AION 2 Membership Tiers: Standard vs Premium on 28-Day Terms
Published 2026-09-293 min read
AION 2's membership explained — Standard (~¥98–100) and Premium (~¥148–150) on 28-day terms, the seller-only trading permission, and who needs to pay.
AION 2 runs two membership tiers, both on 28-day terms: Standard at roughly ¥98–100 and Premium at roughly ¥148–150 in KR/TW launch pricing (a bundle of both ran around ¥225). Global regional pricing arrives with the October 2026 launch — the structure is the part you can plan on.
What Membership Buys
Mostly convenience — and one permission that shapes the whole economy:
- The trading/exchange permission. The headline unlock, and the detail that matters: it covers selling. Listing your items on the market requires the first membership tier. Buying is free for everyone, permanently.
- Quality-of-life add-ons. The paid bundle family extends into things like remote storage and personal trading through packs such as the Special Quai membership added to every founder package in August 2026 — our advanced access guide tracks that list.
Who Needs Which Tier
- Pure consumers and casual players: nobody. You can play the entire game, buy from the market, and never pay a won.
- Crafters, farmers, flippers: Standard. The moment your gold-making output exceeds your shopping list, the selling permission pays for itself.
- Premium layers extra convenience on top — a comfort purchase, not a requirement. Nothing in either tier gatekeeps Kinah itself or endgame drops.
The Ceiling
Stack Standard + Premium + both battle pass tracks and you reach the community's "everything" number: roughly ¥340 per month equivalent. That's the whole menu — anything beyond it is cosmetics and comfort, and the full monetization map keeps score.
