The Aion Newsletter.
It's been a long time coming but the official AionOnline Newsletter finally went into active circulation today. While it wasn't ground-breaking stuff it's great to see everything is finally getting into full swing, certainly serves as a nice overview if nothing else =)
For those of you not subscribed:

More Aion Closed Beta Events
The next two Aion closed beta events are on the horizon. Soar into a closed beta event by entering one or both of these two upcoming weekends.
Third Closed Beta
- Thursday, July 2, 2009 - Noon PT, Monday, July 6, 2009
- Asmodians, levels 1-20
The third beta event features the Asmodians. Asmodians are a fiercely loyal, brave, and hardy people who are not friendly to outsiders. Their skin is pale or dusky, and their eyes have adapted to low light by gaining an otherworldly glow. The feathers of ascended Asmodians are dark in color.

Fourth Closed Beta
- Friday, July 17, 2009 - Noon PT, Monday, July 20, 2009
- Asmodians and Elyos, levels 1-25, and a first taste of the Abyss!
The fourth beta event features both the Asmodian and Elyos races and allows access up to level 25. For the first time, Aion players will get to experience the infamous Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered halves of Atreia where the center of the Tower of Eternity used to be. Get ready for a whole new MMO experience with PvPvE - epic battles with hundreds of Elyos and Asmodians fighting both each other and the AI-controlled Balaur!
Preorder today to guarantee your access to the fourth beta event. Once you have a beta serial code (or have preordered), log in to your NCsoft Master Account to activate your beta serial code and to start downloading Aion. We're looking forward to seeing you this in Atreia

Just so we don't leave poor Ayase out, from AionOnline.
Ayase's Realm: Picture's from CB2!
Hey everyone - "CB2" is of course short for the longer "Closed Beta Event Number 2" and I'm crossing my fingers for your discretion regarding my current affinity for acronyms. I decided to stop by here just briefly as we're tackling excessive summer heat and CB3 ("Closed Beta Event Number 3") preparations both at the exact same time.
If you read the previous entry in my blog you might remember that I asked participants of the previous beta event to send me their group pictures. I did get a whole bunch of pictures out of which a great portion were definitely worth more than a mere glance!
Have a look at this following selection:
Our Spanish friends from Aion-Esp are back with matching floating carpets. Looks like any weekday night to me!
The RavenWolf legion in the other hand rented an indoors venue - but who invited the orc?
A legion named Sanctuary gathered up for this picture!
A bit of sugar, a bit of spice...
Our Swedish comrades from Aiononline.se pulled together a group of their members for this shot!
In related words: The game servers are just about to go online (around 8 PM tonight if you live in the UK, noon if you're on the US west coast), and I'd like to remind you all to keep grabbing screenshots; they're simply great to watch. Seeing you having such a great time in the game definitely makes us confident in Aion and in its dazzling bright future here in the west. Keep it up!
And that about wraps it up for now, folks.
See you around,
Ayase
