To Skip or Not To Skip? Several bloggers I'm following have been talking about Final Fantasy XIV recently, not least because it just got a new expansion . However, ...

Agreed, very insightful! I've still never skipped story on any char (not counting the two I created from free level boosts) - this post from 2019 still applies for me:

Turtle WoW: Interesting Changes for a Slightly Different Sort of Vanilla Experience I've mostly written about Turtle WoW in terms of their custom content and how it compares to real Vanilla WoW, but I wanted to also dedicate...

Whatever you may think of #TurtleWoW, it's hard to deny that they have a lot of interesting ideas. In today's post I talk about some small changes they made to the Vanilla formula that I thought were really interesting:

Let's Talk About Czerka Combat Enhancers During the last Galactic Season, we were introduced to the concept of experimental Czerka combat stims, which were supposed to bring a breat...

Back in #SWTOR this week, I have some thoughts on the Czerka stims in the seasonal flashpoints:

Me: "Wonder if they fixed Brann being totally OP yet? It's been what, 3 weeks?"
Brann on the tier 11 end boss:

Turtle WoW: Can't We Be Friends, Blizz? I haven't played much Turtle WoW over the past few weeks as life has been quite busy and my limited WoW time has been fully taken up by Legi...

There've also been some new developments in the #TurtleWoW situation this week, which I sum up in this post:

Looking forward to 7.8 I learned long ago not to get too hyped about new content for my favourite MMOs as it's too easy to end up disappointed, but then, what's li...

I've been a bit quiet online as work has been a pain, but I now have a week off, yay! Here's a brief post of me squeeing about what's new and coming up in SWTOR:

I had never done the death knight order hall campaign before, so doing it in Remix and finding myself with an objective to defeat Lady Liadrin (of Midnight trailer fame) was quite funny. I didn't know what was going to happen, just that my mission was very obviously not going to work out. 😂 #WoW

Love these sorts of little teaser videos; I wish they did them more often. I'm excited to get new story AND all of that in the next patch!

Everyone else is sharing theirs, so here are my own first impressions of WoW Legion Remix: #worldofwarcraft

I will add! I just noticed that both sites work on my phone now, so maybe my PC just has some residual issues.

Yeah, both of them throw up the same error when I try to reach them.

Yes, I'm in the UK. And sorry for giving you headaches!

Sorry, still getting the error. The error says "Peer received a valid certificate, but access was denied."

Sorry, I meant both the West Karana URL and Chasing Dings. And I'm still getting the error now, unfortunately. This is in Firefox by the way. I tried in Edge and there F-Secure just blocks it as suspicious before I can even get there!

Hi Tipa, your blog is giving me an "Secure Connection Failed" error recently... not sure what that's about, but it does also say to contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem... (SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT)

Galactic Season 9 Progress and Goals We're eight weeks into Galactic Season 9 at this point, which means that the first players are getting close to hitting level 100. I tend to...

A personal progress update for Galactic Season 9: #SWTOR

If we're calling Legion Remix "Lemix" now, does that retroactively turn MoP Remix into "Pemix"? Memix? Mopix?

The Island of Balor After finishing Northwind , my Turtle WoW hunter continued straight on to the private server's next custom zone, which is in fact designed f...

More #TurtleWoW adventures - they are definitely good at building some nice, Vanilla-like zones:

People hate "that guy" in flashpoints who runs ahead skipping everything, won't help if anyone aggros anything and then just sits there complaining. People also hate "that guy" who won't communicate, pulls everything but then also can't hold aggro despite being a tank. Both in the same run was WILD.

I think Koth has a hard time because at the moment you lock him in, he competes directly with Lana and Theron. I know that's why I haven't romanced him yet, even though I generally like him.

Date Night Data Earlier in the year, Narrative Director Ashley Ruhl gave a talk at 2025's Game Developers Conference , on the subject of SWTOR's date nights...

Did you enjoy #SWTOR 's date nights? You might find this interesting:

What have the @swtor.com devs unleashed? 😂

On my timeline this was right underneath a post about how T-Rex was formally named 120 years ago (supposedly). Seemed fitting! Hope you have a good one!

I can't help seeing the :u as a cutesy smiley face.

Exploring the Forests of Northwind My hunter on Turtle WoW reached the first of their mid-level custom zones recently. According to their wiki , the zone of  Northwind is des...

Continuing my exploration of #TurtleWoW, I checked out what's (I believe) their newest custom zone. Pros and cons of the experience:

EA Set to Be Bought for $55 Billion - What does this mean for the future of the company, its studios, and its games? Electronic Arts, better known as 'EA' and the publisher behind Star Wars: The Old Republic, has agreed a deal to sell Electronic Arts to an investor group for $55 billion, with the sale set for early ...

EA is being sold.

I've done my best to address many of the topics, questions, concerns and comparisons that I've seen come up from players about the future of EA and #SWTOR. A very long read, with lots of topics! 📖

This Week in Aurebesh A blog exploring the worlds of the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO and its use of aurebesh in the game's design.

I hadn't planned to celebrate the 9th anniversary of This Week in Aurebesh with a post about Electronic Arts, but here we are. I don't know how this all will affect #SWTOR, but I do lament the human cost these deals take on the people who make the games we love.
