Episode 92: Welcome to the Kymerian Family!
https://www.buzzsprout.com/143519/7187698-episode-92-welcome-to-the-kymerian-family.mp3?blob_id=31082614
Marcus and Nick sit down with The Kymeri! Kymeri is a Twitch streamer who specializes in Star Wars video game content (specifically SWTOR’s PVP). They talk about the new High Republic books and comics, and a whole lot about Kymeri’s rise to Twitch steaming success! You can find Kymeri at: https://www.twitch.tv/thekymeri You can find Marcus at: https://www.twitch.tv/marcusb814

Dual Universe Update
We have been hard at work developing new ship designs to sell to other players in the game.
PkhBasko has begun selling a warp shuttle and is recieving good reviews on it.
The planned cyberpunk style city is coming along and will see some design changes coming soon ™
Alioth Aerospace Expo for January was pushed back after the last major update allowing us more time to prepare our ships to be showroom ready.
A rework of one the Org’s original ships is underway to make it more viable to be sold to other players within the game.
Update 0.23 came to the game in December causing major changes to Crafting and Industry which have affected the way everyone plays the game.]
WoW
Noob Raid has restarted after expansion/winter break. We will be running LFR for the next few weeks so there is an iLvl requirement of 170 to join us.
Alliance update – Alea Iacta Est Virtus on Earthing Ring-US, will be coming up on it’s 2-year anniversary this March.
Recruiting
We invited our 800th character (welcome aboard Karn!) this morning, with two more invites approved.
We continue to get new people who are either coming back to the game after many years gap, are Horde friends checking out the Alliance side, or some people who are new to WoW or looking for a family friendly casual environment to play in. We had a new member join that found us through Frogpants (welcome aboard Yopper!). And Fez’s wife came back to the game after a year away.
Mythic runs happen weekly to help folks see content and gear up for raid.
Remember you can always find the guild officers in Discord in the #lfo channel or by pinging them @officers. You can always request WoW guild invites via the in-game system by searching “alea iacta est virtus”, even if there are no officers online. Just remember, you have to go back to Guilds & Communities (J) to accept the invite once an officer approves it.

WoW Classic
Burning Crusade rumors, with a launch date before this summer vacation… seems distinct servers, so Classic will remain. Hopefully we’ll get solid information from BlizzConline in February!
Naxxramas is in full swing, the last raid of Classic
SWTOR
During the holidays we continued with MFN on Tuesdays and MEGA each month. We rang in the new year with not only our first 2021 MFN this week, but also the first Master Mode Friday Night of 2021. During MFN, we took on some world bosses that we don’t normally do which provided a chance for some guildies to see them for the first time.
The end of the year in SWTOR brought one last story beat that was the finale of a story that has been going on for essentially nine years. And with that, also came the seeds a new story. We have hints to go on and we think the new villain of the galaxy might be Darth Malgus. If it is him, it should be a wild ride. Malgus is a nuanced character who has been on both sides of torture and slavery. He has known unbridled power, but also love and loss. He has been a ruler and a rebel. There is a lot of speculation about who else might be involved and we are all looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
Tune in Tuesday nights for MFN and Friday nights for Master Mode Flashpoints and Achievements. And stay tuned for more info on January’s MEGA!
FFXIV
On Thursday, January 21st, patch 5.41 will hit and this one focuses on crafting. At least, the crafting for Ishguard restoration. The skybuilder’s ranking will complete then, so expect a mad dash to craft.
ESO
After a two week holiday break, the first MFN on 2021 happened on Friday night. We chatted about how we all spent the holidays while clearing public dungeons.
As usual, there was at least one death cause by gravity to make sure MFN’s for the year got started off correctly.
Now that the holiday’s are behind us, MFN’s are happening again.
January 21st at 5pm EST there will be a Global Reveal Event on Bethesda’s Twitch channel to introduce the 2021 Chapter and year-long adventure.
STO
We’re expecting a big announcement sometime soon in regards to the Anniversary event. Only thing going on currently is an Admiralty Event which increases EXP from the Admiralty system.
GW2
Next dungeon and more night is coming up on Friday, January 15th at 9pm ET
LOTRO
During SNL we stayed casual to end and start the year
We will be going back into PvMP this Saturday
2021 we will be trying to run more group content.
As guildies get toons higher levels we will try to do past end game going into current end game stuff
The next update is supposed to bring us game performance improvements
And with that, let’s get back to us! .
