Aion 2: Price, Monetization and Pay2Win

Is Aion 2 Pay2Win or Pay2Progress? Aion 2 is primarily Pay2Progress, as the developers have already started their departure from Pay2Win some time ago. In summary, the following characteristics can be highlighted:

  • Pay-to-Progress in PvE
    • Those who invest real money (Quna) can directly purchase items in the auction house, thus gaining a significant time advantage in character development. Additionally, the supposedly “optional” subscription is practically mandatory for heavy players, as it grants access to essential trading functions.
  • No Pay-to-Win in PvP
    • In instanced player-versus-player battles, the purchased advantage dissipates as the game automatically adjusts the equipment of all participants to a comparable level. Here, skill determines the outcome, not wallet size.
  • Free alternative through grind
    • The system also rewards diligent free-to-play players. Earned in-game currency (Kina) can be exchanged for premium currency (Quna), allowing one to finance the battle pass completely without real money. However, a downside is that this pass applies only to a single character and not the entire account.
