The maintenance rhythm

Three windows in three weeks, each paired with itemized patch notes after: October 6/7 (first weekly patch), October 8/9 (EU outage recovery + temporary maintenance), and now November 3/4. The pattern players can rely on: mid-week window, notes after, with surprise temporary maintenance announced separately when incidents occur.

FAQ

Is AION 2 down right now? If you are reading during the window (Nov 3, 22:30 PST / Nov 4, 07:30 CET + 3 hours), login is unavailable. Outside posted windows, check the official notice for surprise temporary maintenance.

When do patch details drop? Official practice: update details are shared "at a later time" — typically with or shortly after the maintenance. The news hub itemizes each set as it publishes.

Was the EU outage compensation delivered? Per the official compensation post, it was scheduled for "the next maintenance" — this window is the expected delivery point; verify via in-game mail (Special Daeva Supply Chest) if you were on Nezekan or Zikel.
