Was instant when I did it.
I played a few characters to lvl40 and subsequently stopped playing due to constant ganking in quest areas by higher levels. It levelling frustrating and even more time consuming. Has this stopped or are lvl50s still free to gank outfield questers?

As the chat has reports of Asmo's in Eltan (sp?) I'm guessing ganking is still part of the game.
Which is going to annoy me greatly as I do NOT do PvP in any game.

Yea if you're not in to PvP you may struggle as it's a heavily orientated PvP game, well it was when I played it at least
there was a game mechanic introduced beards ago that gives the home faction a defense buff, this effectively killed off PvP rifting
.before it went f2p they held events that allowed for rifting every other week or two but only in the higher level area's, we can only hope they re-introduce this feature!
How is this game pleasing everyone ? I really fancy the look of it but im not convinced i should get another mmo , they take up so much time haha !
I was a massive eve online person at one stage and it took so much of my life away im not sure i wanna take that risk again with another game

I'm a big fan of Aion, played nearly 2yrs so obviously biased but apart from Lotro it's the best true MMo out there atm (in my humble my opinion)
F2P has certainly been a success in terms of reviving the game, nearly all the UK servers have queue's at peak times and starter area's are nice and busy.
Right first off, there is no bloody grind !!! ignore anyone who tells you different and secondly THERE IS NO GRIND !!!!
PvP plays a very big part in Aion from level 25 to cap, if your not into this aspect it will impact on your gameplay. PvE is full to the brim with Quests everywhere you go (run of the mill stuff tbh) but there quite a few solo instances that start at level 17 > 25 > 37 and quite a few areas with elite mobs that do require groups.

GOOD.. I don't see why someone else should dictate how and when I should be playing.. If I want to quest PvE only.. I shouldn't have to encounter ganking t**ts whilst doing so.
It was quite obvious from development to release Aion was a PvP game and rifting was a game mechanic, if people didn't like that idea why would they purchase and play it ? however, now it's free to play it's a mute point.
Sure, I understand that ganking can be a pain but it's an MMo which means there are others playing so call for help. Both sides have quests and dailies for killing the other faction both home and in away zones, these often gave great rewards.
I should also mention there are zones where it's impossible to meet other factions and you can safely pick flowers all day long

then go play hello kitty online
I used to love it when Elyos came ganking, I'd be all up in the Abyss minding my own bidness when you see a shout that Elyos are ganking in some map and it was like a call to arms, we would all drop what we were doing make our way to our lands, cleansing them of the fairy looking Elyos and then be on our way.
Those were the good old days.
Are there level limitations on rift PvP though? The few times I've been jumped on it always seems to be by someone much higher than me.
I don't mind a fight, but there's no fun in being insta-gibbed with no hope of defending yourself.

could have changed but when I played there were level ranges to enter. Not that this is the right one but for example 22-30, 30-35, 30-40 etc.
Rifts happen every few hours iirc, they are like cHk4 explained and limited by level with a certain amount of uses. At say level 30-40 when you port through a rift it will take you to an area where players are in the same range. The only problem was a high level player could basically navigate from one part of the zone to the other and end up being 20+ levels above enemies
I was on my level 38 Templar last night in Belusian when my pet gave off an enemy alert !! when I turned around a high level eylos pigeon was closing in, his tag was purple which meant he was far higher in level probably 9+ thus meaning he would get NO AP from me if he attacked. He stopped opened shop and had a gab with me, then when players a bit higher arrived he would attack them.
Is sanctum still really laggy?
The Servers that i paid to use 12 months ago, will they be the same servers that i used 12 months ago now that the game has gone FTP?
Only when i played around 12 months ago i had to quit the game as i was getting a constant 60 FPS but the lag was unbearable in Sanctum-resulting in unplayable stuttering , and after doing some research the lag was a very common problem in Sanctum, i never ever found a fix.
So im wondering what Sanctum is like 12 months later regarding lag?
