New AION 2 servers: which factions use Nathara and Tassin?
NC's announcement of new European servers was published on 8 October at 17:00 Poland time (CEST). Its schedule assigns a separate server to each faction:
| EU server | Faction | Announced opening |
|---|---|---|
| Nathara | Elyos | 8 October, 18:00 CEST |
| Tassin | Asmodian | 8 October, 18:00 CEST |
The notice gives 09:00 PDT / 18:00 CEST. Poland also observed CEST on that date. When the sources were checked, no separate confirmation that the opening had taken place had been published; the table above presents NC's schedule.
What transfers were announced in October?
In its 8 October notice, NC encouraged players to join the new servers and announced character transfers in the future, allowing friends to reunite. That announcement did not yet provide a release date or the transfer conditions.
11 October addition: the rules then published set 14–21 October for Early Access servers and 21–28 October for launch servers. Both windows have ended. We retain the historical transfer schedule and its restrictions.
The developers also noted in that announcement that instances, including dungeons, support cross-server play. When choosing where to start, distinguish between entering an instance together and moving an existing character. If you want to begin on the same server as your friends, agree on a faction and server name beforehand.
AION 2 maintenance on 9 October: Poland times
The temporary maintenance notice, published on 8 October at 15:01 Poland time, scheduled the start for 9 October at 08:30 CEST. The downtime was to cover all services and last 1 hour 30 minutes.
That put the expected end at around 10:00 CEST; this time is calculated from the stated duration. The team asked players to log out in a safe location before maintenance. The work covered server stabilization and the wing changes detailed below.
The announced 500 Flight Power increase for quest wings
The update was intended to increase the Flight Power of each of the four quest reward wings by 500. The change applies to their Elyos and Asmodian equivalents:
| Wings | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Daeva’s Lesser Wings | 2000 | 2500 |
| Daeva’s Intermediate Wings | 500 | 1000 |
| Daeva’s Superior Wings | 500 | 1000 |
| Daeva’s Ultimate Wings | 500 | 1000 |
NC's reference to “2,000 in total” means the sum of four increases of 500. The notice does not announce a single +2,000 bonus for every character.
What EU outage compensation was announced?
The issue was resolved, and on 8 October at 19:17 Poland time (CEST), NC published EU outage compensation details. Players on affected servers with an active membership were to receive 1 additional membership day; those with active pet auto loot were to receive 1 extra day of that service. The extensions were scheduled for the next maintenance at that time, with no action required from players.
A Special Daeva Supply chest was also to be delivered through in-game mail, containing the following items. All listed items are Bound:
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Life Crystal (Bound) | 20 |
| Resurrection Spiritstone (Bound) | 10 |
| Battle Enhance Scroll (Bound) | 20 |
| Content Usage Ticket Selection Chest (Bound) | 5 |
| Odyle Energy (Bound) | 5 |
Elyos servers covered by compensation: Nezekan, Kaisinel, Ariel, Meslamtaeda, Nania, Luteros, Daminu, Bakarma, Kochi, Tiamat.
