Today, I recieved an e-mail from Amazon (like the usual you bought this product, now we would like to reccomend... ones) But, this one was a little different... its for Aion collectors edition, even though the official site has no information on the release date.

This is pretty normal for companies to "guess" at a release date and post it on their website. The devs have all stated several times that the game won't be out until 2009 at the earliest.

Currently Playing: EQ2
Currently Testing: TCoS
Currently Awaiting: Aion
Retired From: EQ, WoW, AC, LoTRO, VG:SoH, AoC, UO, DAoC, GW, and have tried just about every F2P MMO on the market at one point or another :)

Dreamer, dream me a gift.

Posting a date on their site is one thing but sending out emails whithout an official date from distributors (or whoever sends Amazon their info), that's pretty cheeky....

Hmmm....could that be a fishing email to try and get your bank/credit details?

Current Amazon.co.uk listing for Aion looks like this, clearly shows Amazon expect it to be released on the 27th of march 2009.

 

 

Don't know if you can run it?

If you want a good date go to game stop and ask them, They were very close to WotLK release date back when they announced it, and Warhammer online. It should be atleast in the right month.
