With Brian finishing the discussion with:

Only three more days left – we can wait :).
In the meantime … Guild Wars web page announced a special gift for all Guild Wars players that purchased Aion Collector’s Edition – special in-game emote that will make your avatar spread their Aion wings. UPDATE: We have added the video of the effect that surfaced on mmorpg.com.
Wings for Guild Wars® characters? Yes! You may not be able to fly, but you’ll look awesome on the ground with these flashy wings from NCsoft’s upcoming MMORPG Aion™. For a limited time, when you purchase either the Aion SteelBook edition or the Aion Limited Collector’s Edition, you will receive an exclusive emote that allows you to summon a pair of Aion wings for your Guild Wars character!
