Aion punts Hackshield, talks transfers and 4.7
What's up, Aion? Long time no talk. Looks like your EU community manager has released a community report that talks up everything from Hackshield integration to character transfers to the upcoming 4.7 update. Hackshield will be going away, as the devs have "decided to halt the integration and look for something new," though that something new hasn't been finalized yet. Transfers are also in the works, but the devs have to plan carefully to avoid borking the game's server-based factional/racial balance. There's no date on 4.7 yet, but localization is current in process and the team hopes to "update you about the content and features of 4.7 anytime soon."
Paid server transfers coming to Aion
Ever since Aion's server merge and limited free server transfers last summer, the possibility of paid server transfers has been hanging around in the background. The possibility is about to become a reality. This morning, the Aion community team announced that the service will be live in just a few weeks. Details are few at the moment, but the core questions of "when and how much" have been answered. Daevas can start switching servers on April 27th for a fee of $24.99. Players will almost certainly have questions regarding the specifics of this service, so the community team is working on a FAQ to be released closer to the 27th. You can view the notice on Aion's announcement page.
