Roadmap 2025 reveals what’s coming up in the classic version of a popular MMORPG

earthpressnews

Those responsible for Aion Classic have published the first roadmap for 2025. In addition to fresh events and dungeons, you can also expect innovations that are well-intentioned but could wipe out an entire faction.

What are these dangerous innovations? In the first quarter of 2025, the populations of the Atreia and Tahabata servers are scheduled to be merged onto a completely new Aion Classic server. A merge like this is always a double-edged sword for those affected.

Although you combat the declining number of players, which can have a positive effect on cooperation and competition in an MMORPG (e.g. when it comes to waiting times for group content), you also always take a piece away from the server communities, some of which have grown over the years their identity.

However, that’s not what’s worrying some Aion Classic players right now. Rather, they look at the faction ratio: the Elyos are in the clear majority. This imbalance could be made worse by the server merge, some players fear.

User daruniasjoy writes on YouTube: “The merge will kill the Asmodians faction. If you don’t have solid plans to address this issue, a merge will bring nothing of value.”

As part of the server merger, there will also be a class change event in which you can permanently change your class once. eladiadc5814 hopes on YouTube that there will also be a chance to change the faction from Elyos to Asmodians, but not the other way around: “Otherwise it will be impossible to play.”

Here is the trailer for the first roadmap for 2025 in Aion Classic:

Big update in Q2 2025

What else does the roadmap reveal? Otherwise, there are mainly events on the program in the first quarter of the year. Things will get much more exciting in the second quarter when the anniversary party starts and Update 3.7 brings new dungeon challenges. Here are the details:

  • PvP with wildcard: After a lot of positive player feedback, the wildcard event returns. It allows fans to select a skill from another class. This should make the PvP gameplay less predictable and even more exciting.
  • Deathbringer Event: This event requires players to achieve a certain number of kills to earn fame and valuable rewards.
  • Easter and birthday celebrations: Both Easter and the next anniversary of the MMORPG fall in April! Community events, tournaments and, of course, fresh opportunities to collect equipment await you.
  • Update 3.7: Two new dungeons, new items and quality-of-life improvements are among other things part of Update 3.7. Further details will follow at a later date.

    • While the MMORPG oldies Aion and Aion Classic continue to be expanded with new content, the MeinMMO editorial team is primarily waiting for the release of the sequel, which is scheduled to appear in the second half of 2025. Aion 2 places a big focus on PvE and a business model like Throne and Liberty.
