Where can I purchase Aion account services?

You can purchase them at the Aion web shop, Black Cloud Marketplace™.

  1. Go to the Account Services section on Aiononline.com (above).
  2. Select the Aion service that you'd like to purchase.
  3. Click Buy Now.
  4. Once you’ve successfully purchased the services, the items will be delivered to your character via in-game express mail. Please note this excludes the Server Transfer service. (See paid Character Transfer below for more information.)
  5. For the Name Change, Gender Switch, Legion Name Change, and Character Customization services, you will be able to make and apply changes to your account directly on the Black Cloud Marketplace. Again, please note that this excludes the Paid Character Transfer service.

How much does each of the Aion account services cost?

Account services items can only be purchased with NCoin™. (What is NCoin?) The current cost for each service is:

  • Character transfer: Item is currently unavailable.
  • Character customization: 320 NCoin
  • Gender change: 320 NCoin
  • Character name change: 640 NCoin
  • Legion name change: 960 NCoin

Can I trade, sell, or store an Aion account services digital ticket in game?
No, the tickets cannot be traded, sold, or stored in one's account or Legion warehouse, so be sure that you apply them to the correct character.

Can I buy an account service and use it later? Will the in-game items expire?
Purchase of a character name change, a Legion name change, a gender change, or a character customization account service gives one digital ticket to the selected character. The ticket can be stored in your character's inventory and used at your leisure. The character transfer account service is requested when you pay for that account service and does not involve an in-game digital ticket. You are not obligated to use it at time of purchase, however, and can save it for later. (Special offers, such as free server transfers, may have additional restrictions that prevent long-term delay of use.)

Can I cancel the use of my in-game ticket before I apply the changes?
Yes, at any point before you confirm the changes to your character's name, Legion name, gender, or the selected character customization, you can cancel the process and keep your ticket.

Once I pay for a character transfer and apply it to my character, can I cancel the transfer service before the character is transferred, get a refund, and have my character remain on its original server?


No, you cannot cancel your character transfer once you apply it.

Character Name Change

How do I use my Name Change Ticket?

Log in to the game on the selected character and open the in-game express mail that contains your Name Change Ticket. Add the item to your character's inventory and double-click it. Once you've double-clicked the ticket, you'll be prompted to enter a new character name. If that character name is available and meets the game's name requirements and restrictions, it is changed immediately and permanently.

How will my friends know that I've changed my character name?

Each character name change is tracked and displayed in the Shadow Court Archives and updated on your friends' lists. In this way, everyone is able to see the change in game and out of game.

I mistyped my character name. Can I revert the change?
You can preview your new character name before you apply the change. Once the change is submitted and applied, it is permanent, so please be careful when entering your new name. You can purchase and use another Name Change Ticket to change it again.

Are there any restrictions on how often I can purchase a character name change?
You can purchase up to three Name Change Tickets per month.
