This is Mewkow: To my left is Tetsemi: – (catch phrase here). And to my right is Mkallah: (Hey folks, there is a homemade chicken pot pie in the Guild Kitchen). This week we are joined by special guests Gusty and Shojo who are here to talk to us about AIE in World of Warcraft Welcome! Ok, we'll be digging into World of Warcraft shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news… AIE News Community Mandatory Fun Nights Where the fun is mandatory but the attendance is not.

Boats are fun! New World will officially shutdown its servers January 31, 2027. We are still there! Keep an eye on the channel in nomads for a possible farewell as the end draws near. Valheim 5 Year Celebration and Regular Update. AIE Valheim Community Server Information is pinned in the AIE Discord #Nomads channel WoW Noob Raid had a great final run of Manaforge Omega on pre-Midnight launch – clearing both Normal and Heroic! Dankinia will be taking a break until the first raid in Midnight is released, around early April. Midnight launched on 3/2, with early access for folks who prepurchased expected to begin 2/27. Lots more about Midnight from our lovely guests later in the show. Player housing. This new feature is time consuming but a great deal of fun. The creativity of our Guildies is amazing to behold! WoW Classic As Jehdai pointed out, we have our first 70 (Sethos) and light activity on the 20th Anniversary TBC launch on Dreamscythed Horde side. We have the guild available with the guild bank open and invite others to join us in Outland. In other Classic news: Reminder that there are now 3 launchers for Classic (‘Original’, ‘Anniversary’, ‘Era’) “Original” Classic is progressing with Mists of Pandaria. The guild is available on Horde side on Galakras. If I have this right, MoP classic uses the modern guild interface so we have the new interface showing 651 members. “Anniversary” Classic which is now at TBC as mentioned above. “Era” classic is a separate launcher with 3 game modes: ‘Classic Era’ which is forever frozen in the original game (pre-TBC). We were on Mankrik here but really no activity or guild. “Season of Discovery” which is where experiments were performed by the devs which some expect may lead to the anticipated “Classic Plus” many hope for. We have no real activity there currently. “Hardcore” is the 3rd game mode in the Era client and probably our 2nd most active within the classic modes. We have an Alliance side guild on Doomhowl and some activity on the Horde side of Doomhowl but no guild currently. Lars plans to return to his attempt at a “Solo Self-Found” run to 60 in Hardcore but that has been on pause for quite some time. We did have guild members make it to 60 on the hardcore server previously. Ravisant is ProffessorWC or Sethos one of the raid leaders from HoG SWTOR In Swtor this week, we are ready for Update 7.8.1, Master’s Enigma. It will bring a story piece, Galactic Seasons 10, new date nights, and the Spring Abundance Festival. The story finale is coming in the June timeframe to make room for 8.0 at the end of the year. We continue to do our MFN on Tuesday nights. Please join us. There are no gear or level requirements, but you may need to have gotten your personal ship as we do tend to travel about. If you want to read about an awesome trip to Galaxy’s Edge, with not only pics but also tips and tricks for your own visit, check out guildie Strykezone’s blog post.

The Kanjiklub House https://kanjiklubhouse.com/2026/02/18/my-star-wars-adventure-to-galaxys-edge-at-disney/ ESO The guild has been working on endeavors and in game events. FFXIV This past Tuesday we got the new Variant dungeon with the newer middle level difficulty The next live letter is on March 13th at 4am PST, and they'll probably be discussing the next story patch LOTRO We had an update that brought us some nifty things. The new raid “The Folly of Nagakhêdi” (Nah-gah-KAY-dee) for tier 1 is live, tiers 2 and 3 are coming this week and next week. There is a new legendary reward track with some great rewards such as a rose-colored mûmak calf cosmetic pet. With other class changes, mainly with guardian, we also got a great change. It is now possible to start Private Encounters from inside of a Housing Neighborhood. Looking forward to seeing you in game and doing some of these awesome new instances. And with that, let's get back to Gusty and Shojo and find out what's going on in World of Warcraft. GAME NEWS CLOSE And that's our show for tonight.

All that and more coming up right now… Podcast Audio Raw Video http://youtu.be/RNmHGBUf5gU Open Welcome to episode 441 of the podcast celebrating you, the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Mkallah: To my left is Tetsemi – (catch phrase here). And to my right is Mewkow: (catch phrase here). Happy 2026, folks! The first week and a half has felt like a year and we are all getting back into the swing of things. Ok, we'll be digging into what we've all been up to shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news… AIE News Community Nerdtacular 2026 has been announced- the event that we affectionately refer to as the Nerd Family Reunion is back for the first time since 2017. Lots of information on Frogpants.com, including tickets and hotel details. The event is scheduled for June 11-13 and will be held at the Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek in Salt Lake City. All three of us have tickets and have been chatting about how we can record a live show. Mandatory Fun Nights Where the fun is mandatory but the attendance is not. Sunday – Destiny 2 8:30 pm Eastern Monday – GW2 9:30 pm Eastern Monday – STO 10:00 pm Eastern Tuesday – SWTOR 9:00 pm Eastern Wednesday – HFO Mythic+ Mayhem (WoW) 8:00 pm Eastern Friday – ESO 9:00 pm Eastern Saturday – LotRO 8:30 pm Eastern Saturday – FFXIV (Maps) 9:30 pm Eastern Saturday – Noob Raid (WoW) 11:00 pm Eastern Streaming and Guild Podcast News We have a ton of AIE member podcasts!

Look no further than here- New Overlords Podcast (Max and Sema) https://www.newoverlords.com Boards and Swords (Chris and Philip) https://boardsandswords.com/blog?category=Boards%20%26%20Swords Dr. Gameology ( Dr. Daniel Kaufmann ) https://drgameology.com/ STO – Fleet Action Report (Grebog and Nikodas) https://www.youtube.com/@fleetactionreport A Podcast Reborn: A FFXIV Community Podcast (Brandon aka Old Man Franks, Meagan, and Rho) – NSFL https://www.bonusroll.gg/directory/a-podcast-reborn/ NOMADS Destiny 2 The new expansion Renegades is chugging along- it is a very”Star Wars themed” expansion. We get lightsabers! It’s got a very cool Darth Revan/Kylo Ren feel to the new bad guy. We get to be kinda like bounty hunters and work for the criminal syndicates doing contract jobs as part of the core activity for the expansion. Earning reputation with each syndicate gains new abilities to use during the contract runs. Not much going on Guild wise. Things are pretty slow overall in Destiny 2, the community is waiting on the new Roadmap to see where things are going. Rumors and hopes are high that a Destiny 3 gets announced. If you are in Destiny 2 and Just_Wargus online feel free to reach out for a hand with anything. ARK – got a pretty dedicated group in there right now WoW Resting up for prepatch of Midnight. Housing is going well. Remix winding down. Noob Raid started up again after its holiday break. A new addon, XFaction for cross guild communication is working well. The last days of Legion Remix are upon us. We are in the final 7 days, so get those last minute runs done now. There is still transmog gear to grind, pets, mounts, and exclusive legion remix only housing items to grab before they are gone. If you ever wanted those legion artifact appearances, this is it. SWTOR In SWTOR, we closed out 2025 with our Winter Nights celebration which was 4 evenings of guild activities including a tour of World Bosses where we took a piece of armor off after each successive fight, stronghold tours, dressing up in our Life Day finest, a clothing drive on the starter planets, a parade of Life Day mounts, and a cracking good trivia night. Great way to spend the last gaming week of 2025. On to 2026! Next week is Total Galactic War! Again! This time we are ready for it. Mostly. We will be maximizing conquest points this week by doing group activities, crafting, and class stories. GSF and pvp are also good ways to rack up the points, if you are so inclined. Keep an eye on discord for any last minute group stuff that may pop up. ESO Nothing new really. It's been quiet due to the holidays. FFXIV Just had a new patch and things are going well. New MSQ, Savage raid tier is open and the world first race is already over. New trial with a train, new Unreal trial with everyone's favorite lady to hate and feel sorry for, Tsukuyomi’s Pain. The cosmic crafter and gatherer area has new updates, and crafters have pink heart themed items to make new. Hildebrand has more story, and the Air Force One GATE has a new place to fly around and pew pew.. The Strategy Board is live, and everyone is clearly using it for helpful raid explanations and mechanics demonstrations. Totally. Free login campaign has started. Up to 96 hours from when you start it. Ends February 9th. STO KDF fleet has made some big strides with the fleet holdings. The Starbase will complete the Tier IV shipyard in just about a week. Which means after that we can start tossing resources in for a tier IV Starbase. Also the Research lab is closing in on Tier III. What all this means is more fleet ships will be accessible. And once the research lab hits Tier III, the purchasable trait slots will be available. Fleet Action Report has been doing playthroughs of the missions showcasing accolades and recruit special tasks, while letting you know what rewards could be handy for your ships or on ground. We will be completing the final mission of the Iconian War arc this week. Which you can catch us live recording the episode Thursday 10pm eastern. Fun nights are Monday 10pm eastern. If you want to group up and run any STO content, looking for help with something, or just want to hang out, come join us. LOTRO Not much is happening. In general players are leveling, working on the epic quest, and enhancing their legendary items. If anyone is looking for help leveling or enhancing their legendary items please reach out to Maelllung and they'd be happy to help! And with that, let's get back to what we have been doing in and out of game! GAME NEWS HOST CHAT Question of the show- what was the geekiest gift you received for the holidays?

Look no further than here- New Overlords Podcast (Max and Sema) https://www.newoverlords.com Boards and Swords (Chris and Philip) https://boardsandswords.com/blog?category=Boards%20%26%20Swords Dr. Gameology ( Dr. Daniel Kaufmann ) https://drgameology.com/ STO – Fleet Action Report (Grebog and Nikodas) https://www.youtube.com/@fleetactionreport A Podcast Reborn: A FFXIV Community Podcast (Brandon aka Old Man Franks, Meagan, and Rho) – NSFL https://www.bonusroll.gg/directory/a-podcast-reborn/ WoW Noob Raid is on winter break until January 3, 2026 so Dankinia can get a bit of relief from the horrible jokes the group likes to torment her with. During 2025, Dankinia demonstrated her floor tanking abilities 172 times. While she is out, Celindre will be leading Noob Raid – After Dark during the normal 11pm EST time slot each Saturday. In WoW, Midnight – the next expansion – has a release date of March 2nd with the pre-patch release on Jan 13. Anyone with an Epic Edition pre-order will have early access – expected Feb 27 according to WoWHead. Players with early access will also be able to use the new Player Housing feature as of Dec 2. This will be a bit complicated for AIE and our co-guilds, which are one of several ways to join “neighborhoods” for player housing. Every player’s Warband gets two houses – one Horde and one Alliance, but any alt can access either home. There will be open neighborhoods that are server wide, and Guilds can create private neighborhoods open to anyone in that guild. Groups of friends (such as Raid Teams) can also create charters for their own neighborhoods. We will have neighb orhoods for all the co-guilds (probably) but haven’t assigned which officer will be assigned to which yet. Currently, in addition to the Legion Remix event (speed leveling/transmog/mounts etc), the WoW Anniversary is active in Retail WoW, with a rep & xp boost. Visiting the Anniversary Celebration at the Caverns of Time will provide an additional buff. Rep is good – because it’s one of the ways to obtain decor for Player Housing. SWTOR SWTOR will see a holiday release of update 7.8 entitled “Pursuit of Ruin”. It will include a new story chapter, a new type of Dynamic Encounter, and a new stronghold (player housing). That’s not to mention Life Day festivities, with the snow balls and the wookiee hugging. Also, for the first year ever, we will be trying out a new guild event during the evenings between Christmas and New Years. Stay tuned to discord for more info on that! ESO MFN in ESO generally takes the month of December off, but expect to find a couple of people hanging out at the normal time on Friday nights though the holidays. Attendance will be sporadic but feel free to reach out if anyone would like company while running the holiday events in game. FFXIV Patch 7.4 comes December 16th. Main Scenario – Into the Mist Raid Dungeon – The Arcadion: Heavyweight Division Variant Dungeon – The Merchant’s Tale New Dungeon – Mistwake New Trial – Hell on Rails New Unreal Trial – Tsukuyomi’s Pain (Unreal) New Frontline Campaign – Worqor Chirteh Weapon Enhancement Quests – Phantom Weapons Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures Manderville Gold Saucer GATE – Air Force One (The Cieldalaes) Cosmic Exploration: Oizys and Tool Enhancement Quests – Cosmic Tools Strategy Board – Raid explanations but better Glamour Update – Unlocked all types! New Theme Settings – Clear Green and Clear White Mac support (Ventura ends Jan 27, Tahoe now supported) Save 50% on Collector's Edition Digital Upgrades Until December 7 New ridiculous hotpot mount (It flies) And irregular tomestones are active now until 7.4 is live. Fanfest is happening where Blizzcon is normally, April 24/25th. Cookbook #2 is out! LOTRO New expansion “Kingdoms of Harad” as of right now is scheduled to be released on December 3rd. The instance cluster for the expansion is expected to be delayed, which means this gives a chance to level up to the new level cap and get a group together and look at it as a kinship. Also looking forward to the Yule Festival that starts on December 11th. Join us as we look to have fun in Frostbluff as well as protecting it in “The Battle of Frostbluff”. STO Yes, it’s true, Cryptic studios has once again been sold. However, this is not a time for doom and gloom. The new owners have no intentions of sunsetting STO. In fact, STO has simply returned to its original owners who want to see the game succeed. There are ongoing sales in both the Zen Store and Mudd’s Market. Some of these are as high as 50% off! Lifetime Subscriptions are 33% off until Dec 14th Q’s Winter Wonderland will be returning on Dec 9th. While we don’t have any specific details on what the rewards will be this year, it’s sure to be something you don’t want to miss! And with that, let's get to what we have been doing in and out of the game! And, Mkallah has a question for everyone! GAME NEWS Okay, friends!
