In the news, we cover Game Update 3.0.1, the return of the Life Day event, and what we reckon is better than cross-server queues. Then we discuss Ilmarinen’s statistical analysis of the results from the first three seasons of arena-based Ranked PvP.

1. Introduction

4. Community

5. Force Feedback

Grigori (who plays Outbreak, a Jedi Guardian on The Tomb of Freedon Nadd server) provided this video about realm-versus-realm combat in Warhammer Online.

Kal strongly suggests we watch this Star Wars parody of the movie Frozen.

6. Sarlacc Digest

Ilmarinen, a statistician, has applied his skills to analyse the data retrieved by Yusi of the Red Eclipse server for the first three seasons of arena-based Ranked PvP. You can also see Yusi’s own presentation of the data here.

Yusi also has a site with PvP records for Red Eclipse, and a mirror site for the Tomb of Freedon Nadd server.

You can also find our own visual presentation of the data on our Leaderboards page.
