AIE NEWS

We have a new guildie of the moment! Everyone give three cheers to Duam of SWTOR! This guildie went above and beyond to help another guildie who writes:

“hi, i’d just like to take a second and nominate Duam for guildie of the moment. he really went out of his way to give me a hand crafting some stuff today. it’s hard to stand out in a giant community full of great people but Duam does.”

And remember if you know someone who you would like to nominate for Guildie of the moment let your officers know by writing in to officers@aie-guild.org.

AIE IN RL! There are a bunch of Meetup.com events happening! A raid on Harry’s Hofbrau in Ghomus’s area, what looks like a gathering at Dave and Busters in Ontario, CA. Also what looks to be like a motorcycle ride, complete with doughnuts, and of course Nerdtacular and Blizzcon guild halls! Form your own or join others, signing up is free!

Wagz looks like he’s leading the pack in AIE SW:TOR. He’s the first person in AIE to get a 55 in BOTH Republic and Imperial sides! In looking at some of the responses here, it looks like he’s WAY ahead of some! Let’s hit that new level cap, folks!

Great job folks, it looks like, the composer of our Awesome theme, Andrew Allen, had his kickstarter for Free Play go over the 100% mark! There is of course no reason to stop now, they’ve already said that anyone who has pledged 15 dollars or more will automatically be able to download an MP3 or AAC of the album free! So we look forward to see what the following stretch goals will be!

Yet ANOTHER example why you should go to the forums if you play WoW in AIE. Some folks were doing the Throne of Thunder LFR consistently over a few weeks, and showing up on Wednesdays. So they figured, ‘hey, let’s organize and get more AIE Folks! So if you are looking to get in there, this would be a great opportunity to NOT have to deal with LFR without a nice AIE Roster helping!

Sick of all those iOS users having all the latest info on their Fancy Nerdtacular App? Nicole Spag has heard the call of the Android and the Nerdcular App is now available! It’s a great application, with schedules of events, photos, and you can even purchase tickets through such!

In other AIE SW:TOR news, it appears the Neuroid is going to be attending a Cantina Tour which will include a Developer Q&A which will be happening on May 17th! He’s put the thread in the forums so if you’ve got questions, like “Why are there no Hoojib pets?” or “Why are Squibs not a playable race!?” There are already a variety of questions answered from past Q&As, so take a look at the thread and add to it!

And with that, let’s welcome this week’s guests Syreyne and Hunts the Wind

GAME NEWS

It’s Spring! And you know what that means? Its time for the Craft Faire in WoW. The Craft Faire is going to be held on April 27th and 28th in Silvermoon City. Check out the forum post for more details. Also, please use the signup form to pre-register for the Faire.. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/49412-2013-spring-craft-faire-official-thread/#entry824792

NEW: Vent is a requirement this time around and please have patience while you wait your turn. It can get pretty crazy in there.

The craft faire has grown so legendary that someone sent mats in for tailoring and they aren’t even a member of AIE. They heard about the faire, thought it was cool, and decided to help.

We still need dependable people to volunteer to help work at the Craft Faire. If you ever thought of giving back to the guild, this is a great way to do it. All you need is an authenticator. Please contact myself or Nevermore if you want to help out.

Also, check out the cool war games after party Cyecho has planned.
