NC has published four account restriction notices for AION 2 Global since October 11, 2026. Together they cover 32,351 accounts.

Notice	Time of action	Accounts restricted
Account Restrictions	Oct 10, 23:00 PDT / Oct 11, 08:00 CEST	4,996
Account Restrictions (Oct 12 PDT / Oct 13 CEST)	Oct 12, 23:00 PDT / Oct 13, 08:00 CEST	10,000
Account Restrictions (Oct 14)	Oct 14, 00:00 PDT / 09:00 CEST	9,422
Account Restrictions (15 Oct PDT / 16 Oct CEST)	Oct 15, 22:00 PDT / Oct 16, 06:00 CEST	7,933

Why accounts were restricted

All four notices cite the same sections of the AION 2 Operation Policy sanctions table:

• Gold farming and bot operations: macros, bots and organized play patterns typical of gold farming;
• Use of unauthorized programs;
• Real-money trading (RMT).

The notices of October 14 and October 16 also name economy abuse: abnormal trading patterns that disrupt the game economy. NC says restrictions follow a review, and that normal play, including long grinding sessions, does not trigger them.

Security locks are different

Separately, NC temporarily locked a small number of accounts as a precaution, for example after access from a risky device or connection. NC states that a security lock is not a penalty; it protects the account until ownership is verified. Affected players should contact Customer Support at help.plaync.com.

Context

Before launch NC already warned that buying Kina or Quna from unauthorized sellers breaks its Terms of Service. The Operation Policy lists bot operations and unauthorized programs with an integrated account ban, and RMT with suspensions of 30 to 90 days.
