Those of you rubbing your hands together in anticipation of Aion's forthcoming 1.9 patch can now get the jump on the mere mortals who will be stuck downloading the mammoth update on launch day.

Your NCsoft Launcher will now begin to incrementally download the update over the next couple of days leading up to launch," reads the notice. You can also get a sneak peak at the 1.9 patch by logging into the Aion Public Test Server.

Patch 3.2 background download begins
Here's another step in patch 3.2's slow march forward: the background download has begun. The first 273 MB chunk of the patch file is now available in a Blizzard Background Downloader app near you. Blizzard has been using this method to pre-distribute parts of patches as they get finalized for quite some time now, to lessen the bandwidth strain on patch day. What does this mean for the patch's ETA? Not much, I'm afraid. All we can surmise from this is that some parts of the patch artwork are ready to go. The time between the background download becoming available and the patch going live varies widely, from less than a week to over a month. We'll just have to wait and see. [thanks, Steve] Patch 3.2 will bring about a new 5, 10, and 25 man instance to WoW, and usher in a new 40-man battleground called the Isle of Conquest. WoW.com will have you covered every step of the way, from extensive PTR coverage through the official live release. Check out WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.2 for all the latest!

Background downloader active for Patch 3.1
Patch 3.1 may be here sooner than we expect. As of this evening, people exiting WoW should see their background downloader start up in order to deliver patch 3.1 -- or at least parts of it.As to whether this means we should expect the whole shebang to go live on Tuesday, I still wouldn't bet on it. Not only have there been indications that the devs are willing to delay Noblegarden if they have to to keep testing the patch, It seems like class balancing work still has a bit to go. With this in mind, it seems most likely that what we're getting now is mostly finalized art and zone files that won't change before the patch goes live. But whether we have one more week or one more month, the preparations are underway. We're one step closer to the Argent Tournament and Ulduar![Thanks to everyone who gave us a heads up on this!] Patch 3.1 brings us Ulduar, dual specs, significant changes to all the classes, and more!
