Aion is rebalancing its economy (and removing a lot of money) with Awakened Legacy

You there! How much money do you have in Aion? Because it might just be too darn much. One of the things being done for the Awakened Legacy update involves “rebalancing” the in-game economy, which means that a lot of your existing Kinah (the main currency) will be replaced with Gold Bars (a new type of currency). Kinah in your mailbox or inventory will be converted at a rate of 30 million Kinah for one Gold Bar, and Gold Bars can in turn be exchanged for… about 12 million Kinah.

This sounds like a pretty straightforward reduction of cash, but there’s also a new shop that takes Gold Bars exclusively along with additional conversions of Essence Cores into Gold Bars, which makes everything a bit more murky. The game is also introducing new uses for Luna which were previously limited to NCoins and converting some other no longer useful items into more useful equivalents. Check out the full set of changes, and if you want to put your money into less liquid assets in the hopes of losing less in the long run, you’ve got until October 24th to do so.
