AION 2 Global Launch Patch Cuts Character Deletion to 24 Hours and Fixes Quest Bottlenecks

AION 2 Global entered commercial launch on October 5, 2026 with a maintenance build that changed more than server availability.

Character deletion now waits 24 hours instead of 168, and the minimum deletion level drops from 10 to 1. The no-input timer before returning to server selection rises from 30 minutes to three hours, while in-game announcements remain visible for ten seconds instead of three.

Quest progression also receives targeted fixes. Some required objects no longer disappear after interaction, others respawn faster, Auto Move no longer occasionally snaps a character backward near other players, and later quests should continue correctly if the client closes during an active quest. During the Poeta / Ishalgen Hero Quests, blocked players can receive a Quest Tracker teleport to Verteron or Altgard.

NC also says some boss stats were too low for the intended difficulty of a five-player party and are being adjusted. The notice does not name the bosses or provide exact numbers, so dungeon-specific percentages circulating in the community remain unconfirmed.

The Journal - Duty issue still has a temporary workaround: opening Duty before Level 45 can delay access until the following day, while leaving it unopened allows immediate access at Level 45. Until the fix is complete, avoid opening Duty early.

This applies to the Steam / PURPLE Global service only, not Korea or Taiwan.
