What each purchase is for
AION 2’s global service is free to play. Membership, a Battle Pass, cosmetic purchases and Founder’s Packs are separate offers; owning one does not imply that every other offer is included.
| Offer | Purpose | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Free access | Enter the game after the full opening | Current service and account requirements |
| Membership | Access to the player economy and listed benefits | Server scope, duration and current benefits |
| Battle Pass | A separate progression/reward product | Reward track, season end and claim conditions |
| Founder’s Pack | A pack including Advanced Access and listed extras | Remaining access window and exact pack contents |
| Quna / shop items | Premium currency and individual products | Price, binding, restrictions and intended character |
Membership follows the purchased server
The updated membership notice applies its benefits to characters on the server where membership was purchased. Resolve your main server before spending; do not assume benefits apply across every region or server.
The current notice removes personal trading and World Market from its benefit list. The supported economy summary is Market and currency Exchange access. Older screenshots of the product can show benefits that the current notice no longer lists.
Planned Founder’s Pack cosmetic changes
NC’s October 3–4 announcement plans to make the cosmetics from the Founder’s Pack you purchased available to all characters across all servers after Advanced Access. The notice does not give a completion date, so do not treat this as an already active entitlement.
The planned change excludes the 30-day membership, Campaign Supply Chests and Styling Chests, including their contents. Keep those benefits separate from the cosmetic expansion when choosing a server or deciding what to claim.

A practical purchase check
- Decide what activity you need access to before choosing a product.
- Verify the server and account receiving the purchase.
- Read the exact duration, renewal terms if shown, and refund terms at checkout.
- For a pass, inspect rewards you can realistically earn before its displayed end.
- Keep the receipt and avoid buying again while investigating a delivery problem.
Make the decision after trying the game
For a new player, the useful comparison is the benefit you will actually use during your available playtime. A longer product list does not necessarily mean a better fit for a short session or a character you may replace.
The economy includes premium currency exchange and membership benefits, so it should not be described as cosmetic-only. Use the currency guide to understand what a transaction spends before confirming it.
