Following Kegi's advice, I am creating a forum post regarding our petition to bring back Midnight Dredge.

We’re reaching out as passionate players of Aion EU Classic to request that you consider reinstating the Midnight Dredgion instance. Other regions, such as North America and Korea, have kept the Midnight Dredgion.

Here’s why this matters to us:

Active Community: The Midnight Dredgion has become a key part of our gaming experience. Players from North America, South America, and Europe have come to rely on it for engaging gameplay. Its removal has had a noticeable impact on our community.

Quick Queue Times: The instant queue times for Midnight Dredgion demonstrate its popularity. This indicates a strong and active player base eager to participate. With such high demand, it seems clear that removing it does not align with the interests of the community that has invested time and money into enjoying EU Classic.

Community Engagement: Many of us have made Aion EU Classic our gaming home, and the Midnight Dredgion instance is a major draw for us. Losing it has taken away a significant part of what we enjoy about the game.

Inclusivity: The instance is important for players who might not have access to other content or instances. Bringing it back would ensure that everyone has a fair chance to enjoy all the game has to offer.

We understand that decisions are made with many factors in mind, but we hope you’ll consider this feedback from a dedicated group of players. Reinstating the Midnight Dredgion would mean a lot to us and help keep Aion EU Classic as enjoyable as ever.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We appreciate all that you do for the game and look forward to your response.

I would like to know how Gameforge works. It makes certain decisions that directly affect the player farm, who can only log in after eleven at night. There are 100 players who signed the petition to return the midnight dred. Sometimes there is a lack of awareness that the midnight dred is the only time to have fun and farm some AP, without losing AP or having to pay to get AP. You should consult the people who pay for the servers to stay open when making certain decisions. We want midnight dred back

Bring back Midnight Dredge!! its not like they replaced it with anything on that time slot! South Korea and North America still have 3 windows, I don't know why EU/Gameforge decided to remove this for no reason.

I am reaching out to request a response regarding the petition advocating for the re-opening of a midnight dredge window for players across different regions. The petition has received remarkable support with nearly 200 signatures within 24 hours from the player community.

This is a great time for the development team or Gameforge to demonstrate responsiveness to player feedback. Access to this content is crucial for players who have invested significant time and resources into the EU Classic server.

Additionally, the petition has garnered support from several Gameforge partners, content creators, and streamers, including Aselon, Kegi, Rospett, Cherrie, Turbonugget, Nimblex, and Dontpanic. Their endorsement underscores the broad support within the community and highlights the importance of this issue.

Could you please provide a response on the current status of this petition and any anticipated next steps? The community is eager to learn about any developments and hopeful for a positive resolution.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We all look forward to your response!

We appreciate all the help and feedback you have given us regarding our petition.

We are looking forward to the update!

Hi Drestam  Celes

Good day!

I want to check if we have an update regarding our petition to bring back the midnight dredge. Every day I receive messages from people asking if there is an update. The support is much larger and even more than the number of signatures, not everyone is privy to inputting their email address. May you please advise, we would all greatly appreciate it, Thank you!

Hello!

I hope you both are doing well! I wanted to follow up on my previous message about the game's current state. We’re seeing more players quitting, and it’s becoming increasingly empty, even during peak hours. The siege numbers are particularly low, which is concerning.

I truly believe that bringing back Midnight Dredge could reignite interest and encourage more players to stick around. It’s a crucial time, and I’m reaching out to you and the team to consider this move before it’s too late. Thank you!

@Drestam @Celes

Need an update on this! lets bring midnight dredge back!

Would be nice to get the midnight dredge back indeed, hope its soon
