How much does an AION 2 server transfer cost?

In the current transfer period the base fee and the per-character fee are both 0 Quna. You only pay 1,000 Quna for each extra character slot you need on the destination server.

When can launch servers transfer in AION 2?

Launch server characters can transfer after the October 20 (PDT) / October 21 (CEST) maintenance until before the October 27 (PDT) / October 28 (CET) maintenance, during their region's daily windows.

Can I transfer to the other faction or another region?

No. Transfers only go to a server of the same faction in the same region, and Early Access servers can only transfer to other Early Access servers.

Why does AION 2 say server transfer is unavailable?

Transfers are closed outside your region's daily hours, and each server has caps on transfers in and out that refresh every hour. You also need a level 10+ character standing in a village, no Legion, no active Duty missions and nothing unclaimed in mail, Shop Storage or the Market.

Do skins and pets transfer to the new server?

Yes. Closet skins and pets move with the transferring characters and are removed from the old server, so characters you leave behind can no longer use them. Duplicates become reward tickets or Pass Coin refunds.

AION 2 Server Transfer: Dates, Cost, Rules and Limits

The details below come from NCSoft’s Server Transfer Products Info and Server Transfer Q&A notices (October 9, updated October 14) and its October 14 notice on transfer limits.

When can you transfer servers in AION 2?

The first transfer period is split into two weeks:

Week	Who can transfer	Opens	Closes
1	Early Access servers, to other Early Access servers only	After the Oct 13 (PDT) / Oct 14 (CEST) maintenance	Before the Oct 20 (PDT) / Oct 21 (CEST) maintenance
2	Launch servers	After the Oct 20 (PDT) / Oct 21 (CEST) maintenance	Before the Oct 27 (PDT) / Oct 28 (CET) maintenance

Week 1 opened with the same October 13 (PDT) maintenance that started the Halloween event.

Applications are only accepted during set hours each day:

Region	PDT	CEST/CET
NA East, NA West, South America	09:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00	18:00-22:00 and 00:00-04:00 (next day)
Europe	03:00-07:00 and 09:00-13:00	12:00-16:00 and 18:00-22:00
Asia	20:00-00:00 (next day) and 02:00-06:00	05:00-09:00 and 11:00-15:00

Which servers are Early Access servers?

NCSoft’s server list names these pairs (Elyos / Asmodian) as Advanced Access servers. Everything else in a region is a launch server.

Region	Early Access server pairs
Europe	Siel / Israphel, Nezekan / Zikel, Vaizel / Triniel, Kaisinel / Lumiel, Yustiel / Marchutan, Ariel / Azphel, Fregion / Ereshkigal, Meslamtaeda / Beritra, Hithanya / Nemon
NA East, Asia	Siel / Israphel, Nezekan / Zikel, Vaizel / Triniel
NA West, Latin America	Siel / Israphel, Nezekan / Zikel

How much does a server transfer cost?

Charge	Price
Base cost (once per account)	0 Quna
Each character transferred	0 Quna
Each extra character slot needed on the destination server	1,000 Quna

NCSoft’s own example: moving 6 characters to a server where only 4 slots are free costs 2,000 Quna for the two extra slots. Character slots you expanded on your current server stay there and don’t follow you.

What are the rules and requirements?

The rules for the whole period:

Same faction and same region only.
One transfer per account for the entire transfer period, from one server to one other server.
No limit on how many characters you move in that one transfer.

Each character you transfer must:

Be level 10 or higher and on the same server as the others.
Stand in a village, not in the Abyss, a Spacetime Rift or a dungeon.
Have no Legion and no pending Legion application.
Have no active Duty missions.

Your account also can’t have anything unclaimed: no Market listings, uncollected items or unpaid sale proceeds, nothing waiting in Shop Storage (Founder’s Pack items included), and no unclaimed mail on the transferring character.

How do you apply?

During your region’s window, open In-Game Shop > Server Transfer.
Choose the characters to move and the destination server. If a server can’t take transfers, the interface tells you.
The purchase button unlocks once every requirement is met.
The transfer starts, you are sent to the title screen, and the account can’t log in until it finishes. It takes at least a minute, longer when many requests are queued. PURPLE users get a PURPLE PUSH notification when it’s done.
On first login the character is named “@TemporaryName” and you pick a new name. Your old name is unavailable if someone on the destination server already has it.

A completed transfer can’t be canceled or reversed.

Why is server transfer unavailable for you?

You are outside your region’s daily hours, or transfers out of your server have closed.
Each server has a cap on transfers in and transfers out, and the remaining counts refresh every hour on the hour. A full server closes early for that round and you can try again in the next one.
The caps apply even if you already have a character on the destination server.
NCSoft says a server flooded with requests may have transfers in and out closed permanently.

What carries over, and what doesn’t?

Almost everything tied to the character moves with it: inventory, Character Storage (including bought slots), Kina in the inventory and Character Storage, Abyss Points, Membership, Daeva Pass progress, skills and Stigmas, quests, wings, Pantheon, Arcana, Monolith, Empyrean Traces, titles, achievements, Season Missions and Season Rank Points, Supply Requests, dungeon reward counts, Abyss time, and your Friends and Blocked lists. Quna and Mileage are added to whatever you already hold on the destination server.

Watch these exceptions:

Thing	What happens
Server Storage items	Not transferred; move them to the character first. Only the expansion count moves (the higher of the two servers applies)
Mail Block List	Not transferred
Closet skins and pets	Move with the transferring characters and are removed from the old server, so characters left behind can’t use them
Duplicate Special Pet	You get a Pet Reward Ticket and can request a refund through Customer Support
Duplicate non-customizable decor skin	You get a Skin (Single) Reward Ticket for a “300 Quna” Shop item
Duplicate Pass Shop pet or skin	Refunded in Pass Coins
Genus Insight	Choose the current or destination server’s progress; the current server’s progress resets either way
Server-based shop limits	The higher purchase count of the two servers applies, so transferring doesn’t give extra purchases
Abyss Corridor	Inaccessible if it hasn’t been captured on the destination server

Both reward tickets expire at the regular maintenance on November 24 (PST) / November 25 (CET).

What changes in the shop during the transfer period?

The October 13 (PDT) / October 14 (CEST) patch notes move Instant Clear Ticket: Daily Dungeon (Bound) and Soul Crystal (Bound) from Wind Breeze Merchants > Special to Substance Morph. Odyle Energy (Bound) loses its 16-per-server weekly cap, and its per-character weekly limit rises from 4 to 20. Lower Abyss Rift Stone (7-day) is on sale there for two weeks.

What hasn’t been announced yet?

Future transfer periods and prices: NCSoft says the product may return in the same or a similar form and that transfers would be free initially, but no later date or price has been announced.
Cross-faction or cross-region moves: not offered in this period, and no plans have been announced.
Per-server caps: NCSoft hasn’t published the numbers, only that the remaining transfer counts update every hour on the hour.
