Nezekan character-selection issue (October 9, 2026)

NC now lists NA West’s Nezekan character-selection issue under Resolved Issues. The official October 9 notice was last modified at 2:26 p.m. PDT and checked by Kingy at 2:31 p.m. PDT (Vancouver). Earlier, at our 1:48 p.m. check, NC was still investigating without a fix or recovery ETA.

If this was your login blocker, try your normal login again and check the official notice if it persists. This is publisher-reported resolution, not a Kingy login test. NC supplies no reinstall workaround or explanation of the repair. The incident concerned NA West’s Nezekan and did not establish a global outage.

What this guide can establish

NC confirms the Global service is live, and Steam lists an October 5 release. The Launch Scale Test and paid Advanced Access have ended. Publisher information does not establish a tested first-hours route.

Prepare your first session

  1. Download the released AION 2 client through Steam or PURPLE; the Playtest is a separate historical app.
  2. Choose region, Elyos or Asmodian, then an available server with your group.
  3. The base Global game is free to play; the Founder’s Pack sales period ended October 5.
  4. Read the official class summaries, then keep skill and build choices flexible where evidence is missing.

Before diagnosing a failed login

Check the access date and official notices first. An ended test is not evidence of a broken account. A reported queue does not prove your own launcher or connection is working.

Evidence limits

Officially announced means NC documented the claim. Kingy has not installed this client, played the test or measured server performance. The class and gameplay pages retain separate research gaps.

Report an access problem

Keep the exact message, client name, region and time. Hide account identifiers and credentials in screenshots. This is Kingy’s reporting advice, not a tested repair.
