Don't miss all the fun of Hallow's End! October 18th - November 1st "is the celebration of the break between the Forsaken and the Scourge. Many tricks and treats await adventurers seeking holiday fun, including defeating the Headless Horseman, visiting inns and cities for fun items such as masks and costumes, and eating way too much candy in one sitting."

So as many of you know I have recently had a baby and having a newborn takes up a great amount of time. I have not been able to put the time into the guild that it deserves for quite awhile which has left Parot to pick up all the slack. Since Parot has done such a fantastic job running the guild in my absence I feel it only fair to give the title of Guild Master to him. I have loved running AAS for the last few years and will still be a "Founder". I look forward to getting to know all the new members and catching up with the old ones when I have time to play. Until then good luck in all your guildly adventures.

Although AAS does not have a full guild group leveled and ready to run raids we do have quite a few 80's anxious to go. If you are one of those level 80's that can't wait to start raiding talk to Parotheadesq and he will start putting together groups and pugging who is needed after the new year. The more people he knows want to go the easier it will be for him to acquire the other people he needs to make a balanced group.

As promised the poll about the tabard was up for a little over a week and it looks as though it is staying the way it is. The guild has spoken! Thanks to everyone who participated in the decision making.

Attention all AAS members that want to level together. Meet in the Tundra starting area for some leveling fun!

For the expansion we thought it would be fun to give the guild a little overhaul. As you can see the site has been given a face lift and a few minor changes have been made. With the new in game calendar the raid calendar has been removed and the forum has gotten a well deserved reworking. Please participate in the poll about changing the tabard and make sure to visit the forum to let us know what you plan to do in the expansion!

Officers will be starting some fun new guild events including a biweekly "get to know your guildies" interview to be posted here on the site and a monthly screen shot contest. Be on the lookout for more details!!

This coming weekend we will see a full guild overhaul much like the one we did back in March! We thought with how much fun it was to change everything up before, we should do it again for the expansion.
Some of the new things you will see are:
new ranks including rank names and abilities
a guild site makeover with a whole new look and possibly new site features!
Also there will be the announcement of new guild contests and events!
We may even change the tabard again just to give the guild a fully fresh look but thought all of you AAS members should have a say in that one. If you want to cast your vote as to wether or not we should change the tabard you all have to make sure to visit the site again next weekend to participate.
Of course you will also want to check out the sites new look and read the verified changes for the guild when you are here ;)!

the time has come for pre-orders with the official date of Nov. 13th being announced... now the question of the day... to buy the collector's edition with the only thing I really care about being the pet or not hmmm?
here is the collector edition info for anyone who cares to consider it:
We're happy to announce that World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King will ship in standard as well as Collector's Edition packages. The Collector's Edition will come in a special box that contains many exclusive extras to enhance your adventure into Northrend, including:

* World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King on DVD-ROM.
* The Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, a 208-page book featuring never-before-seen images from the game.
* An exclusive in-game pet: Frosty, the baby frost wyrm.
* A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, the Wrath of the Lich King intro cinematic with director’s commentary, and more.

For those of you that raid I wanted to let you all know that raids are no longer queue only. We needed that feature for a while when raiding was really going strong and we ran out of spots too soon with brand new members signing up, but no longer is this a problem so you can sign up right into confirmed.

Also I wanted to help out those people that I see have problems figuring out how to sign up different characters on the cal. You can have multiple characters on the same raid cal account just like in the game. For each character that you have that wants to sign up for raids you have to
-sign into the calendar on your account
-go to create
-go to character
-enter your characters information
then when you are signing up after you have created your multiple characters you can choose which character is signig up for which raid.

I hope this helps feel free to hit me up in game or send me a PM on the forums if you have any more trouble.
