WoW

There’s a big content patch coming (Warbands, Skyriding (aka Dragonriding for other flying mounts), new quests. The War Within™ Pre-Expansion Content Update Goes Live July 23 – WoW

WoW Classic

Life is very quiet on the Cataclysm classic front. Many of us have been playing in Pandaria Remix, and the Stale Puft Raid team will be a retail raid team in the War Within. TWW (Tdub) looks to be amazing! So we will remain in the Classic worlds but with a very reduced presence. The lights will remain on, but there probably won’t be very many people on line. If anyone needs to reach us for anything, please reach out in the ?wow-classic channel and ping an @officer . We remain happy to help out as we can, but the cadence will be very slow paced. We may come back, but nobody knows.

It’s summer in a galaxy far, far away, and that means it’s time for Nar Shadaa Nightlife. We did some group gambling during MFN last week and traded tips and tricks for the event. Warzone Wednesday was on the pub side this week, and Friday Frolics was a GSF night. Stask was the flyer and Looci and Sema were cheering him on.

ESO

The last few weeks have been spent working on the new scribing quest line and clearing the overland portion of the new zone.

Kraemer has all of the mundus stones and crafting stations currently available at is primary residence. Feel free to stop by to use them if you need to.

Summer of Love is coming soon. Stay tuned for more information on events that will be held in ESO such as a DnD one shot and a trial night.

FFXIV

Tuesday is the first patch of Dawntrail, with the first four of the new 8man raid series dropping, as well as the new limited tome gear. More on that in our chat!

STO

Fleet Action Report just celebrated its 4 year anniversary. Thank you all for the support.

The summer event has started and the free ship this year is the Vovin Obelisk Carrier. It currently is said to have one of the best consoles in the game. There are all kinds of new items in the summer event store from a new kit frame to a rainbow mellanoid slime non combat pet, or a rainbow version of Murph from Prodigy.

LOTRO

Lots of things on the horizon for Lotro. We are about a week and a half away from Update 41. Later in August will be a new instance as part of the celebration of the Year of the Dragon. Also the rumored lotro official discord is in the works and they will try to have it out hopefully September ish. Lastly, the 2 new legendary servers are still expected to go live this month. There is a lot more coming so as to not take up too much time, stay tuned for more fun kinship stuff.

And with that, let’s find out what we have been doing in and out of game!
