Aion 2 server transfer: quick facts

NCSOFT announced transfers to ease the launch queues: if your preferred server is full, you can start on a recommended server today and move later. Because dungeons are cross-server, you won't be cut off from friends in the meantime.

Who can move where

Aion 2 has two kinds of servers in every region. Advanced Access servers opened first, in the early-access period before launch, and launch servers opened for the free-to-play release on October 5, 2026. NCSOFT has said Advanced Access characters can only move between Advanced Access servers. Each server also houses only one faction, so a transfer never changes your side of the war.

Your Abyss opponents come from the opposing server your new home is paired with, so moving servers also changes who you'll fight. Pairings are rebalanced from time to time.

Based on NCSOFT's server and matchmaking notice as of October 4, 2026. Transfers between regions haven't been mentioned, so plan on staying in your current region. See the full server list with pairings.

Will you keep your character name?

Character names only have to be unique on a single server, so the name you have now may already belong to someone on your destination server. NCSOFT hasn't explained how the global service handles that yet.

The Korean version gives a hint: during its July 2026 transfer window, transferred characters were given a temporary name and had to pick a new one on first login. If the global service works the same way, you'll want a few names ready before you move, especially if your current name is short or popular.

• Prepare three to five backups. Save them with ☆ below so they're one click away.
• Keep the sound, change the spelling. If your name is taken, try a variant: Ariel → Aryel, Ariell or Arielle.
• Newer servers have more free names. Launch servers opened later than Advanced Access servers, so short names are easier to find there.

How to get ready for October 14

1. Check your server type. Find your server in the table above to see whether it's an Advanced Access or launch server. That decides where you can go.
2. Pick a destination on the same faction. Look at population and queue times, and ask your friends or Legion where they're heading.
3. Talk to your Legion. Legion transfers haven't been announced. In the Korean version, players were told to leave their Legion before transferring.
4. Wrap up trades. Each server runs its own Market, so finish or cancel active listings to be safe.
5. Have backup names ready. Use the Aion 2 name generator or the variant maker above and save your shortlist.
6. Read the final notice. Check the official notice on October 14 for cost, limits and the transfer schedule before you confirm.

How server transfers worked in the Korean version

The Korean service ran a transfer window from July 22 to 28, 2026. These rules come from NCSOFT's Korean livestream on July 21, 2026, as summarized by Inven Global. The global service may work differently, but it's the best preview available.

The global service starts out free, so the cost above already differs. Treat the rest as a guide, not a promise.

Still unconfirmed for the global service

• How long transfers stay free, and what they'll cost afterwards
• How often you can transfer, and whether there's a cooldown
• Whether launch server characters can move between launch servers, and whether transfers between regions are possible
• What happens to your character name, Legion membership and Market listings
• Whether busy servers will cap incoming transfers

We'll update this page when NCSOFT publishes the full rules.

Transfer or start fresh?

If your main is already well geared, waiting for a transfer is usually the better deal, especially while it's free. If you're still early in the leveling curve, a new character on your target server might be just as fast and lets you claim a fresh name immediately. Either way, dungeons are cross-server, so you can group with friends on any server in the meantime.
