Firstly, earlier this week, Aion claimed the prize for “Best Online Game” at Gamescom 2009 – not only was Aion crowned king of MMO gaming, but of all online games present – a great achievement!

Secondly, in anticipation of the game’s launch on September 23rd, NCsoft has announced an exclusive cross promotion today giving players the ability to call upon the Aion wings emote within the Guild Wars family of games.

Designed as an added value and a way to say thanks to our biggest fans of the Guild Wars and Aion franchises, players that purchase an Aion Collector’s Edition, Limited Steelbook Edition or Standard Edition will be rewarded with a Guild Wars emote that displays the wings that have become synonymous with Aion.

While the Aion wings emote will stay active in a players account forever, the promotion has a limited run. In order to guarantee a Guild Wars Aion wings emote code, players are encouraged to pre-order Aion at several participating retailers, including EB Games, GAME and JB Hi-Fi.

Let me know if you’d like me to send the videos or the screenshots.
