    AIE News

    Community

    Last year Shimmeredge start a thread in the community forum asking “Are you Ok?” and the activity has started to pick up again. Please feel free to contribute and/or post in the thread. Our thoughts go out to El Huntero who just lost a family member in October and was looking for a wee bit of support and Tynchal’s wife, Brithael who is dealing with recently discovered cancer (get your annual examinations regardless of age and sex).

    Twitter is abuzz with the Nanowrimo! Are you participating? Let your guildies know and join the support teams that are crazy busy tweeting about their experiences!

    WoW

    Reminder that this is Blizzcon week and the AIE Blizzcon Hall is available again this year. The Guild Hall will be open at exactly 8:00 AM on Friday November 6th and Saturday November 7th and will be closing down when one of the persons in charge falls asleep from exhaustion (but most likely before midnight Sunday.)

    Donations to help defray the costs are, of course, very much appreciated.

    And our own Mewkow is looking for volunteers to help run the thing, hit him up on the forums or on twitter @themewkow

    We’re fairly certain there will be a number of folks hanging out in game, in Mumble, and on Twitter discussing the news and contests, so be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to participate in the discussion, make friends, or just hang back and listen to your guildmates discuss the nuances of each announcement.

    EVE

    With the EVE Vegas announcement, CCP has officially ruined everything, or just a few people’s social lives as they thought they’d escaped from the game.

    Also the latest Cap Stable podcast discusses Amarrian Succession Trials, Eve Vegas, the CSM, and, oh yeah, Eve Vegas!

    GW2

    Don’t forget the great thread going on in the forums regarding the Beginner’s or Returner’s Guide to GW2. Good information about how to find out about things in game and how things have been updated.

    SWTOR

    Old Man Franks (Get off his lawn!) started a discussion thread in the forums asking which character they used their boost to 60 on and it’s lead to a lively discussion. Worried about picking the right character? As long as you don’t hit 61 with the newly created character, you can delete it and the next character you create will have that option again.

    http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/56840-what-did-you-use-your-free-60-on

    Are you a theory crafter, do you like oodles of numbers, and tons of possible outcomes? Well with 4.0 Knight of the Fallen Empire, there are a ton of new things to delve into. Corley, on the forums, provides links to a Reddit discussion that sparked some discussion from our own folks on our forums.
