AIE NEWS

Guildside News

Those fine folks down in Arizona are at it again! This time with a guardians of the galaxy type meetup on saturday August 2nd. Not out Mkallah’s way? Well what about Zod’s on August 28th for AIE’s Dragoncon meetup? No? Still out of the way? Well how about you set up your own meetup! We have a site for that! Joining is free, planning is easy, and hey! It emails everyone for you!

AIE’s ventrillo server has a deadline! Have you noticed that vent has been a ghost town lately? Well we have recently started the great migration over to mumble! The ventrillo server, sadly, is going down in september, so make sure you install mumble and move your chats over! Worried about your log in? Well don’t! Your UMAMI credentials are your mumble credentials!

World of Warcraft

A post on twitter has confirmed that model updates for the blood elves will not be available for the launch of Warlords of Draenor. No news when the patch including their updated models will hit, but we don’t imagine the horde’s fairest race will have to wait too long. This is the only race that will be patched in later fortunately, which is pretty good since blizzard announced early on that not every race would be updated for the launch.

Beta news!! Have you seen all the fantastic pets added to the beta?? (yes alludra wrote this!) well they are the bringers of big news, it seems blizzard is revamping the holidays! You know, those events in game where sudden wreaths appear and you are supposed to do things that have grown stale? Well the beta is pointing to new events, with new prizes, and yes, new pets! Yay!!

This weekend- the valor buff is back in Wow- starting tomorrow and going through Sunday.

Final Fantasy

Recruit a friend has hit Eorzea! If you have a friend tentative about trying out Final Fantasy 14, now’s your chance to get them in the game, with a bonus to you! Simply send them a message through the mog station to earn rewards when they pay for their first month of game time. What kind of rewards? How about a new hat that helps boost leveling (until level 25) or a multi passenger mount!

Final fantasy is also celebrating their one year anniversary soon! To kick off the planned festivities, they are holding a video contest! If you think you have what it takes to make an awesome video celebrating the first year of the game, check it out! The top 100 entries will get prizes!

SWTOR

Not to be outdone buy all the great things our guests are going to fill you in on, swtor is also running it’s own summer of love event! This is a great chance to dive back into the game and catch up on everything you may have been missing! Details are on the forums, and the events are going on all weekend!

The Secret World

The secret world folks are finally throwing off the shackles of Pyramidion making them redact everything and are planning and august 8th raid on New York city. If you are looking to sign up, the forums are the place to be! Priority will be given to AIE members, but raid slots will also be open to out of guild members, so sign up fast and reserve your spot!

Lord of the Rings Online

Saturday August 2nd, a very busy day it seems, is also the day Lord of the Rings will be holding their own remembrance day festivities. Be in the game at the prancing pony at 8pm eastern, with mumble already configured.

Vanflicke has also pointed out via the forums that there is housing available in the kin’s neighborhood.
