The servers are running stable and you can play normally again. With that, we also conclude our ticker and dive into a lunch break to stretch our legs in Atreia. See you there!
Until next time, take care!
By the way, if you want to read a nice piece at the end (or later), I highly recommend Nicole’s Special:
11:13 AM
This means that the server maintenance ends almost a full hour earlier than originally planned. So you can get back into the game and relax while playing.
We just tested it briefly for you and you shouldn’t expect any waiting times. Have fun!
You can find the patch notes further down in the article.
Thank you for being with us and enjoy your time in Atreia!
11:11 AM
The servers are back online! I repeat: The servers are online!
10:25 AM
We peeked into the game because we are just as impatient as you, but unfortunately, no miracle happened and we are greeted, as expected, by this screen:
We probably have to wait until 12:00 PM.
9:57 AM
The servers are still offline. If you are just joining:
The server maintenance has been ongoing since 8:30 AM CEST and is scheduled to last until 12:00 PM.
We are keeping an eye on whether you can log back in sooner or if there are any delays.
9:10 AM
By the way, you can download the update now. It’s 216.6 MB large and should be done quickly.
9:03 AM
By the way, we have to inform you that you played too well in Early Access, you rascal. Therefore, NCSoft has temporarily removed the 10-player raid. You can read more about it here:
Aion 2 closes single raid because western players are too good
8:51 AM
If you need reading material for the wait and are wondering what it’s like to play in the Abyss, I can highly recommend Karsten’s experience report about it:

The patch notes are here! We’ll put them in here and also attach them at the bottom of the article so you can find them later.

The servers are now going offline. So don’t be surprised if you’re kicked out of the game, that’s intentional.
You can’t continue playing Aion 2 for the next 3 1/2 hours. We are keeping an eye on whether you can log back in sooner and whether the patch notes will be available soon.
8:00 AM
Good morning, dear Daevas! Today there is an update for Aion 2 and associated server maintenance.
It starts at 8:30 AM CEST and is scheduled to run until 12:30 PM CEST.
During this time, you cannot play unfortunately. We are there for you in the live ticker and will let you know when you can log back into the game.
When do the servers go offline? Maintenance starts at 8:30 AM CEST on October 7, 2026.
What happens then? You will not be able to play from that point on and will be kicked out of the game. During the maintenance, you will also not be able to reconnect.
How long is the maintenance supposed to last? For Europe, a maintenance period of 3 hours and 30 minutes is scheduled, as NCSoft states via Steam. The servers should be reachable again from 12:00 PM. However, the developers note that there may also be changes.
Are there already patch notes? Yes, the developers have shared the patch notes, for example, on Steam. We have compiled the complete overview for you here.

Many players are now slowly reaching the endgame, especially those who started the game in Early Access. Part of that is also the notorious Abyss, which MMORPG expert Karsten is very fond of but which also frustrated him: A content of Aion 2 is so wonderfully massively that I hate and love it equally
