Why it exists
The first version was built on October 14, 2026 — in the middle of a maintenance. It was scheduled to end at 13:30 Moscow time (UTC+3), and then the world spent roughly another fifteen minutes starting up and dropping every connection. The only way to tell whether the server was letting people in was to launch the game again. Every five minutes.
So the first thing it did was watch the server: is it under maintenance, starting up, or open? And play a chime the moment it opens. Ping, field boss timers, reminders, a map with routes from the nearest teleport and the overlay modes came after. Today it's version 0.5.1 — see the changelog for everything it does.
Who makes it
One AION 2 Global player — for themselves, their party and anyone else who's sick of staring at the loading screen. The plugin is free. Only the Premium Map is paid: the Mini — top bar mode, map search, your own markers, and the gathering, Hidden Cube and Empyrean Trace layers.
It never touches the game: no memory reading, no key presses. Details: is it safe?
Where the data comes from
Nothing is pulled out of the game's memory. Everything the plugin shows comes from public sources and its own checks:
| What | Source |
|---|---|
| Maintenance | Official NC notices, with Steam news as a fallback |
| Is it open? | The plugin checks the connection to your server itself — an empty connect every 6–30 seconds |
| Players online | Steam: current players and the 24-hour peak |
| Events | The public shugo.gg schedule feed: rift, Kaira, Nahma, siege, Shugo Festival, invasion — on your region's clock |
| Field bosses | A live feed from players on your server, via aion2timers.com |
| Maps and spots | metabot.gg (game client data), cross-checked with allthings.how and aion2hub.com |
| Teleports #1–60 | The Altgard teleport list in the game itself |
| Bosses and drops | allthings.how |
| Routes | Computed by the plugin: the shortest path over land from a teleport of your faction, around the water |
