Only a little more than a month until Champions Online hits the shelves. So far it seems to fail to pick up the necessary hype that preceeds the usual launch of every at least halfway successful MMORPG. Will it be able to pull it off anyway, landing another 'Eve Online'? Or is one superhero game enough already?

The problem might be inherent in the superhero concept. After all, most superhero stories are based on there being just one or a few selected superheroes. But how do you get consistent lore where everyone possesses some kind of superpower?

Another indicator of the problems Champions Online might be facing are the lack of community sites. Champions Online Guide is one of the few newbie-oriented places, and it's just a bunch of introduction paragraphs.

Killer Guides is giving away 20 free weekend access passes for the Aion beta. All you need to do, is e-mail them a one-liner, explaining why you would be the best pick for a free pass. However, apparently your reasons don't need to be that good - they are awarding 5 passes to the top answers and draw the other 15 winners at random. In addition, all winners get a free copy of their Aion Leveling Guide.

Of course the odds that you are going to be one of the lucky winners is rather low. However, it's a one-liner, so it's not like it requires a major time investment, so why not give it a shot. More details are available here.

Aion: The Tower of Eternity, also known as NCSoft's last big hope for peace... err victory, had its release date announced: Starting September 22nd in the US and September 25th in the EU, players will be able to join the latest major league Korean MMORPG.

Aion, unlike its predecessor Lineage 2, is not supposed to be an endless world of grinding, but is going to be a more quest-based world. What fancy PRs try to tell us, is that it's going to play like WoW with wings. For gamers that means the bot-alert will only be only at orange and you'll be able to reach the maximum level within 20 days playtime. Let's see if this will pose any serious competition for Blizzard's pole position.

Aion is probably still another year away. However, we're already seeing a lot of new sites springing up to fill the ranks of Aion fan sites. From Wikis to Forums, from news sites to blogs, we're soon going to have a full-grown community on our hands for the latest hit from NCSoft.

In terms of community sites, there is already a decent number available:

• AionSource
• Aion Guide
  
• Aion Classes
• Nocturne of Twilight

Aside from AionSource, most of them only have a handful of articles on classes, guides and screenshots taken from the chinese and US Aion beta. However, in the upcoming weeks, we'll probably see those resources expanded a lot.

Killer Guides has released a new guide that covers the top leveling strategies in Lord of the Rings Online. The LotRO Guide to leveling, quests and gathering is probably the most comprehensive resource on the market for the game. For players who are also interested in a LotRO gold guide as well as current and future class guides, all of their Lord of the Rings Online game guides are also available in a bundle set. Players planning to play multiple characters probably get the best bang for their buck by taking advantage of the one-time purchase that makes all future guides free.
