The AION game has several Launchers depending on the region and therefore several Anti-Cheat systems. So I will give a feedback on this subject.

Keep in mind that for the moment these are only suppositions and that I continue to investigate this subject. I will continue to update this post as new information becomes available.

AION EU : Gameforge Client
Anticheat : Uknown
Anticheat Status : Running

AION CLASSIC EU : Gameforge Client
Anticheat : Uknown
Anticheat Status : Running

Being French, I play on the European version of Gameforge and I confirm that the game works whether it is the AION or AION CLASSIC version. Regarding the Anticheat, Gameforge support categorically refuses to give any information. After searching through every nook and cranny of the game files, the registry... I think it is a server-side anti-cheat.

AION NA & KR : Purple Launcher
Anticheat : VIOLET
Anticheat Status : Broken (Launcher)

AION CLASSIC NA & KR : Purple Launcher
Anticheat : VIOLET
Anticheat Status : Broken (Launcher)

After installing the launcher on Lutris, the login window opens and then closes instantly

AION RU : 4game Launcher
Anticheat : Frost Security
Anticheat Status : Untested

AION CLASSIC RU : 4game Launcher
Anticheat : Frost Security
Anticheat Status : Untested

For other anticheat systems, nProtect GameGuard was used by Gameforge but was the subject of much controversy. I still don't know if they abandoned it.
For Active Anticheat and SARD, they were used at the time of the NC Launcher now Purple Launcher. It is not impossible that these anticheats will be abandoned following the migration of all NC games to the Purple Launcher.

If you have any other information, please feel free to add it.

I'm back with some news
I waited a little while for a response from NCSoft Support to the few questions I had about Purple Launcher but no response. It seems that the Purple Launcher is broken and that its ancestor the NCLauncher2 was the same (A discussion on this subject had been opened some time ago before my post here: ValveSoftware/Proton#7878). I still tested it on my side to see. Once the launcher installation is complete, when I launch it the window opens then closes instantly. I specify that for this test I used Lutris
So I update my first post about AION and AION Classic NA & KR, I go back to the investigations for the RU version
