Ready to get a preview of <a href="http://www.aiononline.com"><em>Aion's</em></a> forthcoming <a href="http://uk.aiononline.com/board/notices/view?articleID=756&amp;page="><em>Assault on Balaurea</em></a> expansion? You're in luck, as today finds the new content live on the Public Test Server, a couple weeks ahead of its September 7th release date. Pre-existing PTS players will find that their characters have been wiped, which is a small price to pay for the chance to test the new content with accelerated XP and loot drop rates.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/assault-on-balaurea"><em>Assault on Balaurea</em></a> features a new <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/12/how-much-is-that-drakie-in-the-window-aion-pets-revealed/">pet system</a> as well as new zones, instances, quests, and a level cap increase. Check out the official <a href="http://na.aiononline.com/board/notices/view?articleID=358&amp;page=">press release</a> for more information, including how to install and run the PTS client.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/18/aions-assault-on-balaurea-expansion-live-on-pts/">Aion's Assault on Balaurea expansion live on PTS</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://na.aiononline.com/"><em>Aion</em></a>'s Assault on Balaurea has been a long time coming. We chatted with Lead Producer Chris "Kinslon" Hager <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/24/exclusive-aions-chris-hager-talks-2-0/">back in May</a>, and fans have been <a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Korean+PTS%3A+Initial+2.0+Patch+Notes">scouring the patch notes</a>, but one big question has remained unanswered: When?<br />
<br />
We got our answer today. <a href="http://www.ncsoft.com">NCsoft</a> has announced a September 7th release date for the free digital version of Assault on Balaurea. Boxed copies of the full game containing codes for exclusive in-game pets -- which carry some benefits for their owners -- are also available. Players can purchase those in North America on September 7th and in Europe on September 10th. <br />
