The are not, they even stated that they eased the lvling process.

From the announcement "However, there are many players who experienced difficulties in the original Aion due to the high EXP required to advance. These issues have been corrected in Classic and adjustments have been made so that the
highest level can be reached in a shorter amount of time.
Classic is not F2P. It's a P2P subscription based game. Literally right here on https://www.aiononline.com/classic they have two columns - "Free trial" and "Siel's Aura". Trial vs subscription, like every other subscription based game that offers a trial.
They posted this link on their twitter a little while ago which covers a lot of that. No direct info on exactly what the exp and drop rates are compared to original Aion but they did confirm that they're following in the footsteps of the Korean classic version.
Breaking Rule 5 by calling other folks delusional. But for those who did not read the patch notes as well. Here you go. <code>https://www.aiononline.com/news/awakened-legacy-patch-notes</code>
It is a trial account.
If you go to the FAQ and go to Premium Membership > Siel's Aura: Full list of differences, it calls the non-premium version the "Free trial".
So it's a different version of something like FFXIV'S endless trial, just different limitations. However, even trial users get full sub benefits for 1 hour a day, so not too shabby to be honest.
No entendía de qué me hablabas..y digo "pero si yo me pase días y horas jugando aion.. que onda.."
Resulta que:
Albion y Aion son 2 juegos distintos xD
Yo viciaba Aion (NCsoft) ..
I was wondering why ncsoft just posted this major announcement on the main aion game page
https://www.aiononline.com/news/legal-documentation-updates-effective-may-5-2021
Looks like they’re trying to pull a fast one to prepare for the lawsuit.
Ncsoft also fucks over us aion players too with their borderline fake rng system.
You may be thinking of the long-running MMO "AION".
It takes place on a sort of fractured hollow world.
Supposedly anyway, the screenshots I can find don't really show off this gimmick.
Yes you can play at NA, but EU and NA are from a different company so you need to make a new account and download a different client, there is also the Ping issue, idk wich server will run better for you.
here NA official site https://www.aiononline.com/
I don't think there are any servers in Aussie, but the closest one for you, it's the NA servers.
the website for aion NA : https://www.aiononline.com/
and for your last question no it's not really good to come back on this game lot of people leave this game because the updates are getting more and more ridiculous. if you want really test aion i advice to play on server private with a old update
Ragnarok Online and Aion both have those.
The former uses them exclusively, the latter also has an auction house so the personal shops (last I played) saw little use, but were used occasionally. I think there's a decent amount of korean f2p mmos that still utilize it, but it's not frequent.
I opened a ticket.

Hello there,
Thank you for contacting the Aion Support Team.
Regarding the AION Item and Economy Migration, kindly refer to the details below:
• Kinah stored in your mailbox, inventory, and broker was automatically changed into Gold Ingots which can be located in the Special Cube of your inventory. The conversion will be 1 Gold Ingot per 30 Million Kinah. For every 1 Gold Ingot converted, an average of 12 Million Kinah was added to your inventory.
• Kinah stored in your Account Warehouse was automatically changed to Gold Ingot Bundles containing 1 Gold Ingot each. This was also at a rate of 30 Million Kinah for each Gold Ingot Bundle. For each Gold Ingot Bundle earned, you will receive 12 Kinah Bundles (worth 1 million Kinah each). These were deposited into the Account Warehouse, but can only be withdrawn once.
• Essence Cores of level 5 or higher was also changed to Gold Ingots. There was no Kinah added for Essence Core conversions.
For more information on the economy changes please see the link below:
