Big things are happening in the world of Aika Online. Late last year, the title released its second expansion, and today the devs have announced a real-world expansion of sorts.The free-to-play fantasy MMORPG centered around multinational conflict is forging into the European market on February 17th, and gPotato is hosting a smattering of celebratory events to mark the occasion. Chief among them is the "Europe, We're Up" double XP promotion, in addition to a login event that gives players the opportunity to win $10,000 in prizes as well as unique in-game loot.
Aika pits five nations against each other in a neverending struggle for control of Arcan. Castle sieges, relic thefts, and customized battlegrounds are a few of the features players can take advantage of while waging large-scale warfare sans a monthly subscription fee.

I may be wrong but I think the Europeans for a long time have been able to play Aika at T3FUN

@DirtyLary exactly the same as any other F2P MMO. The more you pay the stronger you are

Yea, last year they allowed everyone to play, then for a few weeks they kept us in limbo now knowing if we were going to get IP-banned, and then they eventually did implement a ban on all new accounts being created from outside NA. That's because Gpotato only bought the rights for NA, and the company who made the game had a global version on the way to cater to the rest of the world. And now they expand to EU? Doubt I'll trust them again.

Yes, i played this on the NA servers back then for a few weeks. Was pretty good, and I'll certainly be looking at the EU version when it hits. gPot are making a good name for themselves in my book with an interesting stable of quality games.
