NOMADS From Fez: New, hosted Valheim server, is up. Fresh start, fresh seed. Server info is pinned in Nomads.

From Bhock: Still on Ashes of Creation, Alpha 2 Phase 2, testing node progression and soon crafting Phase 3 starting mid May, so we’re still on schedule

From Stask: After a holiday hiatus, the New World crew continues working through expeditions (dungeons) on Sunday nights at 9ish central. We can be found on the fresh start server Hudsonland.

WoW Dankinia is leading the Noob Raid after a short winter break. Thank you again Celindre for stepping in and leading the group to its first full clear in my absence. Since Dankinia’s return, we’ve cleared it 2 more times and the Floor Tank counter for the year is already at 6.

WoW Classic There are a handful of folks still playing on the fresh servers, last time I checked there is nobody at 60 yet.

SWTOR Snowball cannons have been put away and keybinds have been reset to blasters and lightsabers. Mostly. Also, Warzone Wednesdays have returned for the new pvp season. Dynamic encounters are providing a quick-hit way to work toward achievements and Conquest targets. 2025
