Mid-raid disconnects and sudden “server unavailable” messages are never fun. If Aion 2 kicked you out today, relax: it’s the planned weekly maintenance, not a surprise outage.

Aion 2 Maintenance Timings : Overview
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Date | Wednesday, October 14, 2026 |
| Starts | 6:30 AM UTC / 8:30 AM CEST / about 12:00 PM IST |
| Duration | Official notices say 3.5 to 4 hours |
| Expected return | Roughly 10:00 to 10:30 AM UTC (about 3:30 to 4:00 PM IST) |
| Affected regions | All regional servers, including EU, NA, LATAM and Asia |
| Purpose | Weekly reset and update deployment |
The 3.5 hour estimate comes from NCSoft’s Steam notice, while the official Discord mentioned four hours. Sportskeeda’s coverage expects the servers back at about 12:30 PM CEST. It’s safest to plan for the longer window.
Why the Servers Went Down
This is the second weekly maintenance of the launch period. It deploys the weekly reset, so your weekly checklist refreshes once you’re back in. Unlike last week, all regions are expected to return at the same time, so nobody gets a head start.
Full patch notes had not been detailed in advance, and another hotfix may follow.
What to Do While You Wait
- Plan your weekly runs. Decide which activities you’ll tackle first after the reset.
- Check the Spacetime Rift timers so you don’t miss a spawn once servers open.
- Redeem launch rewards early. Some launch-period rewards were reported to be expiring around now, so don’t leave them to the last minute.
- Expect login queues. A flood of returning players often causes queues, so be patient.
Server Transfers Are Coming
Server transfers open after this maintenance, but the first phase is limited to eligible Early Access servers. Regular Launch Servers get a separate window starting October 21.
FAQs
Can I log in during maintenance?
No. Access is blocked and you can’t reconnect until the servers reopen.
