Double XP in Aion

This is especially true if you're stuck in a level spread that's seemingly impossible to grind past without developing a desire to redistribute objects on your desk in a forceful manner. Double XP weekends can be a real life saver for the jaded MMO gamer. That's why we're here to tell you that Aion is having one starting on Friday, January 22nd -- although make sure to take a gander at the official post, as it contains the starting time for each server timezone. The weekend ends at 8am (server time) the following Monday, so check which timezone your character's server is set to and plan accordingly. For some players, they've even taken to rocketing to level 50 as fast as possible so that they can fund a level 30-40 alternative character with the best gear (and consumables) possible, and then they simply go rifting all day, running around enemy territories so they can terrorize the other players who are trying to get to level 50 so they can do the same thing. It is here that one of Aion's biggest problems comes into play. To us, it seems as though Aion is meant to be played more slowly than its North American competitor, World of Warcraft. Fans of Final Fantasy XI may remember the joys of slowly advancing through their levels, taking breaks to level their crafting, or participate in a crucial mission.
