AION 2 Launch Day Checklist: First Login Guide
Use this AION 2 launch day checklist to install the final client, choose a region, avoid test-app confusion, and prepare your first character safely.
AION 2 Launch Day Checklist: First Login Guide
The final week creates a different search intent from a beginner guide. Players need an operational checklist: which client to install, what carries over from the test, when to choose a region, and how to avoid wasting time on a stale test download.
Before the October 5 Global Launch
- Steam players should preload the AION 2 client through the official Steam page and avoid opening an old Playtest App.
- PURPLE players should follow the official client path and check whether any additional step is required for their account.
- Reserve at least 100 GB of storage, then confirm your region, language, and display settings before the unlock window.
- Read the final queue, maintenance, and server notice before repeatedly restarting the client.
- Keep your first-character plan flexible until you see the live class and faction selection screens.
What Does Not Carry Over
The Launch Scale Test progression was temporary. Test progress was wiped and did not transfer to Advanced Access or the official launch. Treat screenshots, test currency, and test characters as preparation notes only.
First Login Priorities
- Confirm the correct server region and language.
- Create the character you actually want to learn, not the class that appeared strongest in an unfinished test.
- Complete the early tutorial and learn movement, combat, flight, and settings before rushing group content.
- Save the official notice link for maintenance and queue updates.
- Do not enter payment or account details through community links.

FAQ
Do I keep my Launch Scale Test character?
No. The official test notice says progression was wiped and nothing transferred to Advanced Access or launch.
Do Steam players use the Playtest App for Advanced Access?
The official post-test notice says Steam players must uninstall the Playtest App and download AION 2 separately for Advanced Access.
What should I do if the server is full?
Read the official queue notice, remain in the supported queue, and avoid unofficial “priority access” links or account offers.
