Those of you keeping an eye on Aion’s status today eagerly awaiting the 4.0 launch are no doubt frustrated by the maintenance extension. With an estimated 6 additional hours of downtime, this mega-hyped Daeva doesn’t have much to do but sit here and stare at the NCWest Aion Twitter account waiting for updates.
[Update: The launcher is now working! Boot the game from the Aion executable or shortcut to begin!]
Perhaps not as exciting as the actual Aion 4.0 launch is the release of patch notes, linked on the official Twitter and subsequently linked right here. Good thing we have a while to wait, because within that .pdf file lies 62 pages of information on what we’re about to see later today. It’s a long read!
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since 4.0 was revealed, and even harder to believe that the update is coming our way less than a year after its Korean release. It feels like just yesterday Aion was still pay to play and we were still on 2.9. Sigh~
Let’s hope they get the issues sorted out soon. I can’t wait to see the new UI in action, try out the new classes, and run around Katalam like it’s nobody’s business. Choo choo!
