This is Mkallah: To my left is Mewkow: (Greeting, Gamers). And to my left is Tetsemi (catch phrase here) And we are running this thing like a scenario instead of a five man, so we are doing this on our own this week- but, stick around for the end of the show, we have news on a trio of very very special guests! Ok, we’ll be chatting about what we have been doing in and out of game shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news... AIE News Community Hey, gang, I am sure that a lot of you have seen some rather cryptic posts on Facebook and Twitter about the loss of a dear guild mate, but no names have been attached. We are doing that out of respect for their family. One of the greatest things about our guild is that we are community and we are family, and these times are never easy. So, be gentle and kind, there is a lot of sadness right now and everyone grieves differently. As we can share more, we will. WoW We know that AIE’s 10th anniversary passed this last week to little fanfare- but be rest assured, in the works! Because, why celebrate one day when we can celebrate all year. And, if you want to run an event for our big year, contact Nevermore in game, on discord, via twitter, etc. Blizzard announced this week a new mount available in World of Warcraft, the Primal Flamesaber. How do you obtain this new hotness you might ask? Well, you need to grab a friend and jump into Heroes of the Storm. Play 15 games (win or lose, against a real team or the AI) as a Warcraft Hero, and the mount is yours! Looking for a friend or a group? The #LFG channel in AIE’s discord is a great place to find people looking for a partner for this event. Gerjen also startedd a thread on the AIE Forums for this event as well - http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57399-friends-for-hots/ You have until March 13th to complete your 15 game, so you don’t have to run them all at once, unless that’s your jam! http://www.wowhead.com/news=259985/acquiring-the-primal-flamesaber-beginner-heroes-of-the-storm-tips-for-wow-player A new developer Q&A is coming up this Thursday and information about how to submit questions can be found on the official website here - https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20564523/join-us-for-a-live-developer-q-a-thursday SWTOR Just a reminder that the 250% gain to XP and Command XP (for max level characters) is going on through April XXth.
