We have very well deserved new guildie of the moment, Halaa battles are back, and we bring Darth Bouvi and Counsellor Abovan in to give us all the updates on what's going on in AIE SW:TOR.  All this and more, on the NEW AIE Podcast.

AIE NEWS

Ladies and Gentleman, we have a new guildie of the Moment! Salem otherwise known as KillrElite on the forums! He's relatively new to the community, but has already organized a RL meetup, organized the COOP run after Lanc and and Ashayo's promotion party, and is just a great example of someone we love to have in the community, congrats to him!

One of our own, BadModem, is going for his PhD at LSU (Go Tigers!). He's doing a research project and would love to get some video responses regarding your experiences with WoW or other MMO you've spent a good amount of time with social interaction with other folks in! See his thread mmo non profit academic film on the forums for more details on how you can participate! Full link in the shownotes.

One whom we might as a consider a pillar of the AIE and Frogpants Community, Brian Ibbot, is working with Andrew Allen to produce the first official release from Coverville Records!  I think it'd be great if we could give him some AIE community support! The Album features Jazz versions of Star Trek classics!

Halaa battles are back! Solarflare of AIE warcraft is organizing an old school Halaa battle! Saturday April 21st at 8pm server be there and be ready to earn those tokens to get those old school talbuk mounts, or just have fun killing Alliance. RSVP in the forums in the thread Halaa: the reckoning the return of world player vs player action.

So we've got about a week left on this deadline, but if you are looking to get a FREE month of game-time from SW:TOR, it APPEARS that Galibond has figured out the method to get this ‘veteran bonus'. Check out the forum post for all the details, but it appears that if you hit level 50 OR Legacy level 6 before April 22 you might get such!

Reddcap from AIE Invictus wants to invite AIE and anyone else going to Nerdtacular to join us on a tour of the "Utah Truffles" chocolate factory on Friday June 22nd at 7:00 pm.  Details can be found on the "All Things Edible" podcast website here:  http://edibleshow.com/2012/03/utah-truffles-tour-sign-up/

And with that, let's welcome this week's guest Abovan & Bouvi

GAME NEWS

Craft Fair in Space is coming soon.  Contact Sophillea for more information on this and check out the thread on the forums.

DOH! lol it happns A - The Guild Bank Kickferter started Friday, March 23rd and ending Sunday, April 22nd. The tabs will not be purchased until the 30 days have ended.  Right now we have enough for the first 2 tabs in all 7 guilds.  There are some cool prizes.  Check the forums for more info.

Want to run your own event?  When I started with the guild I met up with Lanc in Atlanta toward the beginning of COOP.  I asked him what I could do to help the guild and he said “help with COOP” so I became a COOP leader.
