Game Update 47 Item Revamp - Part 1

If, like me, you survived the Great Item Revamp of Live Update 24, then seeing "Level 1-59 Item Revamp" in the Game Update 47 Preview sends shudders of horror through you despite Kiara's assurances that it's "to bring them more in line with the rewards from the newer adventuring areas." I decided to take a random trip through our item wikibase and take a look at some gear on the live and test servers.

Storm Break preview… Part 2!

GU 47 is imminent, and Kiara brings us the second part of the preview of this highly anticipated update!

Storm Break preview... Part 2! Storm Break, is as full of yummy goodness as a halfling's pantry! So good, in fact, we had to show it off in two parts!

We have zone changes, smartloot spell drops, and could it be.. free wallpaper?

Bonus Exp Weekend 7/19-7/20

Kiara posteth:

I know everyone is going to rush right out to see The Dark Knight (as well you should, it was awesome!!!), but after you get done with that, we've got the perfect way to spend the weekend!

Bonus Exp weekend!!

Have a happy and safe weekend and enjoy the bonus exp!

Many happy dings to all!

 

Guild Halls Coming Soon?

Last year at the SOE 2007 Fan Faire we were treated to a glance at the concept art for guild halls. Since guild halls have been in the buzz since launch, players have been chomping at the bit despite Lyndro saying it would probably be at least a year before we'd see them.
