Elyon Aion 3.9 — A New Beginning

After months of reflection, testing, and development, we are proud to announce the upcoming return of Elyon Aion 3.9, rebuilt on completely new foundations.

This will not simply be a reopening of the old server. We have made the important decision to rebuild the project around a real Aion 3.9 client and a true Java 3.9 emulator, giving us far more freedom than our previous official C++ base.

This new foundation allows us to improve the server more efficiently, fix issues more quickly, and develop meaningful custom systems and additional content while preserving the original spirit of Aion 3.9.

A Retail Experience, Enhanced

Our goal is to keep the identity of the classic Aion 3.9 experience while adding more meaningful activities for players who have reached the maximum level and completed their equipment.

We listened to the community. Many players felt that once their progression was complete, there were not enough long-term objectives left to enjoy. This is why the new Elyon Aion will focus on a Retail-inspired experience enhanced with additional high-level PvE and PvP content.

New Features

• Gathering count is multiplied by two for every player.
• Players can gather while riding a mount.
• Skills are learned automatically while leveling.
• Automatic stigma learning remains disabled.
• Shop purchases are delivered directly to the character inventory.
• PvP maps rotate automatically every hour.
• FFA maps rotate every ten minutes.
• Crucible tickets are consumed immediately when joining the queue.
• A new dynamic solo instance will be available with separate rankings for Elyos and Asmodians.

Dynamic Fortress Sieges

Fortress sieges will now adapt to the number of players participating. The health of fortress doors and bosses will scale according to the population inside the siege zone.

This means that a siege originally designed for 48 players can remain achievable even when a smaller group takes part.

• Fewer participants will result in appropriately reduced door and boss health.
• Larger battles will remain challenging for organized factions.
• The outnumbered faction may receive a temporary PvP Attack and PvP Defense bonus.

Dedicated PvP Instances

PvP maps, FFA zones, the Recharger Map, and custom arenas will operate inside dedicated instances.

These instances will preserve the original environment and coordinates while removing the monsters and NPCs from the normal world. The original maps will remain fully available with their regular PvE content.

Improved Arena Protection

Crucible tickets will now be consumed immediately when a player joins the arena queue. This will prevent repeated cancellations and reduce arranged matches between friends or secondary accounts.

Staff members will also have access to a private monitoring system that can identify arena matches involving characters using the same IP address. These cases will be reviewed manually and will not result in automatic punishment.

The Server Is Already in Testing

The new emulator is already online and currently running in an active testing phase. The website is also online, and we are completing the final adjustments, balance changes, fixes, and optimizations before opening the server to everyone.

We want to take the necessary time to ensure that the most important systems are stable, clean, and enjoyable from the first days of the reopening.

We have never been closer to the return of Elyon Aion.

Prepare your characters, contact your old friends, gather your legions, and choose your faction. More features, events, and surprises will be revealed as we approach the opening.

Elyon Aion 3.9 is coming back very soon.

Prepare your wings. A new adventure in Atreia is about to begin.
