AIE NEWS

We have a new guildie of the moment! Everyone give three cheers to Liranei of World of warcraft! There was seriously so many wonderful things said about this guildie that we can’t read them all (it would be the whole podcast!) but the highlights are:

Liranei has been an incredible contributor to the Craft Faire. [When] I mentioned that I needed “fel iron, fel iron and more fel iron” and he delivered so much that I still have a guild bank tab full!
A lot of the things he does are behind the scenes things that 99% of the guild will never know about. But Liranei is too awesome to not be nominated!
Even though he helped supply most of the panther mounts given away as part of the craft fair raffle, he doesn’t own a single panther mount himself! Or rather, he didn’t until recently!
He said that I didn’t need to worry about farming Borean Leather for The Spring Craft Faire because he was providing the entire quantity needed. . .approximately 125 stacks of 20! And, this is in addition to all the other mats he has and is gathering for the past and upcoming Craft Faires.

Wow! So thank you Liranei for being a true craft fair hero and making AIE A better place for all! And if you know someone who is a model of AIE guild membership, don’t hesitate to let your fellow officers know! you can email us your nominations at officers@aie-guild.org!

Another SW:TOR officer has been put up on the chopping block for your perusal! For the whole Month of May, Neuroid will be on the forum answering all the hard hitting questions, show him what ya got.

Got your blizzcon tickets? How about tickets to the charity dinner? No on both? Well the bad new is that you missed out. Sadly tickets to all events are sold out. Awwwwwwwww. If you managed to get a spare ticket check out the Blizzcom 2013 ticket sales thread in the aie azeroth forums. Guildies are posting for tickets inside.

Speaking of tickets it looks like N13 is sold out! But don’t worry, Scott has told us, via Twitter that there will be more tickets for sale this monday! So if you have been waiting, you may want to jump on them ASAP!

The craft fair was a rousing success! Many guildies got their professions leveled and fun was had by all. We would like to give a huge shout out to Syrene and all of the members of the craft fair who gave up their time and gold to make this event fun for everyone who attended! You guys are awesome!

For those that are thinking of getting into the Secret World to find out what all the..well..SECRETS are, this might be the weekend for you! From May 3rd to May 5th is a Golden Weekend. More skillpoints, recruiting bonuses, 15 dollars worth of bonus points for buying the game, check out the link in the show notes for more details!

Star trek online just released ‘On Sceen’- episode 2 this past Monday. On screen is STO’s quarterly community show about current events in Star Trek Online and is hosted by Brandon (AKA “BranFlakes”), Community Manager for STO, and Whit (AKA “CaptainKikii”). This quarter’s show is about the new expansion ‘Legacy of Romulus’ and their all new legacy pack which is basically ships and upgrades you can purchase for your game!

Guild wars 2 has posted A guide to Flame & Frost Retribution which is a spoiler free guide to their April 30th living story update! This guide just points you in the right direction without spoiling any of the fun! So if you want the info, the schedule for the event, or just want to check it out, you should head on over.
