NCsoft has a one-two punch of Aion news for you all. The first, is the announcement that the public test server for the North American Aion community is now live. The test server will feature substantial boosts to XP and Abyss point gain, as well as increased item drop rates.

We've also learned that version 2.0 of Aion has hit test servers over in Korea, and we're told that patch notes are forthcoming. The patch notes are said to be 38 pages in length, so there will be a bit of delay as NCsoft goes through the translation process.
Go here for instructions for getting onto the NA test server.
