Oh, shenanigans. Four hours of maintenance just when I want to play. Oh, but wait, it’s not routine? It’s for the introduction of Season 7 for Star Trek Online? I guess I can handle that! Community Manager Brandon Felczer dropped the notice on us just minutes ago, being kind enough to include the full patch notes along with the notification.
For those unaware, New Romulus will return to the core story of the destruction of Romulus.
The patch notes are massive, so any serious player would be wise to give them at least a few moments of their time to adjust for everything from general changes, the first re-haul of end-game rewards since they were introduced to changes in a handful of missions.
Season 7: New Romulus is scheduled to keep the live servers down on November 13 from 9:00 AM EST until 1:00 PM EST. The test servers may be unavailable during this time as well.
With just 7 days left of the free month of subscription for all players in Star Wars: The Old Republic, Bioware preps its first major content patch for release by showing an in-game cinematic for one of the Flashpoints in the upcoming Patch labeled “Rise of the Rakghouls”.
Here’s the excerpt verbatim of the backstory & lore behind the “Kaon Under Siege” Flashpoint:
The Tion Hegemony is in utter chaos. A mysterious outbreak of the Rakghoul plague has spread across several worlds, killing countless civilians while mutating others into Rakghouls themselves. On the planet of Kaon a small group of survivors fight against the endless waves of Rakghoul monstrosities. Now both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire have set plans in motion to rescue the survivors of Kaon, locate the source of the virus, and forge an alliance with the Tion Hegemony.
Patch 1.1 “Rise of the Rakghouls” is set to be released on January 17th, after weekly maintenance.

We’re not the New York Times. We’re not going to throw up a paywall in front of our jargon (or get tricked by April Fool’s Day pranks). No, that would defeat the purpose of this blog, which is to express our great love of the medium that entertains us so thoroughly. To spread its word and highlight the highs and lows of the industry. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need money. We have domain fees, hosting charges and all that pesky camera equipment to worry about. And let’s not forget about the hamsters that run our gear. They need both food and water! Daily! Those needy critters.
One of the ways you can support LoreHound.com is by playing a game. Yes, that’s it. Fire up your browser of choice (like the one you’re in right now) and head over to Shakes & Fidget to make an account. The name may ring a bell, as it was once an extremely popular WoW comic, before Blizzard sent it a letter of the Cease & Desist nature. “No matter” the creators said. “We’ll just do something different with the property.” Fast forward a few months and a free-to-play browser game set in a hilarious fantasy world was born.
The title is basic, a text-based MUD fleshed out with hilarious art and quest text, which allows it to be played without giving it constant attention. Basic, yet highly addictive. Pick your actions and let your newly-created orc, human, gnome, dark elf, demon or dwarf ravage the countryside and assault dungeons for epic loot. “How epic?” you ask. How about chicken-based bazookas and bows made out of rockets epic. Is that epic enough for you?!
LoreHound.com has setup an official fan guild on Server 1 that is currently being lorded over by resident blogger Kershocker. The guild is in need of members to start participating in the endgame, Guild Wars and Guild Dungeons. Players of all levels are welcome.
Don’t worry, there’s no fire to stand in.
