AIE NEWS

AIE WOW: Level 90 boost available now.

For you World of Warcraft players who have been looking forward to the ability to boost a character up to level 90, Blizzard has just released that option as part of the pre-order of the Warlords of Draenor expansion. You know you’re going to buy it anyway, right? Well now you can buy the expansion and get your new level 90 in time to actually get some raiding in.

 

AIE WOW: Hearthstone Mount

Also for you WoW players, Blizzard has released a beautiful new mount, but don’t get your wallets out, this mount is entirely free. All you have to do is download Hearthstone and win three games in Play or Arena mode, and you will earn the Mount Up achievement, plus get the Hearthsteed mount to fly around on in Azeroth.  This is a beautiful horse mount, with a stone body and blue ethereal wings, hooves, mane, and tail. (A little too Alliancey for my taste, but yeah, I had to get one.)

 

AIE WOW: Spring Craft Faire Reminder

We’re just one month away from the Spring Craft Faire in World of Warcraft, and thanks to the recent boost-to-90 deal from Blizzard, we’ve had hundreds of new level 90s join the guild over the last couple of weeks. Yes, hundreds, and they all need to get their skills up, so the craft faire captains have put out an emergency call for help. They need lots of mats to feed the hungry newbies. So if you’re in the middle of the pre-expansion doldrums and have some time to kill, or just want to help out, contact the craft faire captain of your choice and see what mats they could use help with gathering.

 

AIE EVE: Capture of Noobtropolis

Those hardy adventurers in Eve Online have had quite a month. Right after the mass migration to a new area of space last week, this week AIE, as part of the BRAVE alliance and HERO collective, have captured their first space station in null security space, and have appropriately renamed it Noobtropolis. Now their job is really just beginning, as they have to hold on to control of the station and fend off evil space people who would take it for themselves. As the name implies, AIE’s new alliance is very friendly to new players, so if you’ve ever wanted to jump into this exciting and sometimes overwhelming space battle game, now is the perfect time.

 

AIE GERP: Diablo 3 Community

If you’ve ever played Diablo 3, and who hasn’t really, you may be interested to know that patch 2.0 brought Clans and Communities into the game. Of course AIE is all about community, so of course AIE has a community running in Diablo 3. Just search for “Alea Iacta Est” to join, but remember, like most AIE communities, please keep everything family friendly, and hang in there if things get rough, they’re still trying to figure out how everything works.

 

AIE RIFT: New Stuff Coming

We actually have some news from the land of AIE in Rift! Yay! Trion has just released a new Conquest map, called Steppes of Infinity, four new souls for the 2.7 expansion - Cleric, Warrior, Rogue, and Mage, a new digital gaming platform called Glyph, two new community managers, the return of Mech Week, and the extension of the Carnival of the Ascended. Wow! No news for weeks, and then suddenly they let loose the floodgates. If you haven’t stepped into Rift in a while, you might want to hop back in and find out what’s going on.

 

AIE FF: Glamours

And finally, the gang over at Square Enix have announce a new feature for you Final Fantasy players - Glamour Prisms. Glamour Prisms will project the look of one piece of gear onto another,
