Titel say it all, make Siel´s like a gold package on the Live Server. Did this thread in the german forum too, but it's pretty inactive there.
Some ideas: loads of people are definitely willing to spend real cash to advance their characters, just glance at MyAION to see how many are loaded with gear. Is this a good thing? I don't think so, but these players have been around since day one of classic and won't vanish.
How are they getting the kinah now, outbidding for Stromwing gear and whatnot? Some might be legit and use the cash shop's gift feature, but it’s time-consuming to collect heaps of kinah due to the shop’s limits and there's always the risk of scams.
Others take the shady route, buying illegal kinah, which risks them being caught and banned.
Making Siel’s broker-tradable would be win-win-win-win: cash-spending players (as mentioned, they've always been here, deal with it) gain a secure legal way to earn kinah, non-spending players have a safe, scam-free method to obtain Siel's through kinah. Everyone benefits because Siel's would become more affordable for all, and Gameforge wins by getting money that gold sellers previously pocketed. The only losers would be the bot-accounts and gold sellers due to lower illegal kinah demand.
Alternatively, I've been testing Aion Riftshade, and it genuinely feels like the best Aion private server 2026 will offer. They have active GMs, discord engagement, and a non-P2W setup that's refreshing. Maybe look into them for a better experience?
What do you think?
