More patch notes are out for Age of Conan's August 27 patch. It's not as long as the one released a couple of days ago, but it's still a pretty hefty update with changes to the classes, guilds, the GUI, and more. Check it out in the full article.

One important feature of Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts' MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies is its Galactic Showcase. Here, players are encouraged to come up with unique in-game events and places for their association.

For today, we get to visit Imperial Inquisition Detention Center that can be found in the the Realm of Shadows on Naboo (-4168, -194, 5883). The full details and some screenshots after the jump!

Let's get acquainted with Warhammer Online's two of the first professions from the human Empire faction: the knights of the blazing sun, and the witch hunter. Taking care of the information debut on these two professions are EA Mythic's content design lead Doug Woolsey, designer Brian Wheeler, and senior designer Steve Marvin in an interview with GameSpot.

Now, getting down to business, the Knights of the blazing sun are the "classic" knights, so to speak. They are tasked with the defense and protection of the Empire for its greater glory. In battle, they show their loyalty to the ranks by protecting his comrades as well, and basically, just keep a close watch on each others' backs.

As for their capabilities, it is interesting to note that these guys sure can absorb massive amounts of damage "while dealing out lumps of their own." What drives them are glory and honor. Yeah, call them square if you must. But one thing's for sure. These guys mean business. And they sure are bent on getting what they came for.

Let's then take a look at the other profession, the Witch Hunters. Before you start imagining of some old character, armed with a pitchfork and a blazing torch, screaming "Kill the Witch! Kill the Witch!", allow us to snap you out of your misplaced reverie. These guys are pretty cool, actually. Steve Marvin describes them as "somewhere between Van Helsing and a grand inquisitor."

Replacing the pitchforks would be weaponry that fits modern, like pistols, along with swords and flaming brands. Okay, so maybe they do like to keep the torches. Anyhow, they are "all-out attackers who disdain defense." As to what that exactly means, we can only guess. But it most certainly doesn't sound pretty.

Anyways, to get to know these guys more, just click on the Read link below for the full interview. You can also find there some additional info as to gameplay (ie. PVP system) and whatnot.

Enjoy!

They've done it again. You either have to curse Risen's luck or praise the fact that they've gotten so far in the game to have one drop.

A little over a week ago, the Risen guild's leader Failure was the first person to ever have a fully formed Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian in his hands. It was a world first for WoW from one of the most progressive guilds in the game. This week, the intrepid band of adventurers hit another world first, picking up the very first drop of the Corrupted Ashbringer, the greatsword of Highlord Mograine who was the former leader of the Scarlet Crusade.

This sword is not only an important piece of Warcraft lore, but is directly connected to the expansion. Equipping the sword will allow you to walk into Scarlet Monastery and interact with the soldiers there, and talking to Inquisitor Fairbanks in the back room of the Monastery will give you new information as to one of Mograine's sons, who lives in Outland and can apparently cleanse the Corrupted Ashrbinger and return the sword to its former glory.

Once again, congratulations are in order for the Risen guild for the sweet loot and their warrior class leader Axel who is now the first ever to own this epic sword.
