If you're ever wished your Guild Wars characters could have wings, you're in luck. NCsoft just announced a cross-game promotion between Guild Wars and Aion that will give you an emote to summon wings for your Guild Wars character. All you need to do is purchase either the Aion SteelBook edition or the Aion Limited Collector's Edition to obtain the emote code.
