That's not official, but I think some of the preorder sites are using that date. A lot of times those dates can't be trusted though until you hear it from the official source.

July 2nd according to their post on the official website will be the next Beta event.

I know I'll be waiting to sink my teeth in until then.

Aion: The World & Lore (Video Podcast Episode 1)

This trailer really gives you a good look at game lore and a little bit about the world. Every time I look up something or hear something about the game, I get more excited about it.

I urge everyone to at least watch the trailer and give it a thought.

Update:

This is a really good review of the game. (so far) All the information is subject to change however. This may answer some question anyone could have.

Nope, it is THIS weekend. Managed to start a legion (guild). Controls are pretty simple for a level 1 legion. You do get a cool cape and once you get to level 3, you can submit your own custom emblem that goes on the cape! Combat is a lot like MxO sans interlock. Flying so far seems limited to very specific places. The gameworld itself is linear, as opposed to an open space. While this limits exploration, the result is a nice population of people everywhere you go, compared to Darkfall which seemed infinitely empty.

I don't like the fact that they have zones/channels ("Hey, I thought you said you were by the tree. Oh, you're on channel 4? I'm 3. And I don't know how to switch"). I don't know if the PvP area has channels like that or not. Economy seems pretty healthy. The game is pretty. I don't know if it's the kind of game that would hold our interest for a while or not.

It's EXTREMELY well polished, which is a breath of fresh air even compared to SWG, which seems to still be suffering from annoying bugs that stem from who knows where. Even if it isn't your cup of tea, you'll at least appreciate the feeling that you're playing a high-quality game (a rarity for an asian port).

Looks like we're not the only ones interested in this game.
