As most of you are aware, Korea runs off of a very different business model than NA Aion doeswow accounts for sale cheap. Most of their players pay per hour and until recently they haven't had an item shop. This is in contrast to NA Aion, which has a monthly subscription fee with vanity items either bought through the NCSoft store or as part of other related products such as the Aion Magazine.

There are a few things that make the KAion item shop news worthy. First, they've got some costumes for sale in it that we just haven't seen yet in the west (via the AStyle shop just launched). My favorite has got to be the Ribbit costume, although the more traditional players out there will appreciate the wedding outfits more. I'm hoping that these outfits will make their way over into our version of Aion soon.



Beyond the costumes, they're selling dyesbuying wow gold , which shouldn't be surprising to anybody. Unfortunately, they're also selling potions now in their N lounge shop, which is a bit controversial. We have not found evidence that the following items are obtainable in-game through regular means.


Infinite Bottle of Life Serum (15 days)
Infinite Bottle of Mana Serum (15 days)
Infinite Bottle of Recovery Serum (15 days)
Infinite Bottle of Recovery Serum (30 days)
Sanctum Instant Scroll
Pandaemonium Instant Scroll


The cash shop is fairly traditional in that it works through spending real money for virtual points (N Points) that then allow customers to make purchases in the cash shop. Adding to the list of controversial moves, NCSoft has decided to implement an award system for users of their N PointsAion kinah for sale cheap, where if you're a person who uses a lot of N Points, then you can potentially get priority in a closed beta test for a new game or may even get some in-game items.

I was talking with our translator about this and at the moment I am very happy that the business models of KAion and NA Aion are different. This particular move seems ill-advised as it seems like a move towards the f2p model of business where those with cash just buy whatever they need to succeed. This is one thing that those paying a monthly fee normally hope to avoid.

It does beg the question of whether we will see those potion rewards in our version of the game and where they could work out the best in terms of fairnessffxiv gil for sale cheap. Maybe as an AP reward? Please share your opinions.
