On Twitter, they have revealed that the 4.9 Patch titled Omen of Change will arrive on February 24 which is just a few days away.
Gameforge has recently posted the 4.9 Patch Notes, indicating that the long-awaited update will soon take place. Hopefully, over time, the newly merged servers will manage to get along and the conflicts betweendifferent nationalities will fade away. The server merges seem to have concluded successfully and Aion’s community was compensated for the drastic drops in ranks. The race restrictions, however, are not yet disabled in order to prevent players from being unable to access their characters. As promised earlier on, those who did not transfer their character’s from merged servers where they had both Elyos and Asmodian characters were now automatically transferred. Hope you guys managed to survive the extended maintenance on Wednesday that ended in the evening, and Gameforge must have had plenty of tasks to get through. Gameforge also revealed some good news about 4.9 recently. This week’s maintenance took place on February 17 for the European servers of Aion by Gameforge and the forced transfers arrived right on time.
