And to my right is Mewkow: (catch phrase here). And, contrary what it may seem like, we aren't podfading, it has just been a crazy summer so far. But, it's time to get back on track cast those die! Ok, we'll be digging into what all we have been up to, 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.

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 Our Summer of Love event will begin on Monday, July 27 and run through Sunday, Aug 2. I will be creating a channel shortly, but here’s the schedule so far. Mon, July 27 8pm Eastern Ugly Mount Parade & Contest in Silvermoon. Show off your best and ugliest mounts. They need love too! Tues, July 28, 8pm Eastern Another Great Race: Alliance and Horde players create a new Haranir and race to the opposite faction’s capital. Who will get there first? Wed, July 29, 7pm Eastern Decor Home Tours: Come be inspired by the creativity and whimsy our guildies. While not required, the Guestbook addon allows you to leave notes for the home owner. (Such as, “Gusty, why is there a filthy Peon’s Work Bucket under your stairs?”) Thurs, July 30, 7pm Eastern Guild Hide & Seek: Hop in Discord and we will all queue at once for this new game in Silvermoon. We probably won’t be paired with guildies, but merriment will ensue. Fri, July 31, 6pm Eastern Decor gathering (and maybe a battle pet or two). Quests, dungeons, old raids. A couple of Warlocks and Mages would be welcome as some quests are faction specific.

Sun, AUG 2 8pm Eastern – 7pm Central Remembrance Day. This is the signature AIE annual event, which takes place across all of our game communities. Meet at the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior near Crossroads to honor friends and family we have lost, followed by a procession to the back gates of Orgrimmar for a picnic and fireworks. And, there is a Discord channel for Summer of Love now, check there for schedules and updates WoW Classic All is quiet on the western front SWTOR In Swtor, the guild has largely finished up with Galactic Season 10 with a few people getting those last few objectives in for the meta achievement. After all, who doesn’t like a good meta achievement? The PvP Season is ongoing and we do have some hardy souls participating in that. News of 8.0 is on the horizon, which will include new levels, new zones, new flashpoints, and even a new operation. We should hear more about it soon. Now is a pretty good time to get in and level up a character. For some casual group fun, we continue to have our regular Tuesday night MFN. Here’s where you can learn more about the game, chat about all things nerdy, generally just hang out, and get a few objectives done. Everyone is welcome. We will be celebrating Summer of Love with a special MFN on July 2th and we will see the return of Star Wars Trivia! ESO The new Season One just started and includes a new quest series for the Thieves Guild. The Microsoft layoff’s hit ZeniMax Online pretty hard. It seems like they lost about half of the active developers that work on content, events and dungeons. The previous roadmap for updates will probably shift considerably, but there are no specifics yet. GW2 https://www.guildwars3.com/en/ Guild Wars 3 has been announced and beta being in Fall 2027 and sign ups are available at the link above. FFXIV The Berlin fanfest is happening on 25th. New job reveal and more expected https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/fa499f335a87707b8dfc578e8662aa2a724cdca4 LOTRO Lots of stuff coming in the near future for lotro that we can group up for. Starting on July 23rd and running through August 11th will be the ill omens skirmish event. We can count on Maellung to be spending as much time doing skirmishes during this event. You are welcome to join him. The delving armour will be updated soon. Good opportunity to upgrade our armour at level cap. If you play on the legendary servers, later this summer Angmar and Mordor reach a major milestone. As players venture into the Mordor and North Mirkwood level bands, all Nine Nazgûl enter the fray, opening the door to some of the most challenging encounters yet. In PvMP news, monster players will be getting a new class for the first time in 18 years: the Angmarim Sorceress. And on July 31st we are expecting the new expansion name, setting and more to be revealed to us. Too much coming for us to remain patient for. And with that, let's find out what we've all been doing in and out of game GAME NEWS CLOSE And that's our show for tonight.

This episode tackles two more changes from Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring—Saruman orchestrating the storm on Caradhras, and the missing warg attack in Hollin. We break down how these adaptations simplify Middle-earth, debate whether Saruman's powers go too far, and discuss what's lost when the mountain itself isn't an antagonist. We also examine: Why Jackson condensed multiple threats into “just Saruman and Sauron” The cinematic potential of Gandalf's fiery defense against spirit wargs Aragorn's warnings vs. Saruman's prophecies—and who really drove the Fellowship’s next moves What removing the Hollin warg attack means for Sauron's reach in the story In our extended episode (members at https://theonering.com/members), we dive into: News about Tolkien's rare books and LOTRO's new expansions Listener comments over Boromir's character moments on the slopes of the Misty Mountains The fated 5 seasons of The Rings of Power What's next for the podcast (Children of Húrin, Kullervo, and maybe Lord of the Rings itself)!

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.

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.
