NEWS  

General AIE News:

AIE Town Hall – Saturday, December 10th, at 10pm EST (or server time!)  Please find alternates for your raid group’s vent, as we expect to fill the AIE vent to capacity.
http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/42469-announcement-aie-town-hall-scheduled-for-saturday-121011/

Raid Wrapup Reloaded – After 41 episodes, Koltrane and Ghomus have turned over the reins of the AIE Raid Wrapup to the capable hands of Sihx! We look forward to seeing what unique flavor he brings to the segment, and as one of the creators of such, I am VERY pleased he was willing to take the reigns!  NO PRESSURE!

Thanksgiving story – It’s a bit late to mention it, but Wolfshade produced an audiobook story of a thanksgiving pardon, using an all AIE cast. Check it out! You’ll recognize the voices you hear in this production!
http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/42307-thanksgiving-story-all-aie-voice-cast/

WoW:

4.3 dropped, BOOM! –  Transmogs, new instances, new raids and a dragon, oh MY! We discuss our experiences with the new content.

Darkmoon Fair – New permanent location for the fair, fun games, prizes, neat things to see. Portal to the fair is below Thunder Bluff, but there’s an NPC near the flight point in Orgrimmar that will port you to the portal.

Rules Reminder – We’ve had a large number of people join us in the lst couple of months (Yay!) and as usual, it takes some time for people to adjust to how different AIE is from any other guild. New members please read and re-read the AIE Info thread, and particularly the AIE Policies, to make sure your transition into an AIE state of mind is a happy one.
http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/17708-aie-complete-info-thread-a-must-read-for-all-aie-members/

Valorgeddon – Just a little shout out to Rockdale for his weekly Valorgeddon event. If you’re a new level 85 looking to gear up, Valorgeddon is for you. It runs almost every Thursday night and help new 85s earn Valor points and gear, and learn instances to help them get into raiding.
http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/41224-valorgeddon-most-every-thursday-evening-event-forum-thread/

EVE:

In Space, No One Can Hear You Rat – Not hearing a lot from the EVE gang. Are you guys ok out there? Do we need to send Ghomus in after you? Send us news!

RIFT:

The Rift AIE community is alive and well. Our 20 man raid team just finished the first 20-man raid this last weekend by one-shotting Lord Greenscale. You can see the kill on You-Tube through the link in the Ingrates thread on the Rift – Raiding Forum. We are all busy exploring the new Ember Islands update.

Star Wars: The Old Republic:

Beta has concluded Pre-seeding is also done! 380 people applied during the pre-seed window. If you did not get in we will extend an invite during Early Access in just a couple of weeks! Hear what we thought about the the beta.

Check your client! (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=11786689#edit11786689) Do you need to delete your beta client? Will it work?!

General AIE News:
RevnGeek’s Holiday Song!
A while back Revngeek did a song about AIE, which was done “Playing for Change” style. Many folks said, “Ooooo I want in on the next one!” Well here’s your chance. Winter Veil is almost upon us and I’ve written a take on “The 12 Days of Christmas”.

Revngeek wants to include as many people as possible. Now this is open to folks outside the guild as well, but we know the AIE peeps have a flavor for the fun. There are solos and a choir part. Most of the solos, Revngeek has people in mind for, Nudge Nudge Ghomus, nudge nudge Zod, but the choir is open call! That’s right ANYONE can be in the choir!

How can does one accomplish this? If you’ve got a decent microphone to record with and a program to record JUST YOUR VOICE, then get on it. Full details and files can be found on the AIE forums in the AIE-Azeroth section under the heading We’re getting the band back together, or go to Revngeek.blogspot.com

Could it be?! Seeing the webpage subtly updated with a date! June 23rd, 2012! Nerdtacular! Scott is also tweeting now and again about it.

WoW:

COOP run was a huge success. 113 people took down all four Alliance leaders in record time, thanks to advanced planning by Alachaas. Keep eyes on the forums for the next extra special COOP run coming up very soon.

EVE:

RIFT:

No RIFT news either. Anyone still playing the game? Speak up!

Star Wars: The Old Republic:

“You have been selected to beta test the game! Oh wait, not THIS weekend, why would you even think that?!”   Bah. Release date soon, AIE’s guilds are ready for deployment, as everyone registered for such should have ALSO seen that mail!

Also, the NDA has NOT been lifted, FYI. There are press that are allowed to talk about the specific events they attended and what was played there. Please keep the forums free of Unreleased Bioware IP.  CORRECTION: Since the recording, NDA HAS been lifted. Discuss away!

Curse offering beta keys. No idea how long they’ll be up, so grab yours now – unless of course you received the email saying you will get into the beta one of these days, in which case they may not work for you.

BLIZZCON REPORT!
The AIE Guild Hall at Blizzcon was amazing. We had the Blizzcon Virtual Ticket playing on a projector screen, so we had the best seat in the house for the Panda announcement, and we had scores of guildies hanging out, laughing, eating pizza, and just generally having a blast. We were also graced by the presence of Scott Johnson, Randy Jordan, The Turpster, Veronica Belmont, Tom Merritt, Patrick Beja, and the musical genius Russell Brower. HUGE thanks to Belthazz for setting it all up again this year. We’re already making plans for next year, and if Belthazz’s idea comes through, it’s going to be even better. (What he has planned is so amazing, I dare not mention details or other guilds or Blizzard themselves might steal the idea.). We’re also looking to create a guild hall at DragonCon next year, so if you are able to come out to either or both of those events, be there!

Contest: Thanks to the generosity of an AIE member, Daphnis, we have a mechanohog to give away! The winner was chosen from the people that submitted Call for Help questions for this epispde.  And the winning question was submitted by Blantern!

Q: Hey AIE podcast, I’ve been in the guild for awhile yet I’ve only met a handful of people, mostly limited to the little playing time that I get. How can I maximize the experience I have in AIE with the limited play time that I get in my hectic life?

A: If you can’t find time to enjoy AIE in game, you can always get involved with AIE out of game! Our forums are a hotbed of conversations and ideas, and they are always available whenever you are! You can also meet AIE members near you in RL! (See below)

Thanks to all who submitted questions!

If anyone has a question about AIE or any of the games we play, send them to us and maybe you’ll get to hear us answer you in the show!

AIE in RL
Speaking of AIE out of game, we have a lot of meet-ups and other events where AIE’ers get together in that thing called “Real Life”. Send us your RL encounter details and we’ll plug them on the show! Here are some AIE in RL adventures coming up soon:
