NCsoft Announces Summer Trade Show and Event Plans

Press release time, baby!

Quote:
Wednesday 2nd July, Brighton... Fans of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games will get a first-hand look at some of the leading online games on the market this summer as NCsoft® makes appearances at some of the top entertainment consumer and trade shows in both Europe and North America.At Comic Con International in San Diego, July 23-27, the NCsoft booth (#5209) will feature game stations set up for attendees to play the comic book inspired City of Heroes®, as well as other NCsoft games, Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa® and Exteel™. In addition to other booth activities, City of Heroes fanzine artist, Dave Hamann, will be on hand to draw City of Heroes’ character sketches for players..

A few days later, the spotlight will move to Brighton, England, where NCsoft Europe will open its doors to the media, presenting its highly anticipated fantasy MMO Aion®: The Tower of Eternity™ to select members of the press. Showing between July 29-31, this will be the first time for western journalists to see Aion since the summer of 2007.

August 20-24, Aion will be on display once again at one of the world’s largest computer and video games events, the Games Convention (GC) in Leipzig, Germany. Situated in Hall 3, Booth B20, the NCsoft booth will be the destination where consumers get to try the game out for themselves at several demo kiosks. Press will be invited to attend presentations of Aion at the Flashpoint booth, within the Business Centre (Booth J50).

Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is the final stop for the NCsoft summer tour in Seattle, August 29-31. PAX continues to grow larger by the year and NCsoft will have a booth (#642) where attendees will have a chance to play Aion, as well as Exteel, Dungeon Runners™, City of Heroes, Guild Wars® and Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa®. Guild Wars’ fans will be treated to a special player tournament while Exteel and Dungeon Runners’ teams will conduct play sessions in PAX’ special LAN area. Additionally there will be speaking sessions in the convention center’s auditorium where fans can learn more about NCsoft games.
Alright, who's buying my plane tickets and who's booking hotel rooms? I'm totally down for sharing a room with AionSource.com members.

Hmm, might not be a bad trip.

Are we considered "press" though?

Is PAX a press thing or is it open to the public? If so, I am so going since I will be in seattle during that time before I head up to Alaska. Anyone interested in meeting up?

Yes PAX is open to the public, just need to but a pass to get in I believe, I was going to go one year, had it all planned out then BAM financial disaster anyway go if you can, how many chances would you get to go to a convention such as this to play one of them most anticipated MMO's?

My schedule and/or budget won't allow me to attend any of those events, but I'll be expecting some uber commentary from anyone who gets his grubby little hands on Aion, mkay?

Damn... I'm still a minor so everything involving Aion is basically out of the question for me... So how long has NCSoft said that they won't appear at E3? I only heard that like last week.
