Here’s how Aion 2’s five-day head start will work, from servers to auction houses to party play

Developer and publisher NCsoft has shared new details regarding the upcoming global launch of Aion 2, specifically outlining how its five-day head start early access period will function. According to a report by MassivelyOP, this early access window is designed exclusively for players who purchase the game's Founder's Packs, allowing them to jump into the MMORPG ahead of the official public release.

Server Structure and Early Access

To accommodate the influx of early players, NCsoft is implementing a structured server rollout. During the five-day head start, there will be two distinct types of servers available for players to join.

This phased approach is intended to help manage player population and server stability before the general public gains access. However, the specific differences between these two server types, and how they will transition into the full launch, have not yet been fully detailed by the publisher.

Auction Houses and Party Play

In addition to server structures, NCsoft's release details cover how core gameplay systems like auction houses and party play will function during the head start period.

Because early access can significantly impact an MMORPG's economy and progression, these rules are crucial for players looking to gain a competitive edge. However, the exact mechanics of how the auction house economy will be partitioned—or how party play might be restricted between different server types during the five-day head start—remain unconfirmed. Players interested in securing early entry will need to purchase a Founder's Pack to participate in the head start.
