AION 2 reset and Rift times in Eastern Time
For players in Canada, US East Coast. Eastern Time is 14 hours behind the server clock, and the server clock does not move for daylight saving — so the times below are listed in both standard and daylight time.
The schedule in Eastern Time
| Event | Standard time | Daylight time |
|---|---|---|
| Daily reset | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Weekly reset (Wednesday) | 02:00 | 03:00 |
| Spacetime Rift gate (every 3 h) | 12:00 (Tue), 15:00 (Tue), 18:00 (Tue), 21:00 (Tue), 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00 | 13:00 (Mon), 16:00 (Mon), 19:00 (Mon), 22:00 (Mon), 01:00, 04:00, 07:00, 10:00 |

Eastern Time observes daylight saving, which is why the two columns differ by an hour. Times are wall clock in Eastern Time. A day in brackets means the event lands on a different day locally than on the server clock.
Eastern Time: common questions
It lands at 02:00 in Eastern Time during standard time, and 03:00 during daylight saving time. Eastern Time is 14 hours behind the server clock, and the server clock does not change for DST — your local clock does.
Weekly content resets on the same tick as the daily reset, so 02:00 on Wednesday in Eastern Time during standard time, and 03:00 during daylight saving time.
The gate opens every 3 hours for 15 minutes. In Eastern Time that is 12:00 (Tue), 15:00 (Tue), 18:00 (Tue), 21:00 (Tue), 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00 in standard time and 13:00 (Mon), 16:00 (Mon), 19:00 (Mon), 22:00 (Mon), 01:00, 04:00, 07:00, 10:00 in daylight time. The 02:00, 05:00 and 11:00 server gates are the ones the official guidebook names explicitly.
Monday, Thursday and Friday, starting 5 minutes into the gate and running 25 minutes: 06:05, 09:05 in standard time and 07:05, 10:05 in daylight time.
