As March winds down to a close, the WAR continues -- and Mythic producer Carrie Gouskos steps up to rally the troops behind a few juicy, if tantalizingly vague, quality of life improvements coming in the 1.3.5 patch. Take my hand, Dorothy, for it's dyes, scenarios, Marauders and minimaps, oh my!

Following Warhammer Online's patch 1.3.4, the team has kept a close eye on the PvP scenarios, and while they are happy overall, the plague of player /AFK's have taken their toll. Carrie promises that they are "actively investigating a solution for this problem." She also highlighted the improved communication efforts of the team, as seen on the official Dev Discussions forum.

Small but attractive improvements are in store for WAR's 1.3.5 patch, including a sharper look for armor dyes, "gutters" for the minimap to show off-map objective directions, and dual wielding for the mutated Marauder class.

The development team of Final Fantasy XI, everyone's favorite notoriously hard MMO, recently sat down with Carolyn Koh of MMORPG.com during their annual fan festival for an in-depth look at why the team made some of their decisions in the game's design and what we can look forward to in the future.

The roundtable is being introduced in a three part discussion, which covers topics like the campaign system of the latest expansion, questions about the items and jobs, and questions regarding PvP and the future of Final Fantasy XI. With the game recently making headlines with a controversial server transfer policy, it's good to see a bit of positive coverage paired with some insight into the 6 year old game -- especially with new features like Moblin Maze Mongers just appearing. Plus, our favorite addition to the game with the December update: No more sales tax in Jeuno! Can't forget about that. We think it's about time for us to clean our equipment chests.
