As seen below in our New's Feed section, AionSource has released some new info in regards to the Headstart & Pre-select dates & times. The full article can be found here:

This is the highlight of the post! :)

"Preselection is a benefit available to anyone who preordered Aion. If you are not sure whether or not you are eligible, simply log in to your NCsoft Master Account to verify that your game account is listed and your account type is not designated as "Beta".

Starting 12:00 p.m. PDT (more) on September 18, 2009, eligible players will be able to start their game clients and log in to create a total of two characters ahead of everyone else. You can name and create these two characters through the standard character creator and be ready to play with these characters right when the game Head Start Program begins (but not beforehand). Preselection will end on 9:00 a.m. PDT on September 20, 2009"

As for us, we will have a server picked within the next 2 days. Our new Ventrilo Server is up with the information on the forums & also a donation link to support each other in it's upkeep. Enjoy the calm before the storm Echoes..war is coming.
