AION 2 server transfer checklist: dates, cost and rules (Global, Oct 2026)
When can I transfer servers?
NC opened the first server transfer window after the weekly maintenance on October 13 (PDT) / October 14 (CEST), 2026. It runs in two weeks:
| Week | Who can transfer | Period |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Early Access servers only | Oct 14 – Oct 21, 2026 (CEST, maintenance to maintenance) |
| 2 | Launch servers only | Oct 21 – Oct 28, 2026 (CEST/CET, maintenance to maintenance) |
You cannot apply at any time of day. Each region has two daily windows:
| Region | Window 1 | Window 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Europe | 03:00–07:00 PDT / 12:00–16:00 CEST | 09:00–13:00 PDT / 18:00–22:00 CEST |
| NA East, NA West, Latin America | 09:00–13:00 PDT / 18:00–22:00 CEST | 15:00–19:00 PDT / 00:00–04:00 CEST (next day) |
| ASIA | 20:00–00:00 PDT / 05:00–09:00 CEST | 02:00–06:00 PDT / 11:00–15:00 CEST |
After October 25 Europe switches to CET, so the CEST times above shift by one hour in local time. NC made small changes to the first-day times; always check the official notice.
How much does a transfer cost?
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Base cost | 0 Quna (once per account) |
| Per character transferred | 0 Quna |
| Extra character slot on the target server | 1,000 Quna per slot |
Example from NC: if you move 6 characters and the target server has only 4 free slots, you pay 2,000 Quna for 2 extra slots.
What are the rules?
- Same region and same faction only.
- One transfer per account for the whole period, from one server to one server.
- No limit on how many characters you move in that one transfer.
- Early Access servers transfer only to Early Access servers.
Character requirements
Before the purchase button activates, each character must:
- be Lv. 10 or higher;
- stand in a village (not in the Abyss, a Spacetime Rift or a dungeon);
- have no Legion and no pending Legion application;
- have no active Duty.
Your account must also have nothing unclaimed: no active or unsold Market listings, no unclaimed Market proceeds, no items left in Shop Storage (including Founder’s Pack items), and no unread mail on the character.
Why can a transfer close early?
Every server has a cap on transfers in and out. NC refreshes the available count every hour on the hour. If a source or target server hits its cap, you must wait for the next round. NC also warned that a server with too many requests may close transfers in and out permanently.
What carries over?
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Kina in inventory and Character Storage | Moves with the character |
| Quna and Mileage | Moves and adds to the target server balance |
| Special Quai Membership | Moves and combines with membership on the target server |
| Skins, Pets, Wings, Arcana, Pantheon | Move; skins and pets are removed from the old server |
| Season rank points (Transcendence, Nightmare, Ascension Trial, Abyss, Arena) | Move and are removed from the old server |
| Season Missions, Supply Requests, dungeon reward counters | Move with the character |
| Character name | Replaced by a temporary name; you choose a new one |
| Extra character slots | Stay on the old server |
Duplicate shop pets and skins become reward tickets. NC lists the details in its transfer Q&A.
Before you transfer: checklist
- Check the hours for your region.
- Leave your Legion and finish or drop Duties.
- Collect Market sales, Shop Storage items and mail.
- Move the character to a village.
- Count free slots on the target server.
FAQ
Is the AION 2 server transfer free?
During the October 2026 window the base cost and the per-character cost are 0 Quna. You pay 1,000 Quna per extra character slot only if the target server lacks free slots.
Can I transfer to the other faction?
No. Transfers work only between servers of the same faction and the same region.
Can I move from an Early Access server to a Launch server?
No. Characters on Early Access servers can transfer only to other Early Access servers.
Why does the game say transfer is unavailable?
Either you are outside your region’s transfer hours, or the source or target server reached its hourly transfer cap. Try again in the next round.
Will my character name stay the same?
No. After the move the character gets a temporary name, and you set a new name afterwards.
Does my membership move with me?
Yes. The Special Quai Membership moves to the target server and is combined with any membership you already have there.
