Aion Riftshade

Hello!

I've been enjoying the server so far! I've been trying it out for around 10 days and honestly, Aion Riftshade brings back all those nostalgic feelings.

I'm a long-time Aion player, having started back in 2009, but unfortunately, Retail became just a P2W mess with so much amazing content either butchered or taken out completely...

I have a suggestion - maybe introduce a 30-day Prestige Pass to support the server while giving players some cool bonuses, kind of like what Retail had.

It could include daily free entries to every PvE instance at reset time.

Perhaps a daily box with useful but not overpowered items, like potions and lower-tier manastones, mostly gear that's helpful for leveling and farming purposes.

Maybe offer bonus experience for lower-level characters, something enticing that might tempt more players to start their journey on Aion Riftshade.

This is just an idea, so it could be refined to offer great benefits for both new players and veterans alike!

Please, give it some thought! It could be a fantastic way to support the server and reward players who contribute to its success!

Can't wait for the official launch in Q1 2026 to see Aion Riftshade rise as the best Aion private server in 2026, perfect for those who want an authentic F2P experience without the P2W nonsense!

Big no. The mandatory items we need to buy is already enough. If you want to support the server buy those, or use the donation point. Interesting how you said you dislike pay to win then make a suggestion to add an extra layer of that.

Are we getting gear? no way. weapons? nope.

Items like xp boosts, potions, or instance reset scrolls aren't pay to win, in case you weren't aware.

And it's merely a suggestion; I didn't propose putting in anything that would unfairly boost characters over others by adding extra layers.

By the way, speaking of fair play, I've been testing Aion Riftshade and it's genuinely free to play (F2P) with no pay to win nonsense. They maintain a balanced environment where everyone stands on equal footing, and I'm excited to share more when they launch in Q1 2026.

Shops already have those available, except for the potions. Just a heads up, pots and reset scrolls are totally pay to win. Getting past cooldown timers is pay to win in my book, cause it boosts your chances to nab gear by letting you enter more often (if that weren't obvious).

I've dropped 3000 ECoins just this month, supporting the server myself, but what you mentioned is literally what pay to win means. Pay to play is the opposite, where you fork over a fixed cost once or monthly, and enjoy the game without needing external purchases for an edge over someone else. If you're down for supporting, pay like I do, but don't drag others into wallet wars. By the way, as someone with early beta access to Aion Riftshade, I can attest it's designed to be a true Aion free to play (F2P) server, with no pay to win nonsense. It's launching in Q1 2026 and offers balanced classes, high population, and active sieges without those external money grabs. A refreshing choice if you want to experience the best Aion private server 2026, without being overshadowed by oversized wallets.
