In a live broadcast on Tuesday, July 21, NC introduced new features, including a pet auto-loot system, and detailed upcoming balance adjustments and server transfer procedures.

Development PD Kim Namjoon and Business Director So In-seop hosted the broadcast, which outlined the server transfer process beginning July 22. They emphasized that each server has specific transfer-in and transfer-out limits. For example, less populated servers may have generous transfer-in limits but stricter transfer-out limits depending on server activity. Users planning to transfer are advised to carefully review all guidelines in advance.

The team also announced a firm stance against 'abusing,' which has recently become a concern among players. They stated that they are reviewing logs with the operations team and will issue sanctions—ranging from a 7-day suspension to a permanent ban—if clear evidence is found. Additionally, they clarified that recent rumors regarding the 'uselessness' of Chanters or damage-related issues were due to translation errors during an interview with Japanese media. They added that they are currently reviewing Healer progression to ensure players feel their growth.

Updates scheduled for July 29 were also previewed. A pet auto-loot feature will be added to automatically collect nearby items. While the initial plan was to price it at 10 million Kinah for 30 days, the team is considering a price of 5 million or 3 million Kinah based on feedback from broadcast viewers.

✅Summary of Aion 2 Live Broadcast (7/21, Tue)

1. Server Transfers: 7/22 (Wed) – 7/28 (Tue)

- Apologies for the one-week delay due to critical issues discovered with pets and the wardrobe

- Available once per account

- Opens daily at 20:00

- Base cost: 1k Quna + 200 Quna per additional character (e.g., 1 character: 1200 Quna; 2 characters: 1400 Quna)

- No need to pre-purchase character slots on the destination server; costs for missing slots will be charged during the transfer

2. Regarding server transfer limits

- Transfer pools were kept limited as a precaution against unforeseen issues

- Limits are set low for the first day to ensure stability and will be gradually increased

- Highly populated servers will have smaller pools, making them harder to enter

- Transfers are unavailable if the departure server's transfer-out limit or the destination server's transfer-in limit is reached

- For example, low-population servers will have higher transfer-in limits and lower transfer-out limits

- Transfers are impossible if the destination server is full, even if you already have a character there

- Internal processing begins after the transfer request; completion takes anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes

- Due to limited pools, we recommend preparing in advance, such as moving characters to towns or leaving a Legion

- You can set up your transfer before the opening time and simply pay the fee at 20:00 to finalize

- We will sanction users with clear evidence; we are currently reviewing logs of involved players

- 100% sanction rate if video evidence is available

- Sanction levels are discussed with the operations team, ranging from 7 days to permanent bans

- We are checking logs as community posts alone are insufficient for verification

- Regarding rankers lowering their item level to enter lower-tier areas: we have capped attack power and PvP-related amplification/resistance. Even if they unequip items to reach max stats, they won't be as powerful as expected. We will continue to monitor and adjust this

10. Correction of misunderstandings from Japanese interview

- Clarifying misinterpretations regarding Chanters from the Japanese interview

- Comments on damage were misinterpreted; the original point was that "damage is good with a full damage setting"

- The idea that Chanters are "useless' was a misinterpretation of "they are not strictly necessary in low-level dungeons'

- We are also looking into feedback that Healers don't feel their growth; we plan to adjust them so their impact on ally care is more noticeable

- Chanters will also be adjusted following Healer changes

11. O&A

- Encore avatars will be prepared for August

- Fishing is currently in development

- Stigma presets are delayed due to a backlog of other tasks
