AIE News

Community

The Warcraft movie came out this week- and we had a TON of Meetups to watch it, including one in Chicago, Phoenix, Chattanooga, LA, and of course Scott’s shindig in the Utah! If you want to schedule a meetup for a movie gathering, a guild dinner, or anything else, go to http://www.meetup.com/Alea-Iacta-Est/

Keep an eye on the Imperium Ludi section of the forums! Mewcow has been posting beta keys for the Riders of Icarus, an Eastern style MMO made by Nexon.

And, sadly, Archleon’s planned adventure of the Curse of Strahd at the Capitol Meeting Room in Madison, WI on June 26th has had to be canceled. if this is something that interests you, PM Archeleon on the forums or hit him up on twitter at @Lothmegal if this is something you would be interested in the future.

WoW

AIE WOW- under new Managment! Or is it old management? Or is it Orange is the new black- oh, we don’t know! In any case, congrats to Randy Deluxe - aka Maui- aka our guest tonight- he has accepted to take over the reigns as the big kahuna of AIE WOW! And if you know Randy, you know he is the perfect fit- he has been involved with the guild from the beginning, has been our GM already, is still very active in the game, and is highly regarded in the community.

Congrats are in order for the Hearder of the Cats and the Craft Faire folks- and a fair few raid groups, Syreyne has been promoted to Praetorian! For those who don’t know, a Praetorian is a Senior Officer rank- a step up from the Centurion rank. Oh, and free to mail Sy a Left Shark as a celebratory gift!

A big thanks to Maui and Sy, may the refrigerator in the break room be filled with all of your favourite treats.

Due to a sadly low drop rate for the garrison boss summoning items., Thuggs has changed the date on the AIE Vs Garrison Boss event to coincide with the Summer of Love! See our forums for details, or whisper Thuggs in game (or on twitter at @Alecmazzar).

And reminder you can help by farming up the boss summoning items. These items have a chance to drop upon ANY completed garrison invasion regardless of any previous invasions done that week. They are INDEPENDENT of the bag of loot drops and you have a chance each and every time you complete an invasion. Everyone can help, regardless if they've done it before. And we will need that help, because we need at least 2-4 of every item.

Speaking of Summer of Love, it is coming- sooner than you think! This year, the annual event of love and celebration runs August 1st to August 7th. Right now, the Community wide Remembrance day is Tuesday, August 2nd, Friday August 5th we have a COOP tentatively planed, and Saturday, August 6th we have Old School raid night!
