Aion Servers To Merge, XP Grind Softened 108
Massively reports that NCSoft's fantasy MMO Aion will soon be getting a round of server mergers to balance player populations and shore up in-game economies. A newsletter from Aion producer Chris Hager also brought word that character transfers will be an option starting in June, and NCSoft will be "offering them to all of our players for free for a limited time." This is happening in the lead-up to the game's 1.9 patch, due on June 2, which contains a number of measures to make the XP grind a bit less harsh (among other things; patch notes). They're creating more quests, increasing XP rewards from existing quests, and implementing a system that "grants you experience bonuses as you continue to play."

granted space isn't super hard to render.
You need to start somewhere if you hope to render an apple pie.

XP can mean many things. My first thought when I read the title was it was either about Windows XP or Extreme Programming. The farthest thing from my mind was "experience points".
