So my guild used to play on a certain private server that was bug ridden etc (are pservers frowned upon here? w/e), nevertheless we enjoyed it and had a lot of fun, but some adhd and ocd guys couldn't stand not being able to finish quests so slowly people started to quit and finally we all ended up in dota2, which is still fun but we're just craving for some mmo action.


We'll be playing in NA, probably Kahrun server since some of my mates are already there, and will roll Elyos because why not.
Alright so I have a couple of questions.

1. Veteran status?
Account types, starter, veteran, gold pack. I understand that you can buy gold pack from players who sell them for kinah but that obviously isn't an option for us right now, how do we get veteran status? From what I've read, people who used to subscribe when aion was p2p instantly gets it, but what about new comers? Done some google'ing but can only find posts from several months ago.

2. How do we login in the NA aion forums?
Logging in...master account, ncsoft account, aion account, forum account. Okay what? Whenever I view the forum from the NA site, it just tells me that I apparently put the wrong login info and have X amount of times left to login and will have to wait for 15 mins. How do we login in the NA aion forums? Being able to open the forums there will probably help me answer most if not all of my questions.

3. Gearing up so we can 3-5 man instances.
A year or two ago, we went in the game like this:
Get lvl 26 coin gear, do kromede, get 33 crafted or 36 sundreched, then just continued on with coin gears until 53 where we used crafted gear and do the higher end instances.
Right now there's Atreian Atlas, I was searching stuff about how to start up easily, my friend who has been playing on Kahrun for a while said that getting lvl 26 coin gear is not a problem.
Here's what I came up with:
Make 2 lvl 30 characters to get 2x rings and 2x earrings (which will last us for quite a long time), get our kromede weapons, and from then on just use coin gears to farm DC, TL and try to do either DP or finish our miragent quests. By then all of us will probably have our own ideas of what to do with the new features and stuff.
