We’ve got a great show today, with special guests Vanflicke and Dux standing by to talk to us about Lord of the Rings online but first, the news…
AIE NEWS
Meetups meetups meetup! With the weather turning nice in most places, tons of meetups are getting organized! The meetup.com site has been getting a lot of new guildie action like the Raid on Harry Hofbrau in San Jose, CA on April 20th, and the Raid on Dave & Busters in Ontario CALIFORNIA on April 26th, and finally, Novaluna on the forums wants to know if anyone will be going to Wizard World in Phillidelphia this June.
Craft faire is happening in just two weekends! And afterwards? COOP run. Alachaas and his crew want to make sure with all the nifty items crafted at the faire get some proper use. The Alliance surely wants to see all these 600 level crafters bearing down on their cities? Riiight?
Love AIE so much that you are considering transferring servers to join us? Well your friendly AIE officers would like to remind you to fill out your application for your newly transfered character after you make the jump to make sure you won’t have a forced name change on arrival, or if you do, you can fill out your app with the new info.
Blizzcon tickets will be going on sale on April 24th at 7pm PDT and again on the 27th at 10 am PDT on the official blizzcon site! If you have the $175 and are feeling lucky go ahead and try to snag some! And if that’s not expensive enough for you, Blizzard is holding a benefit dinner for the Children’s hospital of Orange County, and on May 1st at 7pm for $500! This fancy benefit dinner’s price also includes tickets to the convention!
Speaking of Blizzard the last wing of the Throne of thunder has opened and is available for all, including LFR! If you have an item level of 480, go and take on that annoying thunder mogu that, believe it or not, we have been working toward for a good portion of this expansion!
Star Wars Online has released its first digital expansion, Rise of the hutt cartel! So what’s this expansion offering? How about a new level cap, more endgame content, extended personal storylines, and too much more to mention! Subscribers even save 50% of it’s $19.99 price tag!
It’s almost complete! Andrew Allen, the composer of our theme, has his kickstarter winding down and it will end April 20th at 5pm. He’s at 133% funded, and he’s also released most of the tracklist that will be on the album! Thanks folks for contributing to the success of this album getting produced!
If you’ve just spun up in STO to discover brave new worlds, new life and new civilization? Well the Romulan expansion is coming very soon. A reminder that the expansion itself will be free, but there are some neat Starter Packs if you are looking to buy a few neat items!
