Character Missing After Changing Steam Links

Tied to one NC account

Your characters live on the NC account you used when you made them.

Relinking does not move them

Linking Steam to another NC account leaves your characters behind.

  1. 1

    Sign in on the NC website with Steam as the login method.

  2. 2

    On the Manage Login page, add a second login method, such as a Google account.

  3. 3

    Sign out, then sign back in with that new login method.

  4. 4

    On Manage Login, disconnect Steam.

  5. 5

    Link the Steam account you play on, then start AION 2.

Do not relink accounts on the NC website to chase Twitch Drops. NC warns it can cut you off from your character.
