 90% of the game to focus on PvP only.
I was already downloading Aion Classic and while I was waiting I found your video and it made me uninstall the game before trying it. I can't afford a monthly sub like that + battle pass right now, I'm looking for free braindead fun, and I guess I will stick with Guild Wars 2 for now, I bought that game years ago.
Makes me really sad
I'm having the exact same experience rn LOL
I played the original Aion too and I was hoping to have fun again with aion classic, guess it will always be a pay-to-win game... rip
I just wish they upgraded graphics. Everything else is nostalgic. but i want just a little bit of more modern style. Glad that new class in na doesnt look like the painter and that their animations are adapted to aion graphics
Aion was my life back in 2010... so much nostalgia here its actually kind of painful lol
Every year or so i check up a few videos on Aion and i always get emotional remembering the good old days, first computer, first online friends, first mmo, no financial woes, parents together, childhood bliss ...
Is he playing on NA classic?
Classic version, we started, and it's truly a shame how such a beautiful game can be ruined by such an incompetent company, considering we've seen how they managed to sink a game with the potential to be the best MMORPG in the world by far in 15 years, still plagued by the same issues from 15 years ago, with no improvements whatsoever!
This is not the real Aion Classic I played years ago. i kept playing aion since 1.5 until nowadays, and this version for me particularly, was good in the past, i feel that today's games need to be more dynamic, fast etc. for me it's definitely not the same experience I had years ago. and so i left classic and stayed in retail in hopes that ncsoft will make good changes in the future. the only cool thing i saw during my evolution in classic was the nostalgia, i reached lvl 50 and i couldn't continue playing, the funny thing is that in the past for me this was amazing but now i prefer the gameplay speed that retail has.
Is the NA version more 'classic'?
I MISS Ragnarok ONLINE so friggen much man... it was such an incredible gem =(
Time to download a game
aion classi 2.7 comes with new class
The first mmorpg i have played was Aion and after it i didnt play any other mmo.
aaa is this gameforge or the other?
*Rheeza and Vicaria were GOAT assassins of Siel Server Benny Lava, Relax FTW*

*When we took Divine for the 1st time IYKYK*
If only we could play on this patch for min a year… I would love to pay montlhy for this…
if you try i give you full set
are there any new players
i have to say yes, as a new player i met quite a lot of ppl during leveling who are new
Aion Classic was never the real classic experience. I wish they took out all the battlepass, cash shop shit and more people would have stayed around
lost ark is dying down and youre a very cool person. you should keep it up in whatever game. good for you sywo
Sorry im not interested in lost ark but i love your aion videos!
So Daeva Pass isnt P2W? if they remove that and make the game only 12.5$ each month then im IN.
No, all stuffs from Battlepassu can gain easily for free ingame.
Why is Pandaemonium way prettier and cozier than Sanctum?
Righttt for me asmodian maps are wayy better than the elyos ones
I mean it looks like classic mmorpg more than any other game
9 euro /mo + pay2win elements, sucks, this game was made in 2005/6/7/8, a dead game with many vulnerabilities against cheats..., not many ppl will stay playing this
Aion was nice in 2009, 2010, but in 2023 is outdated, its nice to play the nostalgia, but not as main rpg...
It's bad for them to have a f2p for 1 hour and a sub fee it just looks and feels weird honestly they should just make it a sub based game period full stop. I wanted to try this game back in the day when it came out but none of my irl friends wanted to so I never did. I don't plan to play here but that structure of 1 hour of premium then you're a peasant is literally a quit moment for new players and just a spit in the face lol. Just make a sub if ur game is good people will sub.
You want play aion with more of 1500 - 2000 players and full free to play? Euroaion.
you know they fake their player count, right?
Aion is the first MMO i played and i will always remember it fondly but simply returning a game with little to no fixes, same visuals and many, many "free to play" real cash shop items which are bought with money and actually needed free is hellish...
Aion classic is a spit in the face to the old vets who expected an actual classic. This was nothing like it was.
I was looking forward to Aion Classic (remastered is a better name). It's the old game with quality of life improvements that make for a better experience. 1 week in and i'm lvl42 enjoying some rifts/dungeons. Fk the daeva pass though, rewards are shit for the 30euros it costs.
pay sub & also to pay and for curency to improve gear and to sell for kinah neah.... this is huge pay to win !
Why don't they just revamp AION 3.0 with new Unreal Engine and fix the bugs ?
AION as an MMORPG game is unparalleled but let down by bugs and trash graphics, which is not even that hard to remaster.
Man i love the game but...BUT...money to get full xp and loot? Battle pass as well? Bruh....fk u ncsoft
there is a siel thing cause of that i gave up it.o need waste your time.PLayin a game and you dont get any loot just shit.I payed old Aion long time but it is not like this shit.
easy to lvlup
It's an abomination of an experience.
The kinahi ncome is better here? We have very different experiences my friend :(
Aion Classic is just a last ditch effort to salvage anything left of this lost lamb of a game. Why should you go suffer grinding all over just to have them ruin it again with patches and updates. Waste of time and waste of effort. Played the game for over 5 years, had some decent times but monetary incentives always makes a fun game unplayable. Good job Devs.
you remember the name badvirus sywo XD its me FU aion classic its still pay to win crap still gold pack still no pay to play like the real classic was 12 bucks a month in order to play we had 0 bots back in 2009 cause of that p2play now the bots are back kinah sellers XD ap trading secretly in abyss
All that RMT bs like bruh stop falling for games like this and Bot Ark
Infinite aion the best
P2W no thanks :)
Aion + EU = TRASH
completely pointless video
If this video is pointless to you, you might lack hearing comprehension
NOT SO CLASSIC
also
NOT SO F2P
AND VERY P2W
Very P2W.. Lol...What is paytowin? Game time model? Normal thing. Daeva pass? Not Nessery. All items in pass u can obtain easily ingame for free. So what is VERY P2W :D :D
@@vinniebosch maybe they talking about scrolls and foods and potions, but you can craft those as the gear as well. So all the pay to win thing if is becouse of those is verry stupid. Those are not pay to win you either farm kinah or craft them yourself. And siel pass well people forget about aion having gold pack need it in order to trade and not be limited. So siel pass is also montly and besides is way cheeper then what a gold pack was.
Aion is stupid im sorry. All they have to do is make a legit aion 3.0 Use the nice new Unreal graphics make it after the perivous games and change the tab target to action and they will pretty much have a huge player base that isn't going anywhere unless they do Pay2win like always >.>
just no
