AIE NEWS

In case you happen to be in the Pacific Northwest this weekend, OR this tiny thing down in the south east, you can look and find AIE peoples there! PAX, in Seattle, and DragonCon in Atlanta both should have a variety of folks there! Check Meetup.com and the forums for information surrounding such! There’s also a Group me up for the dragon con folks, for easier communication (I don’t know how it works!)

 

Not to leave OTHER areas of the country out, but if you happen to be in the Phoenix, AZ area, there is a raid on Chino Banditos happening tomorrow night! That’s Friday, August 30, check the meetup.com page for more details!

 

Members of AIE In Colorado are also putting out feelers on the forums discussing a possible meetup! So far the denver metro area is under discussion. If you would like to attend, the discussion is looking really positive, so head on over to the forums and participate! Or at least help set a good date and time!

 

Coming back from a break? Or having a friend come back after an extended leave? Well don’t worry, we at AIE remember you! There is no need to fill out an application unless you are creating a new character. Just hop into AIELFO on your old character, and we can get you into the guild quickly. (And yes! You need an application for each toon! We also like to know when you have name changed!)

 

Big news from the AIE Warcraft front! We have promotions! Tetsemi, keeper of the spreadsheets and lord of the numbers has been promoted to Praetorian. Yes! We decided that even as an officer he was seeing way too much play time in game! (He was even on a raid team guys!) In other news the officers have further decided to disrupt play time by promoting member MewKow to centurion. Posts will be going up on the forums shortly for your congrat-u-dolances.

 

Looking for a fun event in AIE SWTOR on tuesday night? Well look no further! Emperor pel-patene (sp?) is holding the amazing race, of swtor! Our gracious leader has even seen fit to make the rules more flexible so that more can participate! Want to play? Well check out the forums for the full list of rules, and be in ventrilo at 9pm eastern this tuesday! And if you missed the first week, don’t worry! You can still participate!

 

There might’ve been a closed beta launch of a certain Blizzard Property, and I was looking around, I certainly didn’t SEE an NDA surrounding this, so yes! Hearthstone is in the hands of some lucky folks! Blizz seems to be giving keys away every week, we tried to get some keys to give away for the show, no such luck yet!

Do you have a cinder kitten?? Why the heck not??? Well if you are one of those who have been holding out for a sale, guess what! now is your time to shine!! The cinder kitten is 25% off for this week only, bringing the price down to 7.50! So head on over to the blizzard store and pick yourself up a pet!

 

And since we are still on blizzard news, world of warcraft has announced that they will be publishing their next patch on September 10th! Yes, all that 5.4 goodness will be out that day!! So get your alts geared! Get your toons at the ready! And for goodness sakes level those battle pets! The celestial tournament is coming and you don’t wanna be left out!! ...oh and something about garrosh.

 

OMG blizzard seriously?? More news?? Fine! Barcodes for Blizzcon have been emailed out. Please make sure that if you purchased tickets that you check your spam folders for those all important bar codes that will get you i...
