Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Aion's new Community Manager has been working hard since he's taken over and in another interview he dives in to tackle the difficult concerns that the community has. Will changes be made that ease the grind for players ascending beyond level 20?

IGNPC: The hottest topic on all Aion forums seems to be about the "grind" to level 50. We know that there's an experience boost patch coming soon that will adjust the XP rewards for quests as well as monster kills but are there any plans of adding more quests as well?

Andrew Beegle: It's important to note that the 1.5.1 patch will be adjusting XP rewards for a number of quests, but we're still reevaluating the experience gain for individual monster kills. We've spent a great deal of time analyzing the player-submitted feedback and the data that we've pulled from our internal servers to plan future changes. I'd like to discuss all our plans to potentially alter XP gain, but we need to come to a decision as a team first.

As for adding additional quests that's something we're still evaluating internally. We recognize that there are level ranges that can be problematic and consequently frustrating for some players. Our goal is to address those concerns without making the game too easy.
