Ncsoft has confirmed that their fantasy MMORPG Aion: the tower of eternity will be transformed into a free-to-play model in 2012. This version of the game will only be available in Europe. This free-to-play model will contain all classes, regions, skills and most of the instances. You don’t have to pay for the game either, you just download the game client, make an account and play the game.
There are three models: Starter, Veteran and Gold User. The Starter- model (the free version), Veteran-model is for old players that will change their subscription to free-to-play and the Gold users are the players who’ll still play for additional options. Each Model has its own advantages. For more information about the features of each class, check out the following site:
Publisher Gameforge will become a partner of Ncsoft to help launch this game model, to maintain the additional servers and to help out with the servers. Ncsoft didn’t release any information of this “change”regarding to Aion in North America.
