Alea Iacta Est

AIE NEWS

The Summer of Love is over! We want to thank the event organizers, participants, and donors for such a wonderful summer of love! In case you missed an event check the forums; many players posted screenshots of the fun.

Speaking of the Summer of Love, those who attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in WoW will recall the excellent firework celebration headed up by Takemikazuch. Tak asked us to pass along his thanks to the people that contributed to the tribute, including the numerous guildies for their material contributions and wonderful comments and remarks; and to the four volunteers who took time out of their lives to help him fire them off: Kavaar, Rho, Corellon, and Kutasez [cut-a-says]!

New GOTM:  Mobilehunter!
Guildie Comment: I’d like to note Mobilehunter’s generous donation of both her hearth cooldown and two chaos orbs I’d been carefully budgeting for.  My play time is limited and small things like this can go a very long way for a player like myself.
Sometimes it only takes one action to really stand out! If you would like to nominate someone for GOTM send an email to the officers! In the meantime head on over to the forums and give a big congrats to Moblilehunter.

This is a reminder to all returning members that they have a UMAMI account! Everyone that was in the guild before the move to UMAMI was set up with an account, so there is no need to make another one. Your username is based on one of your character names or your forum name. To find your username and/or reset your password, go to the password reset page using the e-mail address you used to apply to the guild originally. Making a new account just adds work for the officers and means you may be stuck at pleb status for a few months.

AIE World of Warcraft’s great purge is beginning at the end of this month. In order to keep from running out of room, any characters that haven’t logged in for over 5 months will be removed from the guild. If you have an inactive character that you want to make sure stays in the guild, just log onto them at least once before the end of the month.  Starting in October, the World of Warcraft team will be going back to the old policy of removing all characters that have been inactive for 3 months or more.

AIE’s GERP system has yielded our first settled and active new game: The Secret World! Join the Templars, Dragons or Illuminati as they battle among themselves, or perhaps unite for the greater good now and again! AIE has branched into all 3 factions, because fortunately, the chat channels are cross faction. If you are playing on Arcadia, do a /chat join AIE  and make sure to check the forum for more details!

Plans for DragonCon are still underway! If you are going and haven’t already stopped by the forums and the meetup.com site, then you are going to miss out on some great AIE Meetups! Also, check the MMO track schedule for the Extreme Guild Management panel led by our own AIE officers, and be sure to attend the MMO Party Saturday night. We’re still planning a specific AIE meetup, but we’ve also decided we’re going to just take over a table or two in the game room in the Hilton, so feel free to stop by there whenever you need to take a break.

AIE wow is also opening a new co-guild. that’s right, you loved salus so much there’s not room for pandas anymore! AIE Pondera will be opening this weekend on the 11th! we are full to bursting guys and need a new place for the pandas. If you want to join the fun of leveling another guild, let the officers know!

And with that, let’s welcome this week’s guests, Kephas and Stu!

AIE Rift is also in a pre-expansion lull, much like WoW, our own expansion “Storm legion” is expected sometime this Fall, but no release date has been released.

The new Mage Soul from the new Expansion “Storm Legion” will be revealed during a livestream event Friday, August 10th. at 2:30pm Pacific Time. Devs, including the Mage class dev will be on hand to answer player’s questions from the chat room. Personally, my bet is on the baconator class. 😀
