Aion 2 Global vs Korea — the numbers
Updated ·By the Aion2 Atlas team·How we source data
1. Spacetime Rift schedule
Global servers (NA and EU share one schedule) run on a GMT+9 server clock. Rift portals open every 3 hours and accept players for 10 minutes; you then have about one hour in enemy territory.
| Region | Openings (server time) | Openings (UTC) |
|---|---|---|
| Global (NA · EU) | 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00, 00:00, 03:00, 06:00 (GMT+9) | 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00 |
| Korea | 02:00, 05:00, 08:00 … 23:00 KST | 17:00, 20:00, 23:00, 02:00, 05:00, 08:00, 11:00, 14:00 |
| Taiwan | 02:00, 05:00, 08:00 … 23:00 (GMT+8) | 18:00, 21:00, 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00 |
Because the server clock has no daylight saving, local times shift one hour earlier when Europe changes clocks (Oct 25, 2026) and the US (Nov 1, 2026). Timers that count down to Korean times are one hour off for global players. Live countdown: Spacetime Rift timer.
