Yes. AION 2 Global lets friends on different servers play dungeons and other instanced content together without moving their characters. That does not make every activity cross-server: party access depends on the region and the activity, while the open world, Legions and the market remain tied to a home server. Transfers can remove some of those barriers, but they cannot freely change a character’s region or faction.
The global PC service launched on October 5, 2026, through Steam and PURPLE. This guide covers global-service rules available as of October 19, 2026, rather than the separate Korean or Taiwanese rules.
Which activities work across servers?
| Situation | Can you play together? | Practical limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Dungeons and other instances on different servers in the same region | Yes, when that activity supports cross-server parties. | It does not put you in the same open-world map. |
| Early Access and launch servers | Yes, for instanced activities that connect servers. | The two server types have different transfer restrictions. |
| Friends belonging to opposite factions | Some instanced activities allow members of both factions, but this is not a universal feature. | Legions, open-world progression and faction combat do not become cooperative. |
| Open-world exploration or the same Legion | You need the same home server and a compatible faction. | An Elyos–Asmodian PvP pairing is not a shared home server. |
| Trading in the same market | Each character uses their home server’s market. | Do not assume a region-wide market is already active. |
| Friends in different global service regions | Do not expect cross-region instance parties. | Character transfers between global regions are unavailable. |
| One player on Steam, another on PURPLE | Yes: both launchers access the same global servers. | They still need compatible region and activity choices. |
NC described dungeons and other instanced activities as cross-server content in its server communications. The team also named group activities such as Expeditions and Transcendence Dungeons; some activities can accommodate rival factions. Restrictions differ by instance, so this should not be generalized to every mission, raid or social feature. The Abyss, for example, pairs opposing servers for PvP rather than creating a cooperative world for both factions.
Choose region, faction and server before creating a character
A group planning to stay together should agree on its region, faction and server before starting. South America is the relevant regional choice for most Brazilian players. Server names can recur across regions, so saying only “Siel” or “Israphel” is not enough to establish that two people selected the same world.
Each server belongs to either Elyos or Asmodians. When an Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian server, that relationship is for faction encounters and can change for balancing. Players who want the same Legion and shared open-world adventures should select the same faction and home server. Cross-server dungeon parties do not change that requirement.
Free server transfers: dates, cost and eligibility
During AION 2 Global’s initial transfer window, the transfer itself costs 0 Quna per account and per character. However, each additional character slot costs 1,000 Quna if the destination lacks room for the characters being moved. Only one transfer operation is permitted per account across both weeks, from one source server to one destination, with the selected characters moved together.
| Source server type | October 2026 window | Additional restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Early Access | October 14–21, between maintenances. | Only to another Early Access server. |
| Launch servers | October 21–28, between maintenances. | Same region and faction, subject to destination capacity. |
In South America, the announced daily request periods are 1 p.m.–5 p.m. and 7 p.m.–11 p.m., Brasília time. Start and end dates depend on maintenance, and individual servers may restrict incoming or outgoing transfers when capacity limits are reached. These limits are refreshed periodically. Check the in-game notice before proceeding; the free period does not guarantee that every destination remains available.
A transfer does not change Elyos into Asmodians, does not move a character to another region and does not allow an Early Access character to move to an ordinary launch server. Friends who picked different factions or regions may have to create a new character. A further free transfer window after October 28 is not guaranteed.
What happens to items, progress, names and cosmetics?
| Data or item | Global transfer outcome |
|---|---|
| Level, quests, skills, equipment and character progression | They move with selected characters, including Daeva Pass progress. |
| Cube inventory, Character Storage and Kina stored in those places | They move to the destination server. |
| Server Storage and Kina deposited there | They remain on the old server; withdraw them before transferring. |
| Quna, Mileage, membership, pets, Closet skins and server-based titles | They merge into the destination under specific rules and are removed from the source, which can affect characters left behind. |
| Character-slot expansions purchased on the old server | They do not move; destination slots may require Quna. |
| Character name | It is temporarily replaced; you choose a new name when you first log in at the destination. |
| Legion membership, market listings and unclaimed mail | They must be resolved before applying; your Legion is not automatically transferred. |
The biggest trap is confusing Character Storage with Server Storage. Character Storage travels with its contents; items and Kina in Server Storage stay behind. Pets and Closet skins require another check: they are removed from the old server when integrated into the destination, so characters remaining there may lose access. Server-based achievements and purchase limits also follow specific reconciliation rules, not an unrestricted addition.
How to transfer without leaving valuable items behind
- Check whether your source server belongs to the Early Access or launch week, and confirm your destination’s region, faction and availability.
- Raise every selected character to level 10 or above and move them into a village, outside dungeons, the Abyss and rifts.
- Leave your Legion and withdraw pending applications; complete any active Duty missions.
- Clear market listings and proceeds, claim mail and Shop Storage items, including Founder’s Pack rewards.
- Move anything you want to keep out of Server Storage and into inventory or the transferring character’s Character Storage.
- During your region’s permitted hours, open Shop > Server Transfer, check the characters, available slots and target server, then confirm your single request.
A completed transfer cannot be canceled or reversed. Afterward, you must choose a new name for each transferred character and join a Legion on the destination server if desired. Before spending Quna on extra slots, try cross-server instanced content first: players who only want to run dungeons with friends may not need to transfer.
