LEAD IN
We’ve got more games, more content for existing games, and we talk to some of the gang from AIE RIFT! All that and more coming up right now. THIS is the A-I-E Podcast…
OPEN
[SHOW THEME]
Good evening ladies and Gentleman, this is the AIE Podcast Episode 125! Broadcasting from beautiful Northern California, this is Ghomus. (Ghomus catchphrase) Joining me from only a quarter of the state away is Alludra. (Alludra greetings). And coming at us from the deep South out in Central Alabama, is Acuzod. (AcuZod greeting)
[Host welcome and chitchat]
We’ve got a great show today, and we’d like to welcome special guests StupidGenius and Ayhood. How are you guys doing?
[Stu and Ay say Hi!]
We’ll be talking to them about AIE RIFT coming up, but first, let’s tackle the news…
[AIE NEWS BUMPER]
AIE NEWS GO SLOW
The AIE World of Warcraft Craft Faire and Raffle were a huge success, and SO many prizes given out! A list has been posted on the forums. If you won a Pet, you should receive it in the mail, but the mounts are to be handed out in person. So make sure and check it to see if you won!
Talk about new content day! The young upstart of the group, Guild Wars 2, ALSO got a content patch dropping today! A new monster condition to ward against, the means to do so through infusions, and the first item rarity type: Ascended!
Because there aren’t NEARLY enough games to play right now…..are you interested in seeing what is going on with the Mechwarrior MMO? The Open Beta has started and AIE is exploring the idea of an official presence. The GURP Expedition process has started, so get in the game to see if it’s something you’d like to play with AIE!
AIE in The Secret World is turning out to not be a huge secret! Mantus on the forums has a thread talking about his recent experiences discussing the game with a Funcom community manager, who happens to have been a member of AIE! Though we don’t know the details and wish to respect her privacy, she still gave AIE a recent shoutout!
Speaking of The Secret World, Issue #4 is also dropping today! Sindrake has posted thread on the forums a link to all the news, and it Looks like Big Trouble in New York City! A beautiful theatre has also opened to explore!
Ventrillo has a new layout! We know that everyone loves our guild’s ventrillo services, but lately things have been a bit mixed up and confusing! The officers were finding a lot of the general common rooms were going unused, so we decided to clean the place up a bit, while making the boiler room a bit easier to find! For more discussion on the topic and a reminder of the rules check the forum thread.
Ballcap Giveaway. We had ten contest entries from people watching our new live video stream, so let’s give away a ballcap!

Questions via Twitter::
From @beefmaster – as a avid 3-4 hour a day wow player, what is the one thing most compelling about rift that would make me consider playing?
Also @beefmaster has the game changed at all to make it feel easier to learn? biggest hurdle when I tried the game at launch was trying to absorb a whole second games worth of lore,items,gear,stats, etc
From @Abovan – If we don’t have any high level characters, is it worth spending the money on the expansion?
