AIE NEWS
AIE: Podcast 200
Before we dive into game news, we want to remind everyone that The AIE Podcast Episode 200 Spectacular Spectacular will be coming up in three weeks. It’ll be a pretty big shindig, with several star-studded guests! AIE Final Fantasy member Rounca Pardylle [rounce-uh parr-dill] has donated two Everquest Landmark Closed beta keys and a copy of Final Fantasy XIV to give away, and we’ll also be saying a fond farewell to Ghomus after more than three years at the helm of this show. We’d love to read or play messages from you as well. You can send emails and MP3 files to podcast@aie-guild.org.
AIE: General
It’s been in the works for a while, but Stigg finally announced testing has begun on AIE’s Mumble server. We’re taking a look at Mumble to see if people prefer it over Ventrilo, so please give it a try and let Stigg know what you think. The really cool thing is, the Mumble server tied to UMAMI, so you can sign in using your personal UMAMI username and password. No more having to deal with Vent password changes. The server is at mumble.aie-guild.org on port 64738 – which is the default, so you don’t need to worry about remembering that. If you need any help signing in, instructions are in the forums.
AIE: Nomads
Even the amazing AIE Nomads are not immune to the Summer doldrums. Lotwook has announced they’ll be taking a break from wandering into any major games over the summer, but they’re going to keep Minor League Game Night going strong, so make sure to vote and join in on the fun. On a side note, Lotwook asks for any Nomads travelling to Nerdtacular next month to please post pics from the event in the Nomads forums.
AIE: Imperium Ludi
We’ve got are a few updates from the up-and-coming games riding the Imperium Ludi bus: The Elder Scrolls gang has announced that the guild bank is nearly full. Gorgesh has cleared some space, but there are crafting mats coming out of the seams, so if you’re into crafting, get in there and put them to use. In Wildstar, Khlaw is warning everyone that the guild has almost reached the guild cap, so they’d like all you cupcakes to please remove any alts you don’t actively play, and ask that you keep to just your main and maybe one alt in the guild until the game gets over that new game smell and membership settles down. And for you Heroes out there,AcuZod has posted a Google Spreadsheet for everyone that has been lucky enough to get into the Alpha so far to share their battle tags. The link is in the Imperium Ludi section of the forums. He has also set up a chat room on the Vent server to help people get together and play. Look for “The Storm Shelter.”
AIE: WOW
For you AIE members running around that special place we call Azeroth, EverStudious is looking to put together agroup to knock out old content,complete achievements, and pick up mounts and pets. If you’d like to run some old school content, give him a shout, or feel free to arrange your own runs on the Team Recruitment section of the WoW forums.
also in case you missed it the guardian cub is off the market
Also, the quiraji guardling is out! if you missed him last summer go grab him,
AIE: EVE
Lots of news from the spreadsheets in space gang. First, Lanctharus posted a military update covering changes in [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], which is very important, especially for those of you that [REDACTED] late at night. He also announced the corporation will be running nightly ratting fleets every night starting the night of June 29th, at night. This will be to generate revenue to keep providing free ships to players. Those free ships will probably all get ‘sploded on July 8th, as that’s when they will be undertaking a Major, Military, Maneuver, which we are not allowed to discuss in detail on this podcast, because… SPIAS. If you’re interested in taking part in this attack, or defense, or thing that I can’t say what it is, check that you know where place.
AIE: SWTOR
In a galaxy far, far, away, Max has declared Tuesdays to be Mandatory Fun Night. The goal of Mandatory Fun Night is to have fun, so don’t worry about your gear, or how well you play, or anything like that. Just show up. Remember, SWTOR is free, and Mandatory Fun Night is mandatory, so there’s no excuse. Max will know if you’re not there. Max knows eevveeryythhiinngg.
AIE: TSW
You may not have known this was a thing, but apparently you can load text adventure games to play inside The Secret World. AIE Secret Member DottWarner posted a link to a text adventure game created by Dott and Jermaine called The Horned God. It’s the first of a series of text adventures games they are working on, so if you like to get all inception-y and play a game while you’re playing a game, you’re just gonna have to check it out.
AIE: LOTRO
For you AIE Hobbitses out there, Dux shared a link to Turbine’s 2014/2015 roadmap for Lord of the Rings Online. Covered in the roadmap are things like the two upcoming updates this year to roll out the the Army of the Dead, a new class called The Beorning, which is a caster class that can transform into a bear, a new system of crafting tied to the kinship house, special events related to Hobnanigans, which are also known as chicken hockey, and much much more.
AIE: STO
If you’ve been waiting for a great deal before you go where no one’s gone before, now is the time. Perfect World has put their lifetime subscription on sale at 30% off. It’s now just a one-time fee of $199 to be a lifetime Gold subscriber to Star Trek Online. That’s like paying for 14 months of World of Warcraft, and getting it free forever. I wish I could do that. Of course, STO is free to play, so it’s not be quite the same thing, but if STO is your game, and you love all the benefits of being a Gold member, you’ll probably want to jump in on this deal.
AIE: FF
And finally, let’s get back to Abo and Bonroku to talk about AIE in Final Fantasy…
