for something to do while waiting for AC: TD! :)

Turbine just posted 2 big announcements! First, the release date
for the expansion pack has been pushed back to July 18th. I for one, am
relieved! This way, it's not coinciding with my week long trip to Disney
with my nieces! ;-) Second, Jessica Mulligan will be leaving Turbine. Wah!!
You can read the details in the
April
Letter to the Team.
This week's
Post of the
Week is up on the forums. Congrats to Kelvar Silvermace!

I've made a new page to accommodate live
events for the month of April and added to the Infiltration event section.
You can read
my
account of the Shadow Invasion on TD last night. Unfortunately, I didn't
see much as I spent most of it at the lifestone. ;-) A second item can also
be found on the page. It's April Fools and Sammy the Drudge has been up to
some hijinks in Dereth! You can read the story
here!
I'm still taking advantage of the patchless
month to fill in some missing bits and pieces on the site. The
Easter Eggs
section has finally been updated with the
Chest of
Camping Ineptitude! Expect a few more entries to be filled in over the
next few days!
