Aion2 celebrated its first anniversary with a large in-person festival in Seoul, drawing more than 8,000 people to the aT Center to thank players for a year since the game's official launch. Lines began before dawn and swelled through the morning, turning into a crowd that wrapped around nearby sidewalks and subway entrances even after scheduled entry times.
The waiting line grew to roughly 4,000 people by midday, and on-site arrivals plus pre-registered winners all received special coupons at the entrance. Inside, the first floor offered a commemorative T-shirt customization area; about 400 people were waiting just to design and print their shirts, according to on-site reports. The main program ran on the second floor, featuring an opening ceremony and a lineup of activities that included mini-games modeled on the in-game Shugo Festa.
Guests left with physical mementos from the event: gifts handed out at the door, live performances during the opening, a preview of upcoming in-game content, and anniversary celebration events for attendees. Photographers captured the crowd and the fan moments throughout the day.
