AION 2 Oct 14 Notices: Transfer Limits, Restrictions & Payment Fix

Three official notices landed October 14, and together they sketch the game's first post-launch enforcement and infrastructure week: server transfer limits explained ahead of transfers opening, account restrictions enforced against bots and RMT (making good on the October 4 warning), and the Steam payment issue fully resolved. Itemized below.

Quick answer

Quick answer: ①Server transfers will have limits — per-server counts update hourly, may close early, and heavily-requested servers can close permanently. ②Account restrictions enforced — bots, gold farming and economy abuse hit; normal grinding explicitly unaffected; some security locks are precautionary, not penalties. ③Steam payment issue resolved — missing items delivered (Oct 6–12 issue window).

1. Server transfer limits (advance notice)

Before transfers open, NC set limits on transfers into and out of each server:

• Available transfer counts update hourly during the transfer period.
• If your server hits its limit before the period ends, you wait for the next round — you keep the option.
• A server with excessive transfer requests may close permanently in that direction.

Player read: watch the hourly counts on day one of your transfer window — popular servers (or servers with a bad reputation after the EU outage) can close their direction early. Server names and pairings live on the servers page.

2. Account restrictions enforced (the RMT warning made real)

The October 4 warning ("first and only warning") has been acted on: NC restricted accounts for botting and gold farming (macros, unauthorized programs, organized RMT patterns) and economy abuse (abnormal trading). Two important clarifications from the same post:

• Normal play is not affected — "long grinding sessions" explicitly included.
• Temporary security locks are not penalties — they protect accounts from suspected compromise until verified.

This lands exactly one week after the illicit-currency warning — the enforcement loop is real, and it is the strongest signal yet that the Market-only trading economy will be actively defended.

3. Steam payment issue — resolved

The October 6–12 window had two Steam payment failures, both now fixed as of October 14, 10:00: missing purchased items have been delivered for all affected payments, and the block preventing follow-up purchases after a failed payment is lifted. Affected players need take no action.

FAQ

When do server transfers open? (to be verified) — the advance notice covers limits but not the opening date; watch official channels and this page.

Was my account restricted for botting? Only if it violated the Operation Policy per NC's review — normal grinding is explicitly unaffected. Security locks (temporary) are separate and self-resolve after verification.

I bought something on Steam between Oct 6–12 and never got it. It has been delivered retroactively per the official resolution — check your inventory; if still missing, contact support citing the official notice.
