Aion going Free to Play!

[UXZero]

For those that may be interested. Aion will be going Free to Play on April 11th.

They will be using the same F2P system as Lineage II.

The Aion Truly Free experience combines the best parts of the
Lineage 2: Goddess of Destruction™ Truly Free model with numerous enhancements.
Here are some of the key features of Aion Truly Free:

No subscription fee. Play for free!
No account restrictions. Visit any zone, chat in any channel, sell any amount of stuff on the trade broker—nothing is off limits!
Robust countermeasures to combat game abuse. We're dedicating a ton of resources to preventing account theft, botting, and real money trading.
No hassles. Create your account, download the game, and play!
No harassment. Don't worry, we won't hound you with constant offers or promotions.
A lot of great stuff we'll reveal more about leading up to launch!

That alone makes me want to try it out. Much respect for developers who fight the good fight (for games that don't have official RMT programs, that is).

Indeed, Aion has come a LOOOOOONG way since it's start. I've been playing for about 3 week since reactivation, and I've only seem one gold spam. Not that I'm paying a lot of attention to world chat but still.

Both these items have me interested. Can you imagine playing an mmo where you have fun instead of running a shop?

I am looking forward to the upcoming F2P of Aion to reactivate my old account, although I am sure I will probably only stop in here and there for some PvP between the other games we are playing atm.
