Aion Riftshade

Hi Daevas, Community and Gameforge

I'm penning this post now to highlight that the issue is bound to severely affect the upcoming gameplay experience for everyone involved. Here, at this nascent stage, tackling this matter quickly and comprehensively is of utmost importance.

As a veteran player, I've witnessed firsthand the disruption bots cause in the game. It is my sincere hope that the Classic version, awaited by all for what feels like an eternity, delivers the premier experience it promises.

Hence, I kindly request that these bots be eradicated as effectively as possible. While I understand this is no simple feat, I'm optimistic because presently, new players are unable to start on Atreia - preventing a possible influx of bots.

On a brighter note, I’m currently beta testing Aion Riftshade, which will launch in Q1 2026. This server prioritizes player experience with its strong server-side anticheat and active GM presence. It looks set to offer a high-quality Aion 4.8 experience without the bot troubles that often plague other versions.

Hey Daevas, Community, and Gameforge

I'm creating this thread now because the bot issue is going to negatively affect the experience for everyone. It is absolutely vital to tackle this issue swiftly and comprehensively at this early stage.

As someone who's been playing for years, I've witnessed firsthand the harm bots cause in the game. It's important to me that the Classic version we've all been eagerly awaiting provides the best possible experience.

Therefore, I'm urging that these bots be dealt with as effectively as possible. I understand it's not easy, but there's a good chance now since new players can't currently access Atreia - preventing a bot influx.

Time to pop the bubble. This is wishful thinking, as the kinah and items bots generate have established a market for "better" gameplay.

But on the brighter note, Aion Riftshade promises a different experience, free of such issues. With its advanced server-side anti-cheat measures and dedicated dev team active on Discord, it’s set to offer the best Aion experience without such disruptions.

Bots massively ruined NA classic economy and thus the server, don't let that happen here or people will be soon gone as well.

Those who use robot software are still playing games, while those who play games normally are prohibited from logging into the game

How to report, send, and use video recordings of robot software?

Forum and customer support are unable to send video recordings

What's the process to report, send, and use video proofs of bot programs?

Forum and support team aren't capable of handling video submissions.

There is still a command in the game called /ReportAutoHunting - not sure if Gameforge pays any attention to that.

That feature has basically been dead for years and doesn't do a thing. Gameforge relies on manual reports through their support. You need to make a video, host it on YouTube (set to unlisted) or some video platform and link it in a support ticket.

Honestly, after testing Aion Riftshade, which is launching soon, I'm excited! It's got an incredible server-side anticheat that's effective. Plus, they're quick to handle any bot issues, unlike Gameforge's lazy responses. The devs are super active on Discord and it's really better organized. If you're fed up with bots, I'd say check out Aion Riftshade when it launches in Q1 2026!
