GAME NEWS

Lanctharus: Hello again! I hope you made it through the holidays without losing your mind, patience or amassing a huge amount of holiday debt. I will not ask how your waistline fared as mine has suffered greatly. /cry

Been busy playing games that I swore to myself that I was not going to buy myself before Christmas. Damn you STEAM! I haven’t been playing Lanctharus much as of late as I have been focusing on my original main that I first started in Warcraft. Man did I miss playing a warrior. I guess I have a thing for smacking things with oversized two handed weapons.

Which btw according to the latest patch notes, Blizzard why you nerfing me? *sniffles
Shockwave and Second Wind

[Ask Mkallah how her game time and holidays have gone]

Lanc talks about losing his smartphone. Which had his authenticator installed on.. Which means he had to call Blizzard… But no worries I got my access back but while we are at it let’s talk a little about account security.

Mathannug reminded me that the AIE Gaming Community will be celebrating its 6th anniversary on February 13th. What and how are you planning on celebrating this milestone?

Although we are still very early in the planning stages I called dibs on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 16th. We are going to have a party on a massive scale so bring your best looking gear, tabards, banners, mounts. Oh and you may want to bring along a few pieces of PvP gear.

*Maniacal laughter

[Talk about some fond memories of the AIEGC]

Lanc:
Founding of the Centurions and our first ever meeting
Crashing Blizzcon 2008
The first time we stepped into Mana Tombs with Stigg, Xanar and Parlett.
That one time I got squashed like a bug trying to tank my very first heroic. (Hellfire Ramparts)

Guild bank gold discussion. Average weekly gold loss is averaging about 16K, At current rate gold reserves will be depleted mid 2015. The guild repair gold limit of 50g per day per toon will continue but remember that we reserve the right to update the repair amount when necessary.
