AIE News
Community
BlizzCon 2017 Guild Hall plans are well underway and we will have more information on hours of operation, where to volunteer if you’d like to help out, and what’s going to be going on in the Guild Hall.
Imperium Ludi
Are you playing Destiny 2? Well have we got a Clan for you! No, seriously, we have AIE Clans for both PC and console. Follow the directions that Durus has helpfully posted in the forum thread for information on how to join - http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57467-destiny-2-clan/page-2#entry956023
WoW
Want to take a look back at all the content we’ve gone through this year, or see what you’ve been missing, if you haven’t been playing much, if at all? Well Blizzard has put up the BlizzCon 2017 Year in Review for World of Warcraft on their Blizzcon site and it’s available for everyone to see.

New content releases every Wednesday leading up to BlizzCon 2017 and there are some cool ‘ticket holder only’ content like the Inside the Blizzard Vault Episode 3, a lot of Casual and Advanced Cosplay series and The Artist’s Journey series which are all amazing videos. If you have the physical or virtual ticket, you definitely should be checking out the site to see what’s coming out.
SWTOR
SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 212: Live from Korriban
http://www.newoverlords.com/swtor-escape-pod-cast-212-live-from-korriban/
This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-212 start new characters on Korriban and begin a season of play-through, focusing on lore, tips, etc. while also talking about other game and community news for the week from SWTOR. If you'd like to come join us, AIE, our multi-game guild is always looking for new members. Our officer channel on Jedi Covenant is at /cjoin aielfo and more guild information is at https://aie-guild.org/swtor/
Catch the live podcast and chat room on Tuesday nights around 10:30pm central at http://twitch.tv/newoverlords. Follow and subscribe on Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, etc. to hear podcast news and see our other guild streams.
Breaking news from the Imperial News Network - This week MFN will be on the Imperial side and next week on the Republic scum side.
FFXIV
Interested in doing 8 man content in FFXIV and don’t know where to start? Durus has an ongoing spreadsheet to help organize groups. Contact him in AIE Discord in the #ffxiv channel to get access, or update the spreadsheet with your availability if you already have access. And don’t forget, the AIE guild is now on the Goblin server.
Also, keep October 10th free as that’s the launch of patch 4.1 and the new housing area as well as all the other content, but seriously, housing, that’s what I’m talking about, amirte?
Also in 4.1 we get this expansion's first alliance raid so that'll give people an easy place to get gear and a good FFN activity. That'll at least be a simple, easier introduction to larger group content for folks who might be intimidated by the other raid/dungeon content.
STO
