AIE News

Community

The AIE Guildhall at Blizzcon was successful, lots of friends and guildies met up, hung out, and a few podcasts were recorded. Just a reminder, the AIE Guildhall at Blizzcon is not just the AIE WoW Guildhall, but for the whole community of AIE and friends. Planning is already underway for next year’s guildhall so we can get a jump on preparations to make it more awesome. Big thanks to Mewkow and Lanctharus who help organize the guild hall and to all the volunteers and people who donated their time, effort and money to make it a success.

Also, did you know we have a general community section in the forums? We do, it’s for anything about the community, meetup planning, or general topics the AIE Community wants to discuss. Join in a topic already started or make your own, this is your community, let’s celebrate.
