Aion’s ‘Ascend’ Server: Rich QoL Upgrades
Fulfilling its “Fly everywhere -- Explore, Conquer, Ascend” slogan, the new Ascend server is rich with quality-of-life gameplay updates. Players can level up faster than before with XP increases. Players can grow faster with easier farming with 2X Dungeon Rewards, gain greater power with improved equipment enchantment (Manastone Socketing Success Rate X3), and experience quicker leveling with X4 level-up speed.
The new “Enchant” Boost increases players’ odds for major items, enabling faster upgrades, and, when in dungeons, players will see a massive drop rate increase. When you kill your enemy, loot reigns! Existing Classic players also receive a major update, raising the maximum level to 70, adding new raids, dungeons, and loot.

Bask in Lineage II’s Summer Update
“Beat the heat with the power of frost” and ravage your enemies with two new character classes and one new guardian with Lineage II’s Summer Update. Available to play on Tuesday, August 12, Lineage II’s update offers players the new class, Wolf Waker, replete with deadly skills: “The Mark of Waker”, a unique Wolf Waker skill that marks a target as prey, and “Wake”, which strategically activates two of the Wolf Waker’s latent powers to gain the upper hand in battle.
The second new class, Rose Vain, ‘blooms destruction’ using a wicked quiver of killer attacks with the best names ever: Rose Vine, Nightmare Death Blossom, Perfume of Death, Mass Ensnare, and more. The new NPC guardian, Glacika, is a deadly witch who manipulates ice storms with her whip and stains her pure white eyes with the blood of her enemies.
Players can get ahold of L-Grade weapons and armor now with a perfect rate effect. When triggered, it greatly increases the final damage of the Normal Attacks/P.Skills/M.Skills, unlocking the true potential of the L-Grade equipment.
There are also tradeable Heavenly Cloaks, a new enchantment scroll that dramatically increases the enchantment success rate, and upgrades to harness the power of the Dragon Weapon. Five Types of Dragon Weapons will be upgraded first, with others to follow: one-handed sword, Dagger, Bow, Ancient Sword, Fist Weapon. Plus, Immortal Weapon options will be further enhanced, remaining at top tier.
