Dual Universe
PkhBasko attended the recent car show in game to show off his truck he designed and built and managed to win a ship while there.
Catavarie recently showed off a small fleet of ships at a recent Fly In and received some good feedback on them.
New ship design ideas are being worked on daily by members of the org.
The Org is in the planning phases for setting up a showroom for selling ships in game to other players.
We are also preparing to start on a very special ship to show off at the next Fly In scheduled for Memorial Day weekend.
Patch 0.24 came with some big changes to textures for elements and materials as well as terrain and flora. Also if you listen closely at night you can now hear crickets.
WoW
Trial of Style ran: Sat 3/20 6pm for the Horde, Sun 3/21 4pm for the Alliance.
And, don’t worry, you didn’t miss all of the fun! Trial of style runs with additional times at Tues 3/23 8-8:30pm Alliance, 8:30-9pm Horde. All times Eastern aka Server.

WoW Classic
Rumors of Burning Crusade beta starting next week (emails send, but still not in downloader… and downloader updated Wednesday)
SWTOR
See Game Notes
ESO
Recent MFNs have been focused on grouping up for dungeons with a high level group running one of the two new dungeons and a lower level group running random dungeons for experience and levels
There have been several conversations recently regarding leveling and skills especially since the forced reset. Feel free to ask questions or join in the conversations in discord.
There is normally at least one death caused by gravity due to Dankinia leading people off cliffs
The Jesters Festival in-game even starts on Thursday, March 25th and runs until April 1st at 10am EDT. As usual, for MFN we will be grouping up to help each other complete the dailies. The first daily each day will reward event tickets.
This event also has a 100% experience boost memento you can obtain and use for the duration of the event which will be super handy now that the Champion point cap has been lifted.
The free pet in the crown store that is available as part of update 29 as well as the free respecs will no longer be available after March 22nd at 10 am EDT on PC and March 30th 10am EDT on Consoles so don’t forget to grab the pet before it’s gone.
FFXIV
Patch 5.5, titled “Death Unto Dawn” has an official release date of April 13th. We’re getting a Letter from the Producer Live on April 2nd, which will come with the trailer for the patch.
The patch is slated to contain a whole bunch of content, but the highlights include:
Part 1 of the 5.5 story, part 2 coming at a later date.
The final alliance raid in the YoRHA: Dark Apocalypse crossover
The close of the Sorrow of Werlyt storyline, where we get to fight FFXIV’s version of the Diamond Weapon.
A new Bozja battlefield, “Zadnor” which will close out the Save the Queen storyline and finish our relic weapons”
New rare crafting ingredients in chests for map night!
STO
STO Is currently running a Galaxy Goes to Red Alert event. 10 days of progress earns an Experimental Ship Upgrade Token, a Specialization Point, and an Ultimate Tech upgrade. They game is also running a Bonus Marks event and a Mudd’s Market sale which includes a new bundle. All these end on 4/1/21.
GW2

LOTRO
SNL is still going on Saturday night from 8:30-10:30 eastern
Update 29 has dropped and with it a new level 45 zone.
March 18- April 7 is the return of the Spring Festival so we are currently getting lost in the maze
If anyone wants help running skirmishes or epic battles let us know in the #lotro channel
