On this episode of The AIE Podcast... Tetsemi: Comicon is coming! Mewkow: Help create the Ashes of Creation Mkallah: Any plans for Summer of Love? Tetsemi: Come for the fun nights! Mewkow: And, we are our own guest tonight All that and more coming up right now... Podcast Audio Raw Video http://youtu.be/HaRKX6AU0wY Open Welcome to episode #275 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Mkallah: To my left is Tetsemi: - (I have spreadsheets for my spreadsheets). And to my right is Mewkow (Greetings, Gamers!). This week we are joined by ourselves and we are here to talk to us about AIE Welcome! Ok, we'll be chatting shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news... AIE News Community Phoenix Comicon is coming up next weekend and several AIE folks will be in attendance as vendors and attendees. If you want to see Mkallah and Nevermore, stop by booth 501/503 and browse their wares! If you want to see Alachaas and Leontine (Ozarin) stop by the 501st Legion Outpost and you be able to catch a glimpse of them or take a shot at them in the Shoot a Trooper game! Bouvi will be at booth 396 & 398 (Hero Initiative), stop by and say hi! Keep an eye out on Meetup.com to see if any of the Phoenix guildies are meeting up at Comicon or for a food gathering nearby! Imperium Ludi With the recent announcement by Bungie and Blizzard that the Destiny 2 game will be utilizing the Blizzard Launcher and the Friends/Chat/Voice capabilities it provides, Durus has started a new poll asking folks that are buying Destiny 2 which platform they'll be playing on. Consider this a check of the community for possible AIE organizational activities :) http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57425-destiny-2-discovery/ Galadeon brings us a new update for Ashes of Creation, they've launched a Kickstarter and it's fully funded, you still have 11 days (from this recording) if you want to contribute and have a chance to get into the alpha. There is a new video up for the Kickstarter, and I, personally, am waiting on the 3rd and 4th Nodes videos. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57396-ashes-of-creation/ NOMADS Corley is hosting a Rust server and a very tight knit community has been actively playing on it. The server is being kept up to date with patches and other features as they become available. If you'd like to try Rust out and play with AIE folks, drop by the #survival-exploration channel on Discord for more information. WoW Still working on getting flying in Legion? Some tips and tricks for tracking what you need to do and how to get a little edge on the harder factions to get to revered can be found in the forum thread http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57404-tracking-your-legion-pathfinder-status/ Summer of Love (slated for the beginning of August) planning is in full swing. If you'd like to run an event, contact Syreyne on the forums, in Discord, or on one of her many alts in game! There will be a CooP run, a Running of the X (most like in conjunction with CTR guild like last time), a Remembrance Day meet up at the Shrine of the Fallen Soldier and a march to Orgrimmar. With Ralff's passing this year, it will be especially meaningful for the guild. Keep an eye on the Discord channels and forums for the other games as well for their activities! SWTOR Roka_imo (on the forums) has rejoined the Wars among the Stars and the forum posting contains a lot of good information for folks recently returning to the game as well as guild activities and things to focus on in game while leveling up. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57419-back-again-into-the-wars-amoung-the-stars/ Mandatory Fun Night will be on the pub side this week and then imp for the next two, continuing the rotation and getting both factions some love! The summer "roadmap" should be published soon from Bioware. We saw a few hints of what to come earlier from Keith, but the full roadmap with, hopefully,

AIE News Community Don't forget, the AIE Guildhall will be happening at the Hilton during Blizzcon, November 4th and 5th at the Anaheim Hilton. Stay tuned for more details as they are released. WoW Legion, AIE has lots of raid teams - http://forum.myextralife.com/forum/13-team-recruitment/ and they're looking for raiders.

On the 29th, Nevermore & Allanya are hosting Harry Potter Trivia at Hogwarts 2PM server, classrooms to be announced later. And, join Alachaas for the RUnning of the Dead, time and location to be announced. We are always looking for guildies that want to host in-game events for AIE! There are so many different aspects of World of Warcraft to base your event on, including: Normal/Heroic/Mythic Legion Dungeons World Quests Pet and Mount Collecting PvP Battlegrounds and Arenas RolePlay Gatherings Scavenger Hunts Transmog Contests Unlock Achievements Visit the Darkmoon Faire Level Professions Grind Reputations In-Game holiday themed activities and MORE! If being an AIE Event Host sounds like something you would like to participate in, please contact Officer Nevermore.

Oh, and just a reminder, the Warcraft movie will be available to purchase on Tuesday, September 27th in most locations. FFXIV Patch 3.4, Soul Surrender, is coming this week on Tuesday, September 27th. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/special/3_4_Soul_Surrender/ Main Story Quest progress (Finish Final Coil T4 first!)

Also, rumors abound of the FF14 officer team potentially stealing the Mandatory Fun night formula for their own uses. GW2 If you've bought GW2 please jump into the game. There isn't a subscription fee, so once you've bought the game, the only money you need to spend is to buy expansions when they come out. And speaking of expansion, with Heart of Thorns, it's a good time to help work on unlocking the guild hall. If you bought Heart of Thorns you can log in and get a free level 80 character. http://buy.guildwars2.com/store/gw2/en_US/html/pbPage.heartofthorns?_ga=1.127548813.1817224794.1469643919&cid=32:5::::Global:40 http://forum.myextralife.

Ok, we'll be digging into The Secret World and Star Trek Online shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news... AIE News Community- A HUGE congratulations to two amazing members of our guild- Mathanug and Najara. Yesterday, Math was lucky enough to marry Naj, a wonderful person that I call my Steampunk Sis! Best of luck to the two of you, as you level in life together. Guildie of the month- This month we had a bit of a departure from our normal procedures. Our guildie of the month is officially non other than Syreyne, the official herder of cats and mistress of the Craft Faire. Sy, being the great person that she is, originally declined the honor, since the craft faire is a huge collaboration, but was sweetly informed by Jehdai that there is no back plan, and she is the guildie of the month. Read Jehdai's interview with Syreyne on the guild website www.aie-giuld.org. And, to keep the “boss” happy, here is the list of the CO-guildies of the month, the craft faire crew: Nevermore, Ugnaught, Amijade, Liranei, Elcarth, Velazarius, Zaalginar, Sedaar, Tynchal, Prinadora, Anwyl, Maguswynds, Muagramar, Blessedchild, Alachaas, Saisri, Medicakes, Aerwen, Cocoamoo, Twikk, Tetsemi, Mkallah, Shojobeat, Allanya, Locke, Elhuntero, Vikkela, Mercyn, Sqweazle, Brithael, Lirianna, Grimcow, Chillreis, and Frodo. And, Best of luck in recovery to Kerub. She went into the hospital on May 27th for a Spinal Fusion (owww). If you see her around, please give her very gentle hugs. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/56355-kerub-is-going-to-the-hospital-tommorow Meetup- Summer time is here - time for meetups!

Podcast Audio Raw Video http://youtu.be/I-spqYm9OhA (M) Welcome to episode # 225 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community. This isMkallah- and there is some anniversary cake in the guild kitchen. And right over there, we have Tetsemi (Catch Phrase here ). This week we are joined by our amazingly special guests - Stigg and Ralff, who are here to talk to us about AIE's 8th Anniversary! Welcome! Ok, we'll be digging into our big anniversary show shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news... AIE NEWS (T)- Huge Congrats to Alachaas and Leontine on the birth of their level 1 human, Aria Rose. Daddy is a Tank, Mommy is a Hunter- word has it, sweet little Aria will be getting her account soon and will learn to heal so they can LFG as a family. Shadow Priest was mentioned, but we'll see how that works out for them. (M) - AIE is also celebrating as it's our 8 year anniversary. If you want to share your history with AIE, the is a google doc linked in the show notes and on the forums. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mlRhV-ZZWEUHrUoBWFTiF-EYccBevfB0FJTW5N9cuVs/viewform AIE in WoW had two weekend events to honor this momentous occasion: The ever lovely Nevermore held an in game Meet and Greet event yesterday, to celebrate Valentines day and the Love of AIE! It was a massive success, and an impromptu Warcraft Trivial Pursuit game broke out. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/55727-valentines-day-meet-greet-event/ And today, to share the love of PVP, Sparrow and crew ran an assault on Ashran with a might, fury and humor seldom seen on the field of battle. This event ran from 2-6 server time, and feedback from twitter indicates that this was an event enjoyed by all! http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/55708-bloody-valentine-event-pvp/ (T) - In February 2007, Alea Iacta Est was formed by the creators and fans of several popular podcasts (a guy you may of heard of, Scott Johnston/Gerp -guy from The Instance and ELR, Randy/ Maui from the Instance, Veronica- Winema from Buzz out Loud, and Mahalo Daily, Len from Jawbone Radio, and the crew from WoW Addons. AIE has gone through a few iterations- initially, the name of the guild was I Eat Babies, but that was quickly changed due to it not being family friendly- and Alea Iacta Est- Latin for “the Die has been Cast” was chosen as the new name. Before the start of Cataclysm, we were the largest guild in North America, though due to guild caps placed by Blizzard, we had to break into much smaller co-guilds. We are so large, we have 11 co-guilds, all bound together by the Greenwall created by our own robot and master planner, Stigg. And with that, let's get to Ralff and Stigg and talk about AIE in the past, present and future ... GAME NEWS Interiew/Discussion Mkallah- Ralff and Stigg, thanks so much for joining us. Both of you have been in AIE for a long time, and have been a huge factor in our community - what brought you to AIE originally? (Once they are done, the hosts can go around and answer the same topic) Tetsemi - Due to our sheer number, AIE tends to be forced to create our own solutions to problems that Blizzard never anticipated - in fact, there are times that we have our own trending topic on Twitter, #AIIEproblems! Can you guys give us some insight on how we go about creating new tools, especially for AIE? What sort of iterative process do you go through from problem identification to solution and creation? Mkallah- The fact that AIE is active, in and out of game, is a big part of our culture - Stigg - what was your first real life AIE event and your most memorable?

First off, we want to apologize for the sporadic podcasts the last few weeks- this time of the year makes it hard to record- or even, evidently, post the normal show. Thanks you, Alachaas and Hunts, for stepping in last week. That is all in the past, though- This week we are joined by special guests Rattozatto who is here to talk to us about AIE in The Secret World. Welcome!

If so, there are threads in the AIE community sections of the forums listing IDs. Also, there are lots of smaller games either ongoing or starting up all of the time, see the Imperium Ludi section of the forum for more details. You acn also follow @AIENomads on twitter or check out the forums at http://forum.myextralife.com/forum/74-aie-nomads/ for all the information. I'm sure with all the games received over the holidays they will be picking up their roaming ways after the new year. Shimmeredge has started a great thread on the forums- just asking- Are you Okay? A lot of us have problems- especially this time of the year, and it is nice to have a place to just vent, talk, give and get virtual hugs, etc. And just for fun- Snaf wants to know what you got for Christmas! Reading the thread, it looks like a lot of AIE was indulged in some great geeky holiday gifts. So guys, what did you enjoy the most this season? Mkallah: - WoW: In pet news, Blizzard is celebrating Winter Veil by offering holiday savings of 50% on select World of Warcraft mounts and pets. Through January 5, 2015, take advantage of somg great deals in the Battle.net Shop. And the best thing is that all of these pets and mounts are fully giftable.

Also, the AIE officers in ALL games are always looking for new Guildies of the month- they can be reached at GOTM@gmail.com. We try to announce our all star at the first of every month.

If you want to hear more about the game, be sure to tune in next week when we'll have Grimbane on to talk about AIE's expansion into ESO. http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/   April fools day! Did you see all Blizzard did? Fake patch notes, fake expansions, whole bunches of crazy stuff! What about guild wars 2's bobble head prank? Players who logged in to guild wars 2 found their avatars had bobble heads! I personally liked the fake patch notes put out by Blizzard, like the one that says Using the Mage spell Blink will now attract the attention of creepy angel statues. Don't Blink, and the one for Paladins - New Ability: Renounce. When cast, Renounce permanently changes the Paladin into a Warrior. (I think that was intended for Alachaas) http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/13611769/april-fools-4-2-2014 http://www.gamespot.com/articles/april-fool-s-day-prank-makes-guild-wars-2-characters-have-huge-heads/1100-6418693/   Just a reminder, AIE in The Secret World has low level fun runs every Monday night at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific! You don't need fancy gear or really any sort of experience, the TSW crew is more than happy to see you through the dungeon experience!   Speaking of TSW, they have had their state of the game for April.  The story of the AEGIS system is explained, PvP changes for El Dorado, and a 10.5 gear path will be available.  Even bigger news, next week an adventure pack will be released with four new Investigation missions.  These are the signature missions of The Secret World, where you need to solve a puzzle with clues.   Blizzard's desktop app has added chat functionality! Now you can talk to your friends in game without being logged in!! Unfortunately there is no way to opt out of the chat client without during off the bnet client. You also can't ‘appear invisible' or offline. To update your app to get the chat simply log out and reload it. It will start updating immediately! ...or apparently it will ask you to update in a few minutes.   World of Warcraft's latest expansion, Warlords of Draenor, has just released their alpha patch notes! These are crazy long and hold the first glimpse of Blizzard's newest expansion. So head over and see them before they start slashing through them with red marks and overwrites!

AIE NEWS For any AIE/Tadpool/frogpants people going to DragonCon this year, Revenar has set up a GroupMe group for everyone. GroupMe is a service that lets you send or receive text messages from everyone in the group, without everyone having to give out their phone numbers to everyone else. You can also message everyone from the GroupMe website. The GroupMe information is already posted to both the Facebook group as well as the Extra Life Forums in the "General Yappin' Section, but he also wanted to share the link here!   There was a time when EVERYONE had a WoW signature on the forums. (The forums? Did someone say forums? Go to the forums!)  But as everyone knows now, we've branched into so many games, a single game signature just won't cut it! There is a very cool thread on the forums where a few awesome folks are trying to get one generated for ALL the games that AIE uses!   We tend to mention the Imperium Ludi section of the forums now and again, but it looks like Final Fantasy is really gathering some steam! It's very clearly in the expedition phase of GERP right now, but there is a TON of activity on the forums. People talking about dates for when things will drop, what sort of things they're planning on doing on launch, etc. Get your votes in and voice heard as the GERP progresses! Don't forget, we have Greenwall in Real Life! You can chat with other AIE members, even when you're not in a game, by using our Jabber server. Jabber is a text chat system that works with a large number of chat clients, so you can find any client you like, point it to our Jabber server, and chat the day away. The information you need to point to our Jabber server is in the forums, or you can even use the Jabber web client found on the front page of the guild website at aie-guild.org   Speaking of Greenwall, you coders in the community may be interested to know that the WoW Greenwall add-on code has been posted to Github, along with other AIE-developed software. If you have some free time and wish to lend your coding skills to the guild, check out our Github, where you will find the link to Stigg's email address to get invited to the party.   Most AIE members are really into fantasy games, and Fantasy Football is no exception. It looks like the Frogpants Fantasy Football League has filled up, but Younhoi from AIE World of Warcraft is looking to see if there's any interest in starting an AIE Fantasy Football League. If you're up for it, respond to his post in the forums. There's no money involved, so you can play without losing anything but your pride - unless you can pick a good team, of course.   We want to give a big shout-out to AIE World of Warcraft for their amazing COOP run last week during the AIE Summer of Love. They took over the Alliance Pandarian city, Shrine of the Seven Stars, which I think is a first for our server. Big thanks to Alachaas and the rest of the COOP leadership for holding that event. Alachaas has promised another COOP run coming up soon. If you want to let him know you're interested, you can reach him on Twitter at @Alachaas   For you hairy-toed AIErs who didn't get a chance to partake in the Lord of the Rings Online Summer Festival, Turbine has extended the event to run through this weekend, so it's not too late for you to jump in and get all those goodies you want before the festival shuts down for the year.   Breaking news, Revenar has posted up a link for the Remembrance Day video they made:  http://www.twitch.

With the weather turning nice in most places, tons of meetups are getting organized! The meetup.com site has been getting a lot of new guildie action like the Raid on Harry Hofbrau in San Jose, CA on April 20th, and the Raid on Dave & Busters in Ontario CALIFORNIA on April 26th,  and finally, Novaluna on the forums wants to know if anyone will be going to Wizard World in Phillidelphia this June.   Craft faire is happening in just two weekends! And afterwards? COOP run. Alachaas and his crew want to make sure with all the nifty items crafted at the faire get some proper use. The Alliance surely wants to see all these 600 level crafters bearing down on their cities? Riiight?   Love AIE so much that you are considering transferring servers to join us? Well your friendly AIE officers would like to remind you to fill out your application for your newly transfered character after you make the jump to make sure you won't have a forced name change on arrival, or if you do, you can fill out your app with the new info.   Blizzcon tickets will be going on sale on April 24th at 7pm PDT and again on the  27th at 10 am PDT on the official blizzcon site! If you have the $175 and are feeling lucky go ahead and try to snag some! And if that's not expensive enough for you, Blizzard is holding a benefit dinner for the Children's hospital of Orange County, and on May 1st at 7pm for $500! This fancy benefit dinner's price also includes tickets to the convention!   Speaking of Blizzard the last wing of the Throne of thunder has opened and is available for all, including LFR! If you have an item level of 480, go and take on that annoying thunder mogu that, believe it or not, we have been working toward for a good portion of this expansion!   Star Wars Online has released its first digital expansion, Rise of the hutt cartel! So what's this expansion offering? How about a new level cap, more endgame content, extended personal storylines, and too much more to mention! Subscribers even save 50% of it's $19.99 price tag!   It's almost complete! Andrew Allen, the composer of our theme, has his kickstarter winding down and it will end April 20th at 5pm. He's at 133% funded, and he's also released most of the tracklist that will be on the album! Thanks folks for contributing to the success of this album getting produced!   If you've just spun up in STO to discover brave new worlds, new life and new civilization? Well the Romulan expansion is coming very soon. A reminder that the expansion itself will be free, but there are some neat Starter Packs if you are looking to buy a few neat items!     GAME NEWS Van: LOTRO's 6th anniversary special started on April 16 and runs to the 30th. Is this the LOTRO Spring Festival? No, that's next month New events, is the Dwarf bar brawl, where you get to club other players, and on expert level, steal a keg off the tables. You can get a title called, “Battered, Bruised and Contused” Envelopes of invitations, drops cosmetics (Lost Invitation War-Steed appearance). and setting off fireworks all over the lower levels of middle earth New mounts Anniversary Steed Fireworks Laden Steed, randomly shoots fireworks while it runs, not sure where those come from...could be the grain they feed it.

There's a new officer in a galaxy far, far away; AIE has gone to Hell, virtually speaking; and we talk to the Queen of Rift!  All that and more coming up right now. THIS is the A-I-E Podcast... AIE NEWS The evil that is Diablo 3 seems to have spread across the guild! Unfortunately your AIE officers can't get your raid team out of Diablo and back into your raid times! Sorry guys. We have another Guildie of the Moment: Teraall! There are almost too many quotes to use here so aren't going to try! A few are: “I've known Teraall since my early days in AiE. I've never had a bad experience with the guy.”   “Terrall is an awesome player and is always even tempered and promotes what truly AIE is all about.” “I know him and he's a good guy.”Send your congrats to Teraall in game or on the forums! AIE SWTOR would like to announce their newest officer to the ranks, Max'z! You may know him from his exploits as a Republic trooper, but there are rumors that he's been seen over on the imperial side! Either way, you can congratulate him in game or on the forums in the thread: Attention~New SWTOR AIE officer on deck. COOP!  We had an amazing COOP run this last weekend. The Diablo disease definitely affected our turnout; only 30 people were able to pull themselves out of Sanctuary to join us. There were around 50 Alliance defending Stormwind, and even though it took some doing, they were eventually able to chase us out the first time we attacked. So we regrouped, blew through the other three Alliance leaders, and then tackled Stormwind again. Thanks to some excellent leadership and strategy from Alachaas and Solarflair, we were able to get the king down and got quite a few AIE members their war bears. Gratz to all that got the achievement, and everyone keep your eyes out for the next COOP run coming up soon. Going to Dragoncon this year? How about Nerdtacular? Maybe you have an idea for a great local meetup? Well AIE has their very own Meetup.com site! Simply head over to meetup.com and do a search for the Alea Iacta Est Gaming community! Signing up is free and who knows what kind of fun you can have! And it's that time again! It's time for the AIE Salus update! That's right you guys are awesome! Our newest world of warcraft co-guild is catching up fast with just over 500 members! The hard work is showing as the guild is already level 14! That's right, even with the distraction that is diablo, you guys are working hard! Just a reminder, AIE TF2 thursdays are every week starting at 10:30pm EST, 7:30 PST! Just log into TF2 and look for the community invite! And speaking of TF2, Wynnefox has a number of TF2 items to give away to any player who wants them. See the Free TF2 Items thread in the community forums And last, Salem in the chat room wanted to make sure we plugged the Pheonix Comic Con meetup happening this weekend, on Saturday may 26th. It sounds like it's going to be a blast, so be sure to RSVP in the Meetup.com thread. Link is in the forums. And with that, let's welcome this week's guest, Gypsygirl! GAME NEWS - RIFT! Rift recently released patch 1.8 which introduced a new 20 man dungeon (the hardest yet), two new skills (survival and fishing) as well as the new Guild Finder. In the previous patches they introduced Chronicles (1-2 person dungeons), Instant Adventures for those 45+, and weddings! They also released an iOS app called Rift Mobile which lets you chat in guild chat, track invasions and play scratch off games to win in-game prizes like crafting materials or artifacts (shineys!). While we have a dedicated core of raiders (the Ingrates) we're always looking for more people to join us! We don't care what level you are or what gear you have - as long as you're willing to commit and die with us! :) CLOSE And that's our show for tonight, We want to thank Gypsygirl for joining us, and our chat room for adding some great commentary!

Well on May 6th at the Temple marketplace there is going to be an AIE meetup just for the movie!

Um I mean it's the first of the May (not even 24 hours)  and we already have 50 people applying for membership.  Holy poop!  Also we wanted to call upon the membership to plan and run guild events.  For example a few years ago Despair a for Salus is more than 50% into Level 9 and has 339 total characters.  Way to go! Our gold cash flow is still looking very good.  We have over 2.4 million gold in our banks.  Incoming gold has dipped a bit but we are still very much in the black. We currently have nearly 7K characters amongst all the co-guilds and we guesstimate that that number represents nearly 2K individual member accounts.  We soon plan to start up our own banana dictatorship. All Hail the AIE banana republic! Speaking of malevolent overlords, even more AIE officers are succumbing to our new pony overlords.  Derpy is still the best pony!  And big props to all our bronies and pegasisters who stop by and say hello in Vent.  Brohoof!
