Hello, my character name is Virta, I been playing this game nearly since from beginning.
I started on Perento as a Asmodian cleric and been part of pvp community since start. I loved doing pvp via rifts, even sieges were enjoyable even if the dominating legions were pretty much only ones who got rewards. Although we had a nice legion who sold their rewards to whole faction for kinah. (They placed a private store in Reshanta where you could go buy silver / gold medals). Later they quit the game because it got too easy and boring for them. (Having too overpowered gear). That was the time I noticed community changing and becoming greedy and bullies, because everyone wanted to win the fort.
Well then at some point I moved to Telemachus and started to play there on Elyos side since I wanted to try that faction out also. I enjoyed doing world pvp at Silentera Canyon and Gelkmaros / Inggisson. Even though I remember there was a lot zerg fest going on thanks to some legions.
Later when Nexus came, I wanted to start from beginning and create a twink character for that purpose. So I became elyos and enjoyed my time doing rift pvp and twinking. Nexus had a wide active twinking community which made it more enjoyable. Difference with twinks was they wanted to fight vs each other and not vs the "randoms" or easy kills, since that was boring.
So I was pretty much doing pvp in Nexus and Telemachus at the sametime, at this point I had abandoned Perento due to too much trolls and trash talk going on there.
Then Nexus got new level cap and the twinking community died slowly away, so I moved fulltime back to Telemachus and did do world pvp there when Katalam came. That was perhaps my best fun in whole game due to having a lot easier gaining gear for pvp, that even alts could enjoy it. (Strife gear was good enough for many situations).
Although then came new changes to the game, new gear and harder grinding was introduced and due to me wanting only do pvp, I fell behind in gear (Nosra / Esterra) and in levels. This made me bored and annoyed, so I quit the game.
Then I heard about 6.0 being introduced and advertised that we will have new gear that is easier to get and can only be upgraded to +15. This got my interest, so I came back to Aion from a long break, only to find out that it is way worse RNG base than ever before.
The hopes and dreams of having a new pvp community got shattered. Infact I found out that a lot of old pvprs gone to private servers or quit the game all along. The community was aimed towards PvE mainly.
So now I am thinking, should I continue the game or quit the game. Would 7.0 bring more hope or will it shatter my dreams of a pvp community?
I enjoyed playing this game even with it's ups and downs, now I am not sure if there will be any "up's" left?
