We don’t yet have a release date for Aion 2’s upcoming Early Access, but it should be getting closer with NC posting “What to Know” posts on the free-to-play MMORPG’s website – especially since we know the game will be fully released in September. Recently NC posted one Team update titled “Early Access: How It Will Work,” where they provided information on the differences between Early Access and Launch servers, dungeon party matching, und mehr.

Wie Sie vielleicht erwarten, the big difference between the two servers is that Early Access is only open to those who have purchased a Founder’s Pack – at least initially. These servers are launched in waves. New servers will open in September to accommodate the new players. The early access servers will also be made available to new players at this time. Jedoch, I would imagine it will be easier to get a spot on the newly launched servers. So oder so, once things are sorted out, server transfers will be available. So if you can’t make an appointment with your friends right away, you should make it later.

The post also contains some information about matching for dungeons and PvP. In the case of Dungeons, group merging occurs across the region, with the pool including the starting servers when they are released. Was PvP betrifft, we already know that Elyos and Asmodians will not play together unless they meet in the Abyss for PvP. Once the game is fully launched, PvP matching will attempt to pair servers with equal performance.

As for the game’s market, there will be two markets: a server market and a cross-server market. The first is local and available when Early Access begins. The second will open sometime after release and will allow trading across all servers in a region.
