If you're an Aion fan and are anxiously awaiting the forthcoming 1.9 patch (and honestly who isn't), you'll want to head over to the European website and check out the recently released patch-centric video podcast. NCsoft producers Chris Hager and Lani Blazier, as well as community manager Andrew Beegle, talk about everything from UI customization, to counter-stun mechanics, to reduced soul healing and travel costs.
"We have drastically reduced the prices of soul healing, soul binding, and transportation, and I think players are going to find it's a big win. I know we do internally because it is really expensive to heal your soul, bind to a location, and fly places," Blazier says. The trio also discuss the new equipment rental system and drop hints about a large amount of new quests coming in the update.
Check out the full podcast, and don't forget to peruse our exclusive interviews with Chris Hager about 2.0 as well as Aion in general.

At home, in my own room, I am sometimes moved to cry out, "Oh, Miss Blazier!" in a transport of love.

They demonstrated over easter weekend they have the power to change soul heal costs.
Why don't they just change it now?

Because they have to save line-items like this to be included in 1.9 to help build the appearance that they are adding extra value with an otherwise anemic patch.

It must be difficult for that dragon to eat anything, with those spears coming out the side of his cheeks like that.

Ya know.....when folks type things like "gee i missed her" or "glad he is back", you should think for a minute before typing, other folks are going to read your blog.
Running a game into the pavement and letting a community run rampant without fixing it isnt something to be proud of, and giving happy feet comments to producers that quite frankly suck ass, does not make any sense either.
Pathetic quote of the day..........."Its a big win!"
