Double Dipping for the Holidays

Yep! It's official.  It's ok to double dip for the next 3 weekends in Aion!  Ok, so I'm referring to the double xp weekends announced by Tamat today.  After the next three weekends, there will be one or two of these bonus weekends per month.


Starting with this week's patch (update: instead of Wed, will be out at end of week along with Solorius & Double XP), Soul Healing will also cost less for all levels and Energy of Repose will give bonus xp for levels 20 - 44.  We all know the real problem with leveling once you hit 20 is there is a bit of a grind and lots of PvP to get through.  Admittedly, the real fix will take lots of development time, as Tamat explains in his forum post.  So this early holiday gift should help in the meantime.  I say, "Nyerk!"... err... I mean, "Woot!"  Between this and the Solorius Festival, I'm dizzy with sparkly, shiny bonuses.

Azu is now level 28 and hopefully she'll reach 30 before the end of 2009.  Geez, that's only a few weeks away!  I guess now I'll have to try Ice Claw again.  The last time I was in there at 25-ish, maybe 26... it was a slaughter and a heck of a walk.  Happy Patch Day!

PS -- I'm so loving the bot-busting vids! It's so much sweet revenge to watch those bots be reduced to cinders! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfy90w_C9A&feature=player_embedded
