NCsoft recently released information on the preselection process that will allow players who pre-ordered Aion to create two characters starting at noon PDT on Friday. Well, that's not the only perk that pre-ordering the game grants to players. NCsoft has announced that the Head Start program is scheduled to begin on Sept. 20 at noon PDT and runs through the game's release on Sept. 22 in North America and Sept. 25 in Europe.

Preselection ends on Sept. 20 at 9 a.m., just three hours before the launch of the Head Start program. If you pre-ordered the game, make sure to take advantage of the preselection and reserve your characters' names this weekend. There's still time to pre-order Aion if you'd like to be a part of the first wave of players to enter the game on Sunday.
