Community

Summer of Love is coming! More discussion shortly, but first, the links!

NOMADS

Nomads have launched a guild in Albion Online. It's a lot like Ultima Online, meets Diablo 3, meets Eve. If you are interested in joining the guild, head to the #Nomads channel on AIE Discord, or contact Argus or Jehdai for information. Also there is a forum post with more information in it as well. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57441-aie-in-albion/

WoW

Just wanted to give a shout out to Russell Brower for all the work he did at Blizzard Entertainment on the music and sound tracks of all the Blizzard games. His position was ‘made redundant’ due to some corporate restructuring of the audio teams and we wish him well. He has a solo album coming up and will still be doing three Video Games Live concerts in the future. You can follow him on Twitter and Facebook to see what he’s up to!

SWTOR

Our usual SWtOR MFN on Tuesday will be focused on SoL. Maybe a Running of the Pancakes on Hoth, a Galaxy World Boss hunt and a trip to get the harder to reach datacrons or something similar. I'm sure @Max will have a bunch of "Mandatory Fun" stuff for us to do.

This week. Tuesday July 25th, MFN will be on the Imp side and next week it will be on the Pub side.
