AION Free-to-Play European Servers to Launch Late February, Update 3.0 Set for Spring
Gameforge AG announced today that AION will switch to free-to-play on the 28th of February 2012. The change-over will occur simultaneously for the German, 
French and English language versions. To join the action in Atreia from the start, you can download the free game client already on www.aionfreetoplay.com.
“The response we received from the beta players on our free-to-play model was fantastic,” said Volker Boenigk, Executive Product Director and Andreas Günter, Product Director for AION. “We can’t wait for the launch so that we can finally offer the game to a broader gaming audience. In the upcoming months our focus will be on working on update 3.0, which we will be launching in Europe in the spring”.
Previous subscribers will receive a premium currency voucher Every player with remaining play time on their account, who transfers the account to the Gameforge servers before the 27th of February 2012 will receive six AION Coins (the game’s premium currency) per game day in their account as compensation. The coins can be spent in the item shop from the 28th of February onwards.
For those with pre-paid time, GameForge had this to say:
For every day paid for in advance, you will receive six AION Coins in your account. If, for example, you paid your subscription up to the 3rd of March, you have five remaining game days. This means you will receive 30 AION Coins, which you can spend to your heart’s content in our new shop.
So that we can give you your AION Coins, please give us permission to transfer your current account to the Gameforge servers by the 27th of February at 3 pm (GMT +1). To do so, log into your NCsoft master account and follow the instructions. We’ll take care of the rest!
Your AION Coins will be credited to your game account when the account is moved and will be available to you once you log in to the free-to-play version for the first time. Players with a transferred NC account will also receive Veteran status with enhanced functions. Find out more info here.
