AION 2 Server List & Faction Pairing
VerifiedAION 2 does not put both factions on one server. You pick a Region, then a Faction, then a server — and every Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian counterpart for cross-faction PvP. Here is the complete launch server list and exactly how pairing works.
Server names, the region list, and the one-faction-per-server / pairing model come from NCSOFT's official global launch server notices (published Oct 4–5, 2026). NCSOFT adds capacity during launch week, so the in-game server list is always the final word.
Pick in this order: Region → Faction → Server
When you launch AION 2 you choose your Region first, then your Faction (Elyos or Asmodian), then a server from that faction’s list in your region. The faction choice is what filters which servers you even see, and it is the one choice a server transfer cannot undo — transfers stay inside a single faction.
One faction per server, paired for PvP
Each server houses only one faction. Every Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian counterpart so both sides have a home but still meet in shared PvP spaces like the Abyss. NCSOFT’s own example pairs the Asmodian server Israphel with the Elyos server Siel, so every Israphel Asmodian who enters the Abyss runs into Siel’s Elyos players.
Pairings rotate — do not memorise a fixed table
The pairing is not permanent. NCSOFT says "each Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian server for a limited time" and "we will update server pairings periodically to keep the factions balanced." The list below names the servers; which Elyos server fights which Asmodian server changes, so the in-game pairing view is the only current source.
Cross-server content still works
All instanced content, including dungeons, is available cross-server, and dungeon matching pulls from every server in your region. A quieter home server costs less queue time than you might fear, because your dungeon groups are not limited to it.
AION 2 launch servers by region
Every launch server name below is from NCSOFT's official Oct 5, 2026 launch notice. The two columns are factions, not a pairing table — which Elyos server fights which Asmodian server rotates, so the in-game pairing view is the live source.

What we can and cannot confirm
This guide is marked verified because the underlying data is backed by an official or directly observed source, and the retrieval date is stated above.
A guide that fills a gap with a plausible number costs more than an empty guide, because you cannot tell which parts are real. Every page on this site carries a data status for that reason, and the About page explains the grading rules in full. Where a figure moves with patches or region, we say so rather than publishing it as a fixed fact.
Servers questions
How many AION 2 servers are there at launch?
Five regions launched on Oct 5, 2026: Europe, NA West, NA East, Latin America, and ASIA. Europe is by far the largest with 18 Elyos and 18 Asmodian servers; NA East has 8 pairs; NA West, Latin America and ASIA each launched with 6–7 pairs. NCSOFT adds servers during launch week when queues grow, so the in-game list is the live count.
Should I pick Elyos or Asmodian?
They are equal in power — NCSOFT has announced no stat bonus for either side, and all eight classes are open to both. Pick the faction your friends are on, because the choice decides which servers you live on, who you fight in the Abyss, and where a transfer can take you. There is no faction-change service, so a wrong pick means a new character.
Can I play with friends on the opposite faction?
Not on the same server — factions live on separate servers and there is no cross-faction trading or shared world. You only meet the other faction in cross-faction modes like the Abyss and Spacetime Rifts, and even then you meet players from your currently paired server, not every Asmodian or Elyos.
Are Steam and PURPLE the same servers?
Yes. Steam and PURPLE share the same servers; you only need to link the two accounts if you want the same character available on both launchers. Picking a launcher does not change which region or faction servers you can join.
When can I transfer to another server?
NCSOFT announced server transfers would open on October 14, 2026, and they stay inside the same faction. There is no announced price or limit yet, and no faction change — so if your friends ended up on the other side, a transfer will not bring you together.
Which region should I choose?
The one closest to your real latency, not the one with the biggest population. Your region choice is effectively permanent because transfers are same-faction and not confirmed to cross regions, and a slightly larger population does not help if every fight happens at 200ms.
