A.) Introduction
Hello everyone, I've decided to delve into the world of Aion and create a guide on how to set up your very own private server. I will be creating this guide using the resources provided in this section. Please let me know if you find any flaws in this guide. I am new to Aion private server development, and I would be glad to fix the mistakes I've made. Links and downloads necessary for server set up will be provided below. Here are some other threads you might want to check out:

C.)Server Guide
1.) First off, once you have everything downloaded, you might want to organize everything in a new folder so you can keep track of everything.
Next, we can configure the Aion connection in Navicat. Open your Navicat, and click "New Connection" in the upper right hand corner. Fill in the blanks as follows:
Code:
Connection Name: AION
Host Name/IP Address: localhost
Port: 3306
User Name: root
Password: your desired password goes here. [COLOR="Red"]MUST MATCH YOUR MYSQL PASSWORD.[/COLOR]
You will notice the connection name has been setup. Don't worry about any of the options under your connection. Right click on your connection name and click "New Database" and enter two new databases:
Code:
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]ae_server_gs
ae_server_ls[/COLOR]
ae_server_gs will be your game server database and
ae_server_ls will be your login server database.
2.) After you have done that, right click on
ae_server_gs and click "Execute SQL File" and locate the .sql files in the SQL folder. For
ae_server_gs, you will need to execute all the .sql files in the 'gameserver' folder. Do the same for the loginserver. You will notice that the .sql files have been executed and you will see tables such as: "blocks," "droplists," "friends," and etc.
3.) Navigate into your ae_server_ls database and double-click on the table "gameservers." Edit the fields as follows:
Code:
ID: 1
Mask: 127.0.0.1
Password: 123
That concludes the Navicat configuration for this setup guide. Aion is designed for auto-registration; your accounts will be saved to your databases.
4.) Now go into your Aion server files folder and open the 'gameserver' folder. Open your 'config' folder, and then open the database.txt - here you will edit your database information. The password may be set to "123" so you will need to change it to your assigned MySQL password. Repeat this step for the loginserver file.
5.) To edit the server rates, locate the gameserver.properties file and scroll to the bottom - "Rate's configs." Here you can edit the experience rate and drop rate. You can also configure your IP settings here too. You can edit various information in the loginserver.properties file also.
6.) Next you will need to install the necessary clients and version of the game if you haven't done so already. The below list of downloads was taken from dannybest's thread:

You should be ready to go! Launch your loginserver and gameserver .bats. Navigate to your Aion game folder and launch your play.bat, and have fun!

Note: You might want to dump the playfileforaion.bat into the actual Aion game folder. Some experience problems if they don't.
Note: If you want to connect to a WAN connection, just replace 127.0.0.1 in the .bat file with an existing IP.
