NCsoft explain the Aion pre-selection process:

Aion's release is right around the corner, and anticipation is running high! The beards and hairstyles of the character creator are groomed and lined up, jostling against each other in eagerness to be picked for your characters in this coming weekend's Pre-selection and Head Start Programs.

Australian gamers have the opportunity to jump into the world of Aion and explore Atreia as Asmodian or Elyos characters ahead of its release in
Australia on 23rd September and North America 22th September.

Players who have pre-ordered Aion will be treated to a Pre-Select and a two-day Head Start period giving them the opportunity to explore, organise and progress through the game prior to the official launch. Pre-Select in Australia will take place on 19th September from 5am, while Aion's Head Start will begin 21st September at 5am.

Players can still participate in Aion's Pre-Select and Head Start programs by preordering the game both online or in store at EB Games and GAME. If players are not sure whether or they are eligible, they can simply log in to their NCsoft Master Account here to verify that their game account is listed and their account type is not designated as "Beta".

Eligible players will be able to start their game clients and log in to create a total of two characters ahead of everyone else. You can name and create these two characters through the standard character creator and be ready to play with these characters right when the game Head Start Program begins (but not beforehand).

Preselection will end 2am September 21st 2009.

Don't miss this great opportunity to claim your character's name before anyone else does!
