Apparently, there’s an overwhelmingly positive response of the Aion community to the double XP weekends because NCSoft is introducing another one of these, mere two weeks after the last one. Aion Life’s scientific team sat down to determine why the community likes double XP weekends so much. The image above is the result of their 2 month research that cost hundreds of millions. You guys check out when double XP weekend starts on your server below, while we feed our science team to the alligators.
NCSoft decided to share the love with its Aion player base by enabling double XP weekend this Valentine’s day. On Friday, February 12 at 8 p.m. (server time), double experience will be enabled and run through the weekend, ending on Monday at 8 a.m. (server time). Here are some awesome quotes from the comment section of this news post on the official site:

So many people are going to be breaking up that weekend…I can see it now. “You rather be in a virtual environment talking to avatars then spending time in real life talking to your girlfriend?”
Blank Look “Uh…yeah.”
Kyrolen [Triniel]
So lucky you single school kids…

Oh good, now this Valentines day can be just like the Valentine’s Day Massacre cuz if I log on while she’s home or awake I’m gonna get massacred. Oh and no, I’m not leaving my Kinah to any of you.
We’ve recently received an interesting e-mail with a pretty large attachment. This one comes to us from Freestyle along with a quick description: Have you seen the latest fashion?
If you have some interesting moments to share with us, just e-mail us at , along with your name and we will post them out here and give you the credit.
We received some feedback on this particular post and I wanted to clarify a few things concerning NCWest security.
There are discussions on Aion Source forums and other Aion related forums and websites about the recent wave of hacked game accounts by the gold selling companies and what NCSoft is doing about it. There is a vocal group of people on these sites and forums blaming NCSoft for having their accounts hacked (or their friends’ accounts hacked). In one of these I came across the strip published below and found it to be very humorous. Here’s why. I find it absolutely ridiculous that it would be possible in any way to have the security so severely breached in a multi-million dollar company like NCSoft. That’s why I posted it under the humor category.
In theory there would be two points of entry for hackers to access your account data. In theory they could hack into NCSoft’s site and get the data from there. Without going into much detail I find this idea so ridiculous it amuses me. I’ve been in much smaller companies than NCSoft and that idea would be ridiculous even there.
The other point of entry are players themselves. They download something onto their computer, visit a site promising them easy leveling, browse an “underground forum” promising them inside secrets of the game or click a link in an email that looks like it comes from some official source. What you get is a program or a Trojan that keylogs you and gets your private information. To paraphrase Tamat, in almost all cases the reason for compromised accounts is RMT related activity initiated by the players themselves.
Occam’s razor (the simplest explanation or strategy tends to be the best one) guides us to one simple conclusion:
There are no security breaches in NCSoft and they are certainly working very hard to prevent one from ever happening.
We, at Aion Life, will also try and join the fight against RMT in our own way. We hope we’ll be able to make some sort of announcement concerning this in the next 10 days.
