Aion is in the process of updating to version 3.9, and players are already patching their clients and getting ready to enjoy all that NCSoft has to deliver. Patch 3.9 brings with it a number of updates, including a mass ban of over seventeen thousand botters, allowing players to run instances with each other across server boundaries, a new instance, and additional storage space. One update which stands out in particular is the introduction of beginner’s servers. One of the chief complaints that I’ve seen here at MMO Fallout regarding Aion is that the game shoves players into pvp areas either before they are ready to face other, higher leveled players. Others simply don’t want to engage in PvP.
In response, update 3.9 brings beginner’s servers, where players can start new characters or transfer their old characters over. Beginner’s servers offer most of the Aion experience with none of the PvP. The server is not without restrictions however, players are unable to trade items to each other, nor can they open up shops. The beginner’s server is a collection of players from other “home” servers, however the auction house on the beginner server will only connect to the individual player’s home server. Sending letters with attachments is disabled and players are unable to capture strongholds.
Luckily, however, you can always transfer back to your home server whenever you’d like. The patch notes indicate that in the future players who opt to stick with the normal servers will enjoy bonus EP and a buff to loot drops.
