NCsoft has temporarily disabled character creation on ten of their Aion servers. The purpose behind this move is population distribution, but also to take action against players whom are participating in activities which are prohibited in the game. This action has had an unfortunate side effect for some, as many players now find themselves banned but claim no wrong doing. Aion player Rehevkor tells VE3D that he logged in to find his account banned. Rifting: As discussed earlier Rifting is the second form of PvP in Aion. Rifting is a lot less common then The Abyss PvP for the sole purpose of finding a Rift is much harder then finding action in The Abyss. There isn't anything really to explain about Rifts, so below I'll give you Rift locations as well as some tips for Rifting. Rifts have level requirements to enter. Usually the further away from the Fortress the Rift is the higher level requirement to enter.

I know that I didn't do anything to get banned (seriously, I've never been banned from anything) and that seems to be the case with the folks in this thread as well. I know NCSoft is working on the gold spamming problem, but I don't think banning everyone is the best approach! Some have said that people using proxies have been banned. Another theory is that even if a player buys a market item from a gold-seller, they are found guilty by association. Nothing official from NCsoft as of yet. Rifts also have a set amount of people they will allow to enter before they disappear. The closer the Rift is to the fort the less people it will let in before it disappears. If you kill too many low level players you will get a curse that will display you as a skull on the map. Everyone is able to see this so when you get the curse, no where is safe.
