The forecast of version 1.5 tendency

1. Will common materials of balaur series be sold at a lowered price?

Someone said to me, version 1.5 is filled with balaurs here and there.

More places for gathering balaur materials are added and the levels of balaurs are widened, even level 25-50 players are able to kill balaurs easily in certain areas. The elite balaurs in advanced instances have a high probability to drop balaur materials. Does it mean the price of balaur materials will be reduced sharply?

2. Will the price of advanced equipment and Platinum Coin face a challenge?

We always take female players' demands seriously. Don't look down upon the cute equipment. It is attached with strong power.

The safe ways to accumulate abyss points are increased, so exchanging abyss equipment becomes easier.

New Dark Poeta, Dredgion and Steelrake Valley instances provide new ways to acquire level 40+ equipment.

Will the above factors affect the price of Level 40+ equipment and Platinum Coin?

3. Will the new habit of defending stronghold be formed?

I also noticed that many players prefer attacking Abyss Stronghold to defending it.

Stronghold Secret Room is a good place where level 30-40 devas can accumulate abyss points and is also an important position to occupy the whole Abyss Stronghold. Will it become a cause to motivate players to defend the Stronghold? We can only wait and see!

The above is the analysis and prediction on version 1.5 brought by the "omnipotent" Aion marketing manager.

Some journalist asked, "besides the instances, would you go on predicting the other versions?" And he answered as follow:

As the marketing manager, no matter how "omnipotent" I am, one thing I cannot change is that it is only 24 hours a day.

I have no alternative in front of the full arrangements, to be a marketing manager of a popular game, you have to pay much more beyond your imagination.

However, for the sake of all loyal players, I often say to myself: Come on, OK?

As a marketing manager who always thinks highly of players, I will try my best to spare time on the game prediction and analysis. Please stick to this article. I will update it now and then, so just stay tuned!

Damn shu , such usefull and good info, thanks again :D
