NCSOFT has published a short notice for the global version of AION 2: on November 10 the team will perform maintenance on its platform services. This is not a patch and not a content update – it is work on the account layer behind the game, and while it runs, part of the account services will simply be unavailable.
When the maintenance starts and how long it lasts
- Start: November 10, 12:00 PST / 20:00 CET
- Duration: 3 hours and 40 minutes
- Affected services: Account Creation and Account Management
In other words, if you plan to make a new account or change something in your existing one that evening, do it before 20:00 CET or wait until the window closes.
What exactly stops working
- PlayNC website: the Account and Security services under My Page will be unavailable.
- Steam / PURPLE: new account registration will be unavailable.
The notice does not list anything beyond these services. If you are only now thinking about jumping in, the game has its own AION 2 page on Steam – just keep in mind that during the window above you will not be able to register a brand new account.
The schedule can still change
NCSOFT adds the usual disclaimer: the maintenance schedule and its details may change at any time, and any changes will be announced as an update to the same notice. So if the window shifts or the duration grows, the official announcement is the place where you will see it first.
Where to go next
This is not the first time the global version has touched its platform layer – we also covered the October 13 maintenance and the November 1 server downtime. If you would rather read about actual in-game changes, take a look at the November 4 patch, and everything else lives in our AION 2 news hub.
