This is what we know so far, for customers who purchased a digital pre-order of Aion:

* The cross promotion applies to the physical retail box copies of the game.
* However, if you purchased the digital pre-order, you can contact Aion customer support and they will provide you with a serial code for the wing emote.

Let my Aion friends who pre ordered about this update, they both got their keys from support with the condition that the would not work, ie can't be added to account, until the release day of aion next week.
Mods move this if this is the bad place for it, just remembered there was a big up roar about digital download not getting the wings a few weeks ago.
Enjoy online store users.

I sent a request for Aion Wings for GW (tm), too. Let's see how long it takes them to send me a key.

how it is a scheme? they are giving you a free visual item for a DIFFERENT GAME by buying another one. Most people would be getting Aion for Aion, the wings a just a bonus. how do you think the aion players are gunna feel when they dont get anything free? Or the Aions players that dont have GW? or was Aion free and the wings $40+??

i forgot the wings arnt an item, its an EMOTE.

It is kind of a lot to pay for an expensive emote.

Yay, now I will have at least something to show for my money spent if I don't like Aion or don't have time to play it. Big thanks to Regina and everyone else who made this happen.

Yes but you have to buy Aion and it is not free to play as it is pay to play.I wonder how good the wings are since I am playing another that involes flying.To bad it won't be in GW2 to much competion I guess.

Glad to see they're fixing this problem.

Also, if you're buying the game for the wing emote, or believe people would do so, you're doing it wrong.

These wings aren't money grabbing, so much as retarded. They have no place in the canon of guild wars and will further make towns and outposts look even more like a circus.

I would assume you will want to use:
http://help.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/ncsof...nduser/ask.php

Regina made is specific that you contact Aion support, so I assume that means make sure the product you list is Aion and not Guildwars.

And discoballs are part of the canon?

Come on, the only one that decides whats canon is Anet and they're not and never have been that self righteous.

A lot of you guys have missed the point


If you purchased it from a retailer...you get the emote

The guys who got it by digital download from ncsoft ect were excluded.

This has now been ratified...I can say I posted a ticket to aion/ncsoft

on this so had many others saying it was disspointed that ncsoft clients were

excluded in the first place

We're working on updating the FAQ with all the information we have (a few more details here), along with a news post on the web site to let people know that the FAQ was updated.

Right now we're just finalizing the text on the updated FAQ questions, so it should be posted on the web site later this week.

I'm sure this is exactly what customer support needs just as Aion is set to launch head start on Sunday the 20th. Open beta had so many problems for so many people just trying to log into the game that the extra 500 or so email's asking for a gw wing code will surely slow up the process of getting help to people that want to play Aion.

Geeze, they couldn't have waited a few weeks after launch to bother the Aion CSR's with this.

ok so i got my Aion copy today (pre-ordered) with access code, but when i try use the, my game crashes and tells me a serious error has occured.
so you can't activate the wings before the actual release (of aion) or is it something else?

I contacted support, but, quite unusal for my experiences with NCsoft support so far, I only got the automated response and nothing else in the 24h period they usually tend to answer support requests.

And still no answer after 56 hours. I felt free to update my petition asking if there is a problem.

The code will not work until after Aion launches. Just hang onto it, and after launch, you'll be able to add the wing emote code to your Guild Wars game client without any issues. If there are issues at that point, please contact customer support.

How come when i try to make a ticket it asks me to register an account. I put on my email address to which my account is linked to but after typing up the ticket it just tells me to register by saying

"Please complete this form to register your e-mail address."

Then if i put in my account details it says "The email address you provided is already in the database. If you are having trouble, you can contact support by e-mail at [email protected]."

Its like YEAH I KNOW BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT! Seriously why wont it let me make a ticket?

Great, too bad that we have to contact Support to get our key if we have digitally purchased the game.

Still, why didn't they use Elyos wings? Much nicer, especially considering Guild Wars' graphics.

I had actually contacted Support because i ordered digitally and got my code yesterday in the email so that went pretty fast.

Just make sure that when you contact support you supply your PlayNC Masteraccount so they can check that ^^

Yay Asmodian wings^^
