You must upgrade your armor and everything you can until you reach the last level.
From the first level if you can upgrade something, upgrade it. Most of you are experienced from the World of Warcraft and from Lineage. If you play official Aion then if you follow the quests and do what it tells you it will be easy and funny to build your character, but if you play in pvp server (like me) you must boost your character and build a party as soon as possible. If you want to survive and be one of the top player! Now the point that you can reach until level 50 is the most importand to me and the most good. In official mmorpgs, the big levels is problem bicause its realy hard to xp your player until level 80. Level 50 is a good crossline between your game experience and your game pleasure. Enjoy every momment in any server you prefer to play. Private or Official is a big question that wants more time, and at least 2 years gameplay from the first day that the game will be at shops...(i don't like to pay for play, because i think that the game is something special and is for everyone. i will continue in pvp servers until the day that i will be rich
