The AION 2 server transfer begins after regular maintenance on October 13 (PDT) / October 14 (CEST), with two application periods and region-specific time windows. NC has published a detailed Q&A covering character slots, name changes, and which items, pets, skins and progression systems carry over, merge or are removed. Players planning to move servers should review what transfers before committing.

If Shop → Server Transfer shows as unavailable, you are either outside the designated application hours or applications from your current server have closed. Transfers cannot proceed if either the departure server or the destination server has reached its transfer capacity limit, and this applies even if you already have a character on the destination server. A notification message appears if you select a server you cannot transfer to.
Character Slots, Names and Friends
Character slots you expanded on your current server stay there. After transferring, you use the number of character slots available on the destination server. If you need more space, you can pay an additional fee to expand slots when applying. You cannot proceed if you select more characters than the maximum number of slots that can be expanded.
Every transferred character is renamed @TemporaryName, whether or not the original name is taken on the destination server. You set a new name when you first log in after the transfer. If the same name already exists on the destination server, you cannot use your previous name.
Your Friends and Blocked lists are retained, and your new character name updates in your friends’ lists.
Currency, Storage and Account Benefits
All Kina in the transferring character’s inventory and Character Storage transfers with the character. Quna and Mileage transfer in full and are added to the amounts you already have on the destination server.
Your Membership is combined with any existing Membership on the destination server and removed from your current server. Your Daeva Pass and its progress transfer as is.
Character Storage and all items in it transfer, including any extra Character Storage slots you purchased. Server Storage items do not transfer. Move anything you want to keep to the transferring character’s inventory or Character Storage first. Expanded Server Storage slots on the destination server are based on whichever is higher between your current and destination servers.
Pets, Skins and Cosmetics
Skins saved in My Appearances and your Download Library transfer with your character. Styles registered in the Style Shop remain available for download, application and settlement, but the creator’s name and server name are not updated and keep showing the original character and server.
All Closet Skins, Pets and Genus Crystals transfer and combine with those on the destination server. Everything on your current server is then removed, so characters left behind can no longer equip those Pets and Skins.
For Genus Insight, you can apply progress from either your current or destination server. If you already have a character on the destination server, you choose after the transfer. Genus Insight progress on your current server is reset either way.
In general, all Special Pets and Skins purchased from the Shop will transfer. Duplicates are handled as follows:
- Same Special Pet already owned on destination: you keep it on the destination server and receive a Pet Reward Ticket.
- Duplicate non-customizable decorative Skin: you receive a Skin (Single) Reward Ticket usable in the Shop.
- Duplicate Pass Shop Pet or non-customizable Skin: you receive a refund in Pass Coins.
With a Pet Reward Ticket, you can request a refund through Customer Support for the Pet purchased on your origin server. The Skin (Single) Reward Ticket can be used to buy the “300 Quna” item in the Shop. Both tickets are valid until regular maintenance on Tuesday, November 24 (PST) / Wednesday, November 25 (CEST) and cannot be used afterwards.
Titles and Achievements
Character-based Titles carry over as is. Server-based Titles combine with the Titles you already have on the destination server, and all Titles from your current server are removed.
Character-based Achievements carry over as is. Server-based Achievements are updated to whichever has higher progress between your current and destination servers.
Season Progress, Dungeon Rewards and Server-Wide Content
- Season Rank Points for Transcendence, Nightmare, Ascension Trial, Abyss and Arena transfer to the destination server and are removed from your current server.
- Season Missions and reward claim history transfer with your character.
- Supply Requests, including ongoing requests and claim history, transfer with your character.
- Dungeon reward information: remaining Cube Reward claim counts and attempts until guaranteed rewards transfer.
- Content usage time: Abyss time, Spacetime Rift time and Abyss Corridor usage transfer, including reward counts. If the Abyss Corridor has not been captured on the destination server, you cannot access it.
- Wings, Pantheon data, Arcana, Monolith and Empyrean Traces transfer with your character. Sync Empyrean Traces remains usable.
- Server-wide progression: reward progress for Daily Dungeons, Shugo Festival and Dimensional Invasion transfers to the destination server. Progress on your current server remains unchanged.
Shop Purchase Limits
Purchase counts for character-based limited-purchase items carry over with your character, with some exceptions. During the transfer period, Soul Crystals and Instant Clear Tickets (Server) are not sold at Wind Breeze Merchants – Special, but the same quantities can be obtained through Substance Morph. Odyle Energy, normally under a server-wide purchase limit, switches to a character-based limit during the transfer period.
In the Coin Shop, character-based limits carry over as is. For server-based limits, the higher of your two servers’ purchase counts applies. For example, with a limit of 5, a count of 2/5 on your current server and 4/5 on the destination becomes 4/5 after transfer, so transferring will not increase the purchases available to you.
