  "textContent": "Camera Modes\nAion 1 mode: Fixed camera, you rotate with mouse.\n\nAion 2 Items mode: Mouse directly controls camera (similar to Guild Wars 2 action camera). Easier for combat, but may cause jitter and motion sickness.\n\nMounts\nYou get your first mount quickly. Available mounts include stags, golems, trolls, slimes, trees, even a star – but most are behind paywalls or expensive on the auction house.\n\n5. The Business Model: Pay-to-Win? (Crucial for New Players)\nAion 2 is free-to-play but has three monetization pillars. Western players should expect changes before global release.\n\nPillarCost (Approx.)What It Does\nComfort MembershipPart of ~€47/month totalUnlocks account trading & auction house access. Seen as mandatory.\nContent MembershipPart of ~€47/month totalIncreases daily dungeon limits & Abyss time. Massive gameplay advantage.\nPremium Battle Pass28-day durationSells resources for gear upgrades, not just cosmetics.\nCash ShopVariableSells resurrection stones, buffs, and premium currency.\nIndirect Pay-to-Win\nBuy premium currency → trade for in-game gold → use gold on auction house → buy upgrades.\n\n\"Whales\" (unlimited budgets) can reach max gear level in days, while free players grind all season.\n\nDeveloper Note: The monetization is currently being tested in Asia and may differ for the Western release.\n\n6. Current Problems & What Needs to Change for Global Release\nBased on Taiwanese server feedback:\n\n❌ Major Issues\nBots overrunning the economy. Korean servers use real-name verification; Taiwan server (where many Westerners play) is flooded.\n\nUpgrade mechanics rely on luck (success rates), not just loot. Materials become scarce; success rates drop. Real money bypasses this buy Aion 2 Items.\n\nRigid animations – cannot be canceled smoothly. PC veterans call combat \"clunky.\"\n\nOverloaded menus – dozens of submenus with red exclamation marks. You'll spend hours clicking just to clear notifications.\n\nLag in hubs – Dawn Legion Base drops to ~10 FPS with multiple players (may be VPN-related).\n\nNo English voice-over – currently Chinese with English subtitles. Full localization expected for global release.\n\nStatistics: Posted by Joenwalker — Mon May 18, 2026 08:55\n\n* * *",
