With Record-Breaking Preorder Sale, Aion Takes Its Place As The Biggest MMO Release Of The Year is the announcement that nearly 400,000 preorders of Aion have been placed, saying NCsoft's fantasy-themed MMORPG is "outpacing other major MMO launches this year." This also serves as a reminder that server-pre-selection for preorder customers gets underway tomorrow, and their five-day headstart program begins on Sunday:

As a bonus to the nearly 400,000 players who have preordered their copy of Aion, they will be treated to server Pre-Selection (beginning tomorrow 18th September) and a five-day Headstart period (beginning 20th September) allowing them to get a jump start on their exploration and progression prior to the official launch on 25th September. Players can still participate in Aion’s Pre-Selection and Headstart programs by preordering the game through several participating online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
