Aion News - Eye on Community - March
Posted by Michael Bitton on Mar 08, 2010 | 3 comments in our forums
Aion Community Manager Andrew "Tamat" Beegle has posted this month's Eye on Community letter, where he answers a question regarding the differences between the 1.9 vs. 2.0 game updates with regards to the Western version of Aion.

Read the Q&A below:
“Seeing chatter about two patches, 1.9 and 2.0, at the same time confuses me. What’s the difference between the two, and will there be a difference between their release here and in Korea?”
Aion in Korea is always a bit ahead of Aion here in the West in terms of game version. Sometimes we get updates more quickly, and other times, they take us longer to roll out because we have to do more work behind the scenes to implement them. If an update contains a large amount of content that requires localization into English, French, and German, it takes longer to implement the update.
We are fairly on-par in game version with other territories right now since all regions are currently running version 1.5 of Aion. Aion was recently updated to 1.9 on the Korean Public Test Server, but aside from that, there hasn’t been an announced date for when 1.9 will go live across all servers in Korea. Likewise, we haven’t announced when we will be implementing 1.9 on our North American and European servers, but we are currently working on the localization of 1.9. We are very excited and want to get update 1.9 in the hands of players as soon as it is ready. Version 2.0 refers to a future update that Korea has announced in name only. There are no solid dates for any territories for version 2.0 at this time.

Can´t wait for these amazing patches. Been enjoying aion since headstart and six moths later, it´s still a blast=)
I agree with you! :D , and even though, there are times for myself that i get discouraged, just the fact of the upcoming patches and what they are wanting to turn Aion into is keeping me going steady and strong!
The game is a blast, especially with friends and a legion, havent hit the 50 pvp yet, but i know once im there, ill be hooked :D
Looks like a lot of good stuff in the patches, but the game seemed like too much of a 'grind' to me. Unless you fought mobs a few levels below you, each fight seemed to take too long. And when you have to kill sooo many things in order to level, it just stopped being 'fun' and strarted to feel more like 'work'.
May have to try the game again at some point... but not right now. Not for me, at least.
