For those who missed Crowfall's massive all-day...

So let's break this down very simply. There's a crisis in the future of Star Trek Online, which is leading agents further in the future to go into the past and recruit agents that come to the present (which is the past for the recruiters) to fight the problem in the future (also the past for the recruiters). Does...

Star Wars: The Old Republic launched its Dark vs. Light event yesterday under a heavy umbrella of player controversy. Veteran players have taken to the forums, Reddit, and other SWTOR fan sites to express their disappointment in the way that BioWare has handled the situation. The discussion has been wrought with misconceptions and in some cases complete untruths. But...

Four years ago this month, Funcom released The Secret World into the wild. That calls for celebration! Indeed, Funcom is kicking off the festivities in-game today.
