Aion 2: Server Down – Maintenance on October 8, 2026, Postponed

Thursday, October 8, 2026

4:03 PM

The servers seem to be stable again and, apparently, there are no more problems. Therefore, we will end our ticker for today and will be back for the server maintenance tomorrow!

3:10 PM

The previously postponed server maintenance will now take place tomorrow at the following times (via Discord):

• Date: October 9, 2026
• Time: 8:30 AM CEST
• Duration: approximately 1 hour 30 minutes

We will accompany the maintenance for you again tomorrow in another ticker and will be live for you.

3:07 PM

According to developers, the problems have been fixed and everything should work again. Here’s what they wrote on Discord:

“The issue with server stability on EU servers has been resolved. The following servers were affected:

• Elyos: Nezekan, Kaisinel, Ariel, Meslam, Nania, Luteros, Daminu, Bakarma, Kochi, Tiamat
• Asmodian: Zikel, Lumiel, Azphel, Beritra, Ulgorn, Odar, Kromede, Baba, Fafnir, Agnita, Atiel

A compensation for the downtime will be provided shortly.”

So there will be a small reward for your patience in your inboxes.

2:55 PM

In the EU region, there still seem to be problems. In the official Discord it says:

“The issues caused by the cloud service outage on the EU server are still ongoing. We will inform you as soon as the problem has been resolved.”

We will keep an eye out for any news for you.

Meanwhile, we have no problems connecting to the servers. Feel free to write to us in the comments if you have problems and what they are.

12:48 PM

Stand down! On the official Discord there was just a notification that the maintenance has been postponed to a later date. More info on this will follow.

11:48 AM

On the official Aion website it is stated, by the way, that the maintenance could last 2 hours. In that case, the servers would be back online at 2:45 PM. On Steam it states 1 hour instead. All we can do is wait and see!

11:43 AM

In the course of the maintenance, the developers want to improve not only the server stability. The second task revolves around wings:

• The flight power of the 4 wings obtained through quests has been increased by 500 (total of 2,000).
  • Daeva’s Lesser Wings (Elyos/Asmodian): 2,000 → 2,500
  • Daeva’s Advanced/High-Quality/Masterful Wings (Elyos/Asmodian): 500 → 1,000

11:35 AM

Hello everyone! We are unplanned opening our live ticker from October 7, because some EU players are experiencing server issues. At least that’s what the developers report on the official Discord.

Therefore, there will be an unplanned maintenance phase starting at 12:45 PM. It is expected to last for one hour. We will keep you updated.

11:44 AM

The servers are stable and you can play normally again. Therefore, we will also end our ticker and take a lunch break to stretch our legs in Atreia. See you there!

Until next time, take care!

If you want to read a nice piece at the end (or later), I can highly recommend Nicole’s special:

11:13 AM

Thus, the server maintenance will end almost an hour earlier than originally planned. You can therefore get back into the game and relax.

We have just quickly tested 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 have cheekily checked into the game because we are just as impatient as you, but unfortunately, no miracle happened, and we are greeted by this screen as expected:

So we will likely have to wait until 12:00 PM.

9:57 AM

The servers are still offline. If you are just joining us:

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 out to see if you can get back in sooner or if something is delayed.

9:10 AM

By the way, you can already download the update. It is 216.6 MB large and should be completed quickly.

9:03 AM

We must inform you that you have played too well in Early Access, you scamps. Therefore, NCSoft has temporarily removed the 10-player raid. You can read more about it here:

Aion 2 shuts down the only raid because western players are too good

8:51 AM

If you need reading material for the waiting time and are wondering what it’s like to play in the Abyss, I can highly recommend Karsten’s report on it:

8:41 AM

The patch notes are here! We will put them here and also link them at the bottom of the article, so you can find them later.

Patch notes from October 7, 2026

Improvements and Bug Fixes

Improvements

• Buyers of the founder’s package can now use skins, titles, and other items also for other characters and on other servers.
  • Buyers of the founder’s package can acquire items they do not yet own from the special shop for free, according to their founder’s package level.
  • The free special shop for the founder’s package is available to all characters on all servers until a closure announcement is made.

• A problem where certain emote commands in the chat do not work properly will be fixed.

8:30 AM

The servers are now going offline. So do not be surprised if you are kicked out of the game; that is intentional.

For the next 3.5 hours, unfortunately, you will not be able to continue playing Aion 2. We keep an eye out for you to see if you can get back in sooner and if the patch notes are coming soon.

8:00 AM

Good morning, dear Daevas! Today there is an update for Aion 2, and with it also a server maintenance.

It starts at 8:30 AM CEST and is scheduled to run until 12:30 PM CEST.

During this time, unfortunately, you cannot play. We are live for you in the ticker and will let you know when you can get back into the game.
