AIE NEWS

AIE General
There is a meetup planned for this upcoming weekend, October 17- The FFXIV officers will be hosting a mini company (guild) hall at the Rio Hotel for the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival. If you plan on being in Las Vegas for the event, sign up on the AIE meetup.com site to let us know you are coming! Also- meetup site, we have one! It is fun and easy to use to plan your next guild event!

WOW- Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide is scheduled to crash into Azeroth on Tuesday, October 14. With the patch comes the world event, Iron Horde Incursion, the new character models (but, you know, not Blood Elves or Pandas), inventory improvements, character and class changes, quality of life changes. Justice and Valor Points are no longer, but you will be receiving the equivalent of 47 silver per JP or VP in the mail.

Big Grats to Salus for unlocking the Reins of the Thundering Jade Cloud Serpent – Better Late than Never (Horkos, Monkcurious, Warlow, Tolgarr, Inorr, Jeratul, Nazari, Thuggs, Liskydruid, Malkontent, Snaf, Paavu) worked very hard to unlock this beautiful mount for Salus.

Huge Congratulations to Dignitas for opening up the Thundering Serpent Hatchling. You can pick this lovely pet up at revered at the guild vendor in Orgrimmar, but it is only available until the patch drops on Tuesday.

And thank you to the great AIE officers who have been working hard on swapping guildies around to be able to get this special mount and pet- especially Nevermore, Eagle, Mewkow, and Alachaas.

Thuggs has put a call out for ALL raiders with a toon geared 560+ and know the fight with the Garrosh Hellscream to help with the Heirloom-A-Thon. The idea is to help AIE members get as many Heirlooms as possible between the patch and Warlords. Sign up with your information on the forums.

Also, we have tons of great guildies making content and planning events right now, make sure you keep an eye on the forums and the @aie_wow twitter feed.

AIE LOTRO
In grand AIE tradition, Vanflicke has announced that those brave citizens of MIddle Earth are looking into having a membership drive/craft faire for two weeks beginning on October 23rd-ish. This may be partially due to Vanflicke’s hoarding habit, but it will benefit the kinship itself. Keep your eye on the thread on the LOTRO portion of the forums for details as they emerge.

AIE EVE with guests Stu and Turbo

SLACK – (aieu.slack.com)

If you not on there and you are in good standing with AIEU come check it out it may just spark your desire to return to eve or even allow you to reminisce about what fun you have had with us.

Deployment to Nakah! – Super lean deployment, plan on moving your own bomber(s) and maybe one or two interceptors to Nakah.

Nakah is only 12 jumps from amarr and only 2 of those jumps are Low sec making it great for anyone wishing to get a little eve time in but not committing full bore.

October Contest for a PLEX –

Email Drewson Houten in game or Hoots on the Myextralife forums with an After Action Report (AAR) you have written.

Finally, war is coming to Catch.

With the coming Jump Drive nerf/changes from Phoebe, HERO coalition, Brave Collective, and AIEU are preparing to defend Catch, as it is a relatively small region, making jumping and logistics easier.
