Halloween party on Landroval
Oct 31st
Hey folks, Arabella of Solcaim (waaait, that’s not a LOTRO server!) and her kinship, Warders of the Weald, are hosting a Halloween party tonight on the Landroval server. "Put Cherrie (moi) , Balifor & Bohart on your friends list," she says, and look for them at Bonfire Glade in the Old Forest.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Experience Tier 1 For Free, Forever!
Oct 30th
Nestled away in the overview of of Version 1.3.2 "Path of Conquest" in this month’s WAR newsletter are details of some pretty significant changes coming to Warhammer Online.
This month’s newsletter reveals that the currently available 10 day free trial will soon be free of any time restrictions, meaning that players can essentially play the game free of charge as long as they remain in Tier 1. This sounds awfully similar to the "Freemium" model that the Chronicles of Spellborn had been utilizing not long ago.
There aren’t currently any details on whether or not any additional restrictions would be applied, though it would probably be safe to assume that any restrictions (such as being limited to Tier 1) that are currently part of the 10 day trial would remain.
For more information about the Free Trial, read the Trial FAQ here.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Friday Update: Jedi Knight Unveiled!
Oct 30th
As we reported earlier this week, we kind of knew this one was coming. But while this news may not be surprising for many of us, the Jedi Knight has been officially revealed today as this week’s Friday Update. The Jedi Knight reads as kind of the counterpart of the Sith Warrior, as both classes seem to have a melee (lightsaber) bent.
The Jedi Knight is described below:
Valiant, Determined, Guardian of Peace
A symbol of hope in dark times, the Jedi Knight stands for the legacy of the Jedi Order—more than twenty-thousand years of protecting the Republic and keeping the peace across the galaxy. Though Jedi Knights have served as generals, guerilla fighters, and warriors for generations, their legendary combat prowess faces its greatest test during this age.
Through years of disciplined training and meditation, the Jedi Knight hones body and mind into perfect harmony. Combining the foresight of the Force with unrivaled reflexes and practiced physical precision, the Knight turns combat into an art form, gracefully executing acrobatic feats in tandem with elegant lightsaber tactics.
A source of inspiration to allies and intimidation to adversaries, the Jedi Knight’s presence is welcome in any confrontation. The Order’s long history of fighting for justice has earned More >

Oct 30th
MMORPG.com EVE Online Correspondent Kevin Schram writes this look at four different fan made applications that make the EVE Online experience that much easier.
Unlike that other MMO, EVE Online does not allow modification of the game’s client for user-made mods. To fill this void, the EVE Online community (which is filled with IT professionals – just ask around in your corp) has created a ton of fan made applications. Some of them are great, others can be avoided. This list will run down the four best fan-made applications, plus a few other honorable mentions.

Carta del Director de Juego – Octubre 2009
En la carta de este mes me gustaría hablar sobre la comunidad, qué estamos haciendo para promocionar el juego y cómo podéis ayudarnos. En las últimas semanas hemos puesto en marcha muchas iniciativas nuevas y quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para comentar los nuevos programas y todo lo que os ofrecen.
Reclutar a un amigo…Junto a la actualización de hoy y al lanzamiento de las recompensas para los veteranos, iniciamos también un nuevo programa para reclutar amigos. Con los nuevos y excelentes precios de las tarifas de suscripción, también podrás obtener recompensas, e incluso tiempo de juego gratuito, si consigues que tus amigos te acompañen a Hiboria.
Opiniones, información y tú…Los más observadores también os habréis dado cuenta de que últimamente hemos realizado más encuestas y cuestionarios entre los jugadores, algo que seguiremos haciendo regularmente. Vuestra opinión es muy importante, sobre todo ahora que empezamos a planificar nuevos aspectos del desarrollo.
