Trion Worlds, maker of Rift, has announced that its MMORTS End of Nations will be free-to-play at launch. Under development at Petroglyph, which is staffed by numerous Westwood (Command and Conquer) luminaries, the game will deliver large-scale battles of up to 50 players, customizable units – all of them – and a massive, persistent world full of valuable resources with which to do battle on.
At launch, players will be able to access the entire game for free for an unlimited amount of time. Your typical freemium setup.
Check out the free-to-play announcement video here and stay tuned to LoreHound.com for additional coverage of End of Nations from PAX 2011! End of Nations is scheduled for release in late 2011.

SWAG, or Stuff We All Get, is often the prized possession of those that attend the yearly mayhem known as E3. Lucky (and incredibly tired) attendees walk away from the show with an extra suitcase full of knick-knacks, trinkets, dodads and trifles. Games are plastered on to all forms of odd ties-in, F3AR water bottles, Bethesda Softworks zip-up hoodies, Global Agenda buttons, SOE hipster hats, Marvel Super Hero Squad Online playing cards. You name it, someone has done it.
I’m not gloating about all of the awesome kitsch I picked up. I am trying to get youpumped for it. Why? Because we at Lore Hound are giving it all away! Seriously, watch the video above if you don’t believe me. I’ll wait for you after the jump. Continue Reading

Done? Excellent. The scavenger hunt is straightforward. You must locate my thick black glasses in each of of the E3 2010 videos (links below). Upon spotting my spectacles note the timestamp and location of the glasses. Jot down all of the times and locations, then e-mail the list over to admin_at_lorehound_dot_com (expanded to combat SPAM) with the Subject as E3 2010: The Contest. The first three readers to do so correctly will win a subset of the pictured swag (below).
Be warned, you’ll need superb Where’s Waldo and Highlights skills. The glasses are incredibly well hidden or only in the frame for a few seconds during some videos!
