ArenaNet has created a free trial event that is scheduled to last from September 25th through October 1st. New players can sign up on the official site to take part in the limited run.

ArenaNet is ready to unleash the preliminary rounds for the 2014 Guild Wars 2 World Championships. The first tournament champions will be crowned on December 4-5 in Beijing, where players will vie for a $50,000 prize pool and the title of first-ever Guild Wars 2 World Tournament Series Champion.

WildStar had all the hallmarks of a promising launch: promising reviews and widespread critical acclaim, queues of players waiting to log in, and a burgeoning community that was excited by Carbine’s new IP. It’s difficult to imagine a better environment in which to fire up a brand new MMO.

Challenge, it’s what we truly crave when it comes to an MMO. Especially those with a subscription fee like The Elder Scrolls Online. No one wants to throw money at a game and have everything handed to them. Okay well there are some people, but they don’t count. Filthy casuals!

Potential beta testers are invited to head to the LEGO Minifigures Online site and sign up. As a reward for so doing, players will receive a free Tennis Ace Minifigure.

When several of our podcasters at Sitting on a Couch emailed me that Firefall was patching and going live in just a few months, I could only shake my head sadly at what I perceived would be an ill-fated first step. Then I saw the patch notes, and was blown away at the level of change that they were incorporating just before launch. Vertical scaling, simplified missions, ability unlocks at progression, and a full on end-game raid! Yes, Please!

Back in April-ish, when I started writing about all things Eternal Crusade, I became, very involved in the Eternal Crusade forums. I realized that the community probably far more knowledgeable on the various topics being discussed, and that it might serve me well as a game-journalist (HAH!), to put together a list of people on the forums who were well-spoken, intelligent, able to converse with others of differing opinion.
