AION 2 has reached 400,000 active players, according to NC's October 5 announcement. The team is marking the milestone with a gift of 15 bound Resurrection Spiritstones.

The reward is the concrete player takeaway. The population figure is a publisher-reported milestone, and the wording needs to stay precise: NC has not established a 400,000 concurrent-player record on Steam in this notice.

Fifteen bound Resurrection Spiritstones

The announced gift is Resurrection Spiritstone (Bound) x15. Both the PlayNC notice and the official Steam announcement list that reward for the 400,000 milestone.

The inspected announcement does not specify a claim deadline, delivery instructions, or a detailed eligibility breakdown. Check the game's notices for distribution information before assuming a particular collection method or expiry date.

Active players is not a Steam concurrency figure

NC describes the milestone as active players. It does not define the counting period, explain whether everyone counted was online at once, or split the figure between Steam and PURPLE.

Those are different measurements. A tally of players active during a period cannot automatically be compared with the number playing simultaneously through one launcher. The notice supports reporting NC's 400,000 milestone, but it does not support calling that number a Steam concurrent-user peak.

For players, the next thing to watch is the Spiritstone distribution detail. NC has confirmed the gift and quantity; the short milestone post leaves the claim process and timing open.
