EVE Online – Making PLEX More Flexible

When Tuesday’s update hits EVE Online, players will find a number of big changes coming to the PLEX system in order to, as the developers wrote, make it more flexible. The team felt that PLEX has become “cumbersome” to buy and trade due to being associated with a 30-day game subscription amount. The first change is to alter the value of one PLEX into 500 PLEX. The goal is to make selling smaller PLEX packages and trading amounts more streamlined.

World of Warcraft – Blizzard Cleaning House – Win-Traders in PvP BGs Permabanned

Blizzard is cleaning the World of Warcraft house yet again. This time, the company took aim at so-called “win-traders”, groups who sell rated battleground wins for real-world currency. The identified accounts have been permanently banned as being in “clear violation” of the WoW Terms of Service. During the action, however, some accounts were perma-banned by mistake.

Images of Street Fighter V’s new character Ed leak before Monday’s reveal

Capcom cannot catch a break, can they? Ahead of his reveal on Monday, Street Fighter super sleuths have found images of new character Ed, right on the official Street Fighter website. Rather than sporting the white hoodie seen in Story Mode, Ed’s in-game outfit has him dressed as a Shadaloo military cadet.

Ed Street Fighter V Full Image

Ed’s clearly been hitting the gym since Story Mode as well, looking more muscular compared to the scrawny teenage miscreant that was training under Balrog. He has a passing resemblance to Abel with his new design, which makes sense seeing as both him and Ed are potential replacement bodies for M. Bison.

Ed Character Portrait

We’ll no doubt see the return of the white hoodie as Ed’s Story Mode costume, but who knows what his Premium outfit will be. All will (hopefully) be revealed on Monday so stay tuned for more information on Ed.
