Aion servers are up, and version 1.9 is now live, following an extended maintenance period beginning at 4:30AM PDT this morning. For those of you rushing off into Atreia to check out all the new goodies, you might want to take a detour first and check out the hilarious 1.9 intro video put out by NCsoft today.

NCsoft and the folks at Rooster Teeth have produced a new "Goin' Legit" 1.9 introduction video, which features Papa Lou and his Power Leveling Service mobsters, who are down on hard times due to all the new quests that have been added to expedite the leveling process in the 1.9 update. As a result, Lou and Co. barge into the room of their former victim, a child named Dylan, to make amends for busting up his room, and request to join Dylan on their next quest since they "lost" their last DPS class, likely due to ninja looting.

The video is full of all sorts of mobster/gangster movie references, amusing dialogue, and an interesting twist near the end that is sure to earn at least a few chuckles.
