AIE Podcast Ep 117




The AIE Podcast show

Summary: We cover the latest guild news, Acuzod tries to flummox Alludra, and we take a deep dive into AIE’s newest game, Guild Wars 2!  All that and more coming up right now. THIS is the A-I-E Podcast... AIE NEWS Secret World’s 2nd ‘issue’ release hits tomorrow, Sept 12th! With a reduced team, it’s nice to see that they’re still trying as hard as they can to hit their monthly release targets! Group finder among other things included, so check it out soon! The AIE Azeroth forums has a Jana Proudmore tides of war thread (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46855-world-of-warcraft-jaina-proudmoore-tides-of-war/) for those who have read and wish to discuss the book. So far the thread has been somewhat light on the spoilers, but if you don’t want to know anything about this amazing book I’d suggest not peeking in! AIE World of Warcraft has finished their great 6 month purge and would like to remind all members that they will go back to their three month inactive policy in October. That means that all characters who are inactive for 3 months or longer will be removed. If you find yourself suddenly outside the guild upon log in, just hop into the aielfo channel and your friendly officers will be happy to get you back in! Blizzard also decided that guild rep was too difficult to earn and buffed it, so you can earn back rep much more quickly! An old thread which is still active from time to time, is the AIE Exercise Plan (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/35582-the-aie-exercise-plan/)! I recently started up trying to get off my rear end and be more active, so started posting things as well. Its been interesting to find out what is motivating folks and what they’re using as tools to get in shape! Taxillus Transtellar is planning a roam (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/47082-taxillus-transtellar-roam-friday-september-14th-900-pm-pacific/) Friday September 14th at 9pm Pacific time. They are asking all participants to bring a pvp micro warpdrive fitted frigate. They expect to die in fiery death explosions as Tuku and Lanctharus are leading this event. Speaking of EVE, Dust 514 (http://www.dust514.com/) in beta and free to play on the Playstation 3! This FPS takes place in the EVE universe, allowing players to earn ISK and take part in battles on planet surfaces. Unfortunately this is a playstation exclusive game, so you have to have the console to take part. There’s already some talk about it on the forums (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46871-dust-514/). Rift is expecting it’s big 1.1 patch tomorrow! What’s that mean? Well it means factions are a thing of the past! Seriously! All races are now open to both factions! It is important to note that currently the AIE guild and UMAMI do not support Guardian characters, word on when and if AIE will be opening it’s doors cross faction will be coming soon on the forums. Storm legion, Rift’s first expansion, will be released November 13th! The basic edition is only $39.99 with a collectors edition only $59.99. If you are new to rift and are thinking of joining in on the fun with the expansion you can pick either edition for only 10 dollars more to get the base game and 30 days of game time! And remember, if you buy a year of rift up front, you can get the expansion for free! AIE Steam is sad to announce that TF2uesdays have been cut (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/aieguild#announcements/detail/1029326788077546500). With the influx of new games out there and Mists rolling around, attendance has been a little low. (Thanks for tuning into the podcast instead guys!)  Even so, don’t miss out on your chance to battle with and against your favorite AIE’rs on TF@ Thursdays. AIE steam also wants to help you get your co-op groups (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/aieguild#announcements/detail/1029326788077985695) going for next week’s borderlands 2 release! How? By using the AIE steam group chat! That’s right folks,
