AIE NEWS
We have a new officer cornered, I mean, we have a new officer in the officer’s corner! Head on over to the forums to ask those burning questions to our very own amazing exploding Tuku! No question too hard, ask just about anything you want, today!
Holy cow FAN ART! We want to give a big shout out and thanks to Fen, who created an amazing drawing of our WoW characters. I don’t even know what to say, this is really really incredible. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46300-for-the-aie-podcasters/
Plans for DragonCon 2012 are shaping up! As usual, we will have an AIE meetup at the Loft Bar in the Marriott hotel, and this year we will also be conducting a panel on Guild Leadership, where we will show off some of the tools we use behind the scenes to manage AIE. If you’re going to be at DragonCon, we’d love to see you there. Make sure to check both the Meetup.com site and the forums for updates on this and other events going on at DragonCon this year.
One of our own is now involved in a turf war….with one of our own?! What is this guild coming to? You heard it on ODN, it must be true! Weigh in on the battle on the forums in the thread ‘addressing the rumors between myself and Alludra‘ started by Old man Franks. Alludra would like to go on record saying ‘I have an army and you don’t. Nyah!’
AIE raid on Chino Banditos is happening this Friday in Phoenix Arizona! If you happen to be in the area, consider dropping by at what is sure to be a memorable AIE meetup event! Details can be found in both the forums and in the meetup.com website.
World of Warcraft has released a new recruit a friend mount! The new Obsidian nightwing mount, has officially taken the place of the X-53 touring Rocket as the recruit a friend reward. This new mount, instead of being a two seater or personal mount, transforms the owner into a black winged cat! Details about how to obtain the mount and images of it in action can be found on the world of warcraft website.
Pet battles are live on the beta! Now you can begin the testing on how best to train up your own personal army! The new in game system is a bit on the buggy side and is still new, but that’s what betas are for! Log in and check it out if you are interested in giving this system a run! (It’s really a lot of fun…when it is working!)
Rift is in its second week of the summer sun celebration! Log into your free Rift Lite account to check out the new content and fun event which includes all new dailies, quests, pets, and titles! Rift has also released a new tiger mount for the low low price of $15!
Steam summer sale! In case you didn’t know, steam is having it’s annual summer sale! The sale, with discounts as low as 75% off most titles, will be running through the 22nd! Steam itself is free, and has a host of free games available for all (including TF2), but right now is a great time to score that title you have been eyeing but could never quite afford.
Summer of Love Currently the AIE guilds of World of Warcraft and StarWars The Old Republic are planning Summer of love events on July 29th through August 4th. Check out their respective forum posts for more details about the in game events planned for the celebration. Tak who is lending a hand with the fireworks this year is also looking for volunteers and donations to make our remembrance day spectacular, if you would like to help, check out his forum post Request for help: AIE remembrance day fireworks tribute.
