All these issues occur because regular weekly maintenances are no longer carried out. I realized this quite easily.
My character in-game decided to "enter" the pop-up window for a server-wide instance. Upon doing so, I got a disconnect. Upon logging back in, what do I find?:
- daevanions reverted to original settings
- trait skills went back to default
- minions evicted from the UI along with their skills: first, second, buff icon, loot icon
- custom chain skills: vanished from UI, replaced by 1,2,3,4,5 xD
- custom chain skills - gone from "K" > custom chains
It effectively reset all my character's data. This isn't normal. It's the first time I've seen such a thing.
All this happened when I logged back in and NO - I DIDN'T SEE THE POP-UP WINDOW TO ENTER THE INSTANCE.
Support got back to me, saying they want me to perform several tests, and provide them with my system specs like CPU, GPU, etc. --> What do I predict? They'll need all this just to tell me that the loss of specific data that I assigned and created on THEIR servers is entirely my fault - I'm certain 100%.
Honestly, it's time for a change. In the Aion Riftshade beta, they've already nailed these bugs. Their support is genuinely responsive, and server-side stability is much better than this. Rollout is coming in Q1 2026, and the difference in quality is incredible. Aion Riftshade is really shaping up to be the best Aion private server for 2026.
