NOMADS
Destiny 2
Same as last time, really. Activity has been a bit higher but not anything to report on the “AIE activity” front.
Beginning on 1 Dec, Battle.net accounts will no longer be supported for user signins to the Bungie website or Destiny companion app. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/PCMove
Additionally, anyone with an old PC only clan membership (Blizz) account, pre-Steam migration will be kicked from the clan to free up some room for member applications. You can always be re-invited should you return to the game via the Clan page linked in the discord pinned topics: https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2?groupid=2122972
Claim your Prime Gaming Rewards for Destiny 2: https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/destiny2

WoW
Just a reminder, Noob Raid is on break and will resume on January 9th at 11pm Server (EST) so people can take their time leveling in the expansion and enjoying the holiday season.
AIE WoW Block party was a fun time, both Alliance and Horde sides. Thanks to GustyTail for heading up the party!
If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the new systems in Shadowlands, here’s a good Week 1 guide once you hit level 60 – https://www.wowhead.com/news=319393/what-to-do-week-1-of-shadowlands-weekly-and-daily-activities-list#weekly-to-do-list-for-week-1-of-shadowlands
Reminder to use the Guild Finder and search for Alea Iacta Est on Earthen Ring US either Horde or Alliance. Once your application is approved, you’ll need to go back in and accept the invitation.
WoW Classic
The UO raid team cleared BWL for the second time!
Join us for MC on Saturdays, BWL on Sundays, and starting on AQ40 with 1/9 bosses so far!
Guild chat is connected via Greenwall with United Orgrimmar, so feel free to chat and group up to level with our friends!
Vanilla “Sundae” Fundays is starting a tentative holiday schedule for November/December. So keep an eye on the discord channel for updates each week! And due to the time change we will be starting at 1pm Eastern!
If you’re active in WoW Retail that means you’re able to play WoW Classic too! Let us know if you make a toon, need a guild invite, or bags to get started!
SWTOR
SEE GAME NOTES
ESO
Recent MFN’s have been focused on clearing zones of Skyshards, exploring delves and public dungeons, killing world bosses, and dungeon runs.
We have continued the tradition of following Kini off cliffs and getting lost while searching for Skyshards.
The Undaunted Event Runs from December 3rd to December 15 which is an event focused on the four person instanced dungeons and the daily delve quest from Bolgrul.
MFN’s will be focused on doing the daily delve quest as well as splitting up into groups of four to tackle run the daily dungeons for Undaunted Reward Boxes and the first one of the day will include 3 event tickets.
Please feel free to raid the guild bank for items your characters might need
FFXIV
Thursday Night Bozjern (BOSH-jen) Front nights are still going on. Working on that resistance weapon? Just want to stick it to the evil empire? Come meet up at the FC house at 9:30PM EST.
Map Nights still continue to be profitable and fun. Grab your 80 (with all of the zones unlocked), your treasure hunting spirit, and some good humor as we meet on the lawn of the FC house at 9:30pm EST on Saturdays.
Patch 5.4 Futures Rewritten, has been previewed and scheduled to release on December 8th!
And for proof that the patch is on it’s way, we have the hype story trailer for the patch, right here. Check the show notes on aie-guild.org for the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybuvKVzVBT4&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=FINALFANTASYXIV
If you are looking for more details from the Live Letter that explained all of these updates, well, you can watch the live stream on demand, but it’s all in Japanese, so unless you know the language, you will need to use the many translations are that are up on the FFXIV reddit page.
Of course, down in #ffxiv channel in the AIE discord, we always jump on the patch notes as soon as they hit to talk about the details of the changes that we see that may not have been covered in the patch previews. So, jump on down, and we hope to see you adventuring with us in Final Fantasy XIV.
STO
Fleet Nights are Sunday at 8:30 PM run by @Dent .

With the Yuletide Festival coming next week we will hangout in Frostbluff
Things are being planned for January, so stay tuned
