Summer of Love
July 26th – August 2nd with August 2nd being Remembrance Day

So far Summer of Love will include two D&D one-shots, one hosted by Duskmire in a Star Wars setting and the other hosted by Kraemer for ESO on their MFN night. If anyone is interested in hosting a One-Shot, contact Gustytail.

We’ll also have Lore Night, where participants will share a story from in game lore, events or their character’s backstory. In WoW, we’ll have trivia night in Guild chat with pet and transmog giveaways, WoW Hide and Seek, and a Delves event.

SWTOR
The big news in SWTOR is that we won both our Total Galactic War last week and are using this week to pick prizes, lie on beaches with pina coladas, and not do uprisings for a bit. It was a close race on some days, but we pulled away near the end and our competition just could not catch us. Check out discord for our victory screenshot. And while you are there, feel free to click on the capybara link. It will make your day better.

ESO
Summer of Love we have the D&D one shot down at the docks going on on our usual MFN Friday August 1st and we will meet at Kini’s main house on Saturday August 2nd for Remembrance Day in the Chapel room.

FFXIV
Come join us for map night at 9:30 eastern every Saturday! As long as you have completed the Heavensward main story there’s stuff for you to do! You can even join us as part of the free trial, or if you’re in a different FC or world! We’re on Goblin in the crystal data center.

STO
Fleet Action Report, your weekly dive into the world of Star Trek Online! In Episode 257, join hosts Nikodas, Tabbytha, and Grebog as they plunge into the unknown—deep into Fluidic Space itself! This week, they tackle the eerie missions “Assimilation” and “Fluid Dynamics”, where the Borg and Undine collide in one of STO’s most unsettling story arcs. What happens when the Borg find a way to assimilate the Undine? Tune in to find out—and bring a towel. It’s going to get weird.

LOTRO
There are big changes coming to Lotro. For starters, August 31st free transfer from 32 bit worlds, after that they will become dark worlds. With this change coming, the kinship on the legendary server Treebeard has been disbanded. Also, the old forums are going away, and have been in a read-only state for a few years. New stuff to the game right now, the midsummer festival is going on right now with new quests in Futherholm. Futherholm is a new island off the coast of Umbar. Minas Tirith midsummer is still around. The midsummer festival runs through July 7th. Be on the lookout for some group stuff for the kinship to run in the near future.

We will have a special SNL (MFN) on July 26th as to not divert from Remembrance Day

And with that, let’s talk about what we have been up to- and, we have a question of the month!
