NCsoft has revealed additional details about Aion: Ascension launch on April 11th and the 3.0 update.

Aion: Ascension has no subscriptions, no account tiers and no purchase requirements.

Players simply purchase the C.U.B.E., at a standard price from the new Aion store (the Black Cloud Marketplace) and they can take home as many items as they can fit in it.

Players who purchase these DIY bundles are also rewarded with bonus items, depending on the size of the C.U.B.E. they purchase. C.U.B.E.’s will be available for pre-purchase on April 4 and players will receive their new items for immediate use on April 11.

Aion players will also get the new Atreian Atlas which functions as an always-on, benevolent, veteran gamer willing to help players throughout the game. Depending on the character and the play style of the gamer, the Atreian Atlas will pull up a customized path detailing where they’ve been and a personal program detailing upcoming challenges.

In addition, some upcoming features coming in the 3.0 content update new level cap of 60, new instances and zones, housing, mounts, and more.
