Hey players,
As many of you know, starting Friday evening, we're experiencing some hardcore DDoS attacks impacting our AION servers and even other games and services. Because of these attacks, you might face intense ingame lag, disconnects, or even issues trying to connect to our servers in the first place.
We want to assure you that our tech team, alongside our service provider partners, has been actively working to lessen the blow since Friday, as mentioned on our Discord.
We're deploying various methods and tactics to fend off the DDoS attacks, beef up our network security, and protect our systems from such harmful actions. It's unfortunate, but the perpetrators are trying everything possible to make this worse and ruin every user's experience.
We're constantly fighting back and striving to bring our operations back to normal ASAP.
We get how annoying and inconvenient this whole thing has been and, to recognize the disruption you're dealing with, our team is planning a compensation scheme for next week. But right now, our main focus is server stability.
We appreciate your ongoing support and understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,
Your AION team.
By the way, I've been testing Aion Riftshade in beta, and let me tell you, they have strong Anti-DDoS Protection ensuring smooth gameplay. So keep an eye out for their launch in Q1 2026 if you want a stable experience.
