- No Gathering for Foghladha at PAX West This Year
It breaks my heart to announce that I will be unable to attend PAX West this year. It seems my calendars were not agreeable this year and I've been double booked. If people still want to get together without me that would be awesome to keep the tradition alive, however I won't be able to make it out for this one. Next year we'll do something big I promise as Soren will be making the trip out too and I can't let our crazy Canadians who drive for 4 days just to be there down. It's the first time in about 7 years that I won't be able to make it so i'm a bit heart broken, but I will definitely be there next year even if I gotta take time off to make it happen.
- Extra Life 2018 Plans & Schedule
Last year's Extra Life Event went off tremendously. We had lots of people watching, lots of people playing and raised a good amount of cash for the Children's Miracle Network. This year we're going to expand our party to Friday making it a 3 day Livestream Event that you can pick and choose which parts you want to attend.

- Adventures with Foghladha Returning in September
Due to extremely low turnout during the summer I've pulled my events off the calendar for the month of August but plan to relaunch them come September as the kids go back to school and the parents get to play again. Thinking of shaking it up a bit with new content every week.

- Great Tyrian Adventure Season 5 Preparations
We're moving forward with our Great Tyrian Adventure plans for this October. Our first order of business is restocking the prize vault. We're looking for Yellow Weapon Skins, Ascended Insignias and Inscriptions, Exotic Weapons, Boxes of Exotic Armor, and of course Precursors or Legendaries that you’re willing to donate. We are also going to need 3 volunteers to help us create the targeted 3 legendaries for the prize pool as well as some volunteers to help create a few other rare weapon prizes.

- Sanctum of Rall is Full
So…. What started as a couple guilds coming over to Sanctum of Rall before the new WvW Alliance system goes live, has turned into a massive amount of people flocking to our server. On reset night triple digit queues have been seen and usually at least 2 battlefields have queues throughout the day. ArenaNet stopped the surge by locking our server to transfers.

- Rift Remains Open to Members, But No Longer Recruiting
Over the last month, the last of our event leaders said goodbye and with this, we are placing RIFT in the Historical Chapter category allowing existing members and new members to our community to enjoy it as they see fit, however we are placing Rift on Maintenance mode and will no longer be actively using the looking for guild tool to bring new people into the community. Rift Prime drove a hot knife through our already spread thin community and we simply don't have the population to sustain a healthy event calendar. Our leaders have tried to host events with shrinking turnouts. In the end, low population has driven them to find more active shores.

- Warhammer Continues Tier 1 for Another Month
The summer time has hit us full swing and most of our Warhammer Community is out entertaining their kids. Population has been real thin the past month and we continue to make a difference on the Tier 1 battlefield. We will plan to remain in Tier 1 for the month of August. We also secured ourselves an alliance with Zaxxed and a few smaller guilds. I'm hoping that once school starts back up in Sept we'll see a return of players and we can continue to keep this party rollin. If we continue to see a decline we will place this one in maintenance mode and leave it open for anyone that wants to keep playing. We've been having a blast in Tier 1 the past few weeks. We're still getting a healthy flow of new players joining the community which is good.

- To Arms! Join us in Gloria Victis
Alas, one of the games I have worked with is finally in a place where I want to share it with others. Nearly 5 years ago Black Eye Games put out a self run crowdfunding campaign for a new four faction themed after real world nations with no magic and straight true to medieval combat. I quickly became embedded with the team and flushed out a huge 21 page document outlining the perfect guild system. Years have passed, the map has grown, new factions have been added (now at 3) and the gameplay has drastically improved.
- A New Kind of Siege Warfare in Rend
Launching into early access on July 31st, Rend is a new siege warfare game with a spin. It features both pvp and pve sieges. In the vein of Fortnite you have a base to defend and you must build up fortifications to protect it from waves of relentless foes. In addition, it has a 3 faction siege warfare mechanic built into the game. Choose from the armies of the militaristic Order, enlightened Revenant, and mysterious Conclave as they wage war in an ongoing struggle to survive. Choose your allegiance wisely: your brothers and sisters will prove pivotal in your journey towards ascension.
