NOMADS
Ashes of Creation – Alpha 2 is on and running, with a few members.

We now have a fresh start company (Covenant) in New World on Hudsonland. We are enjoying all the improvements they’ve made lately. We are also on the legacy server Valhalla.

WoW
Noob Raid is 7/8 in normal Nerubn-ar Palace. Not bad at all for a bunch of Noobs lead by a professional floor tank.

WoW Classic
Fresh start servers are coming up in Classic

SWTOR
The guild is still doing MFN on Tuesday nights at 9pm EST. We are helping everyone get their Galactic Season objectives done. Still have a couple months to finish everything up. The Public Test Server (PTS) is up with content from the next patch 7.6 on it. One of the things being tested are dynamic events, which are like world quests in other games. A new single boss operation is being tested also. Lords of Light has taken it down, but there are some different mechanics that are not working correctly right now. Should be fun when it’s in the live game. There are rewards for doing 100 dynamic events and a title for defeating the operation boss. Keep an eye out for groups getting together on the PTS if you want to finish those rewards up.

We have four operations (raid) teams that are running different things. Check in the SWTOR channel in discord for when spots are open and subs are needed. There are a couple teams that have some regular spots open. Join up if you want to see some different content in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

FFXIV
New patch is out, more MSQ, more Alliance Raid, and you can combine level 1 outfits in the glamour dresser so they only take up one slot instead of many.

Also, update your adventure plates!

ESO
We’ve been attempting some new-to-us trials, with varying degrees of success.

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

GW2
Extra Life event running until the 19th. Take your toon into Lion’s Arch. where it will give you a bunch of Karma kegs. Buy Extra Life sponsoring goodies from the gem store, get more prizes, and the money goes to the Extra Life charity via the GW2/Arenanet team. The Extra Life karma boosters are good for getting maximum value from the Orphan Run daily during the upcoming WIntersday. Do both go to LA and buy, and it will give you a couple of Victory Caches.

Wintersday event is starting on Dec 10th, running for 3 weeks (as usual). This is the event for stacking up karma, so make sure you have karma boosting food/utilities/etc. stacked up. The Karma page on the GW2 wiki gives a list of all the boosters.

And with that, let’s get back to us and find out what we’ve been up to!

GAME NEWS
What have we been up to?

What, even, is time?
MK- in theory, it is what keeps everything happening at once.
Also, if you mess with it too much, it causes paradox- I don’t suggest it, there is a lot of backlash!

On a scale of 1 to planetary destruction, what is our stress level?
MK- does something the size of the third moon of Endor count
