Wouldn't it be great to end this summer with an opportunity to play Aion before the official release next year? Wouldn't it be even better to have an opportunity to sign up for a special preview event? If you answered 'yes' to either question then read on!

As previously announced, not only will this be a chance to meet fellow Aion fans and members of the North American Aion Production team; the big news is that Aion will be showcased at the Penny Arcade Expo. If that's not enough to get you to go then maybe the following will.

PAX will be your first opportunity to register for the Aion Exclusive Preview events that will kick off in 2009; other opportunities will follow. Go to PAX, play the Aion demonstration, exchange your e-mail address for an Aion slap bracelet and you just guaranteed your slot in one of next year's Preview events.

If you can't make it to PAX and want to get in on the Preview, fret not! There will be other chances later in the year to get on the list. Watch for future announcements on how to win your spot.
