Welcome to episode # 222 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community. This is Alludra, and I think you are awesome, with me as always, is Mkallah (there is a blueberry sour cream pie in the guild kitchen) and right over there, we have Tetsemi. (“spread sheets blah blah”). This week we are joined by special guests Abovan and Kelseer who are here to talk to us about AIE in Final Fantasy Welcome!

Ok, we’ll be talking to Abo and Kelseer shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news...

AIE NEWS

WoW:

World of Warcraft recently sent out a surprise gift to users who have been subscribed to continually for 10 years- an amazing replica of the bronze Orc statue that stands in the courtyard at Blizzard HQ in Irvine. Didn’t receive one- don’t worry, neither did we- but lots of AIE guildies have.

In World of Warcraft, there are rumors that a Spring Craft Faire is in the works. Please keep an eye on the Professions forums (use the forums) for more details as it becomes available. If you would like to help out with the craft please contact Syreyne in game or on the forums (use the forums) to volunteer.

A friendly reminder for all guildies in WoW, as well, please utilize the AIELFG channel (not AIELFO) for organizing raids/dungeons/world bosses/PvP groups, etc. It is an open channel that the rest of the server does have access to and utilize as well, so show the AIE love and help folks out. You can join the channel by typing in your chat box /join AIELFG.

Don’t forget the Thank a Guildmate Thread as well. Someone help you out with a quest or question? Let them know they’re awesome - [email protected] http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/53240-thank-a-guildmate-thread/
