Literary Scholar Event Rant

Biggest complaint, how it really isn't your scholar against another’s. It ultimately came down to how powerful your supporting partners over all are.

P2P vs F2P Overall Game Play Strategy

In addition to talking points for this blog, part of the reason why I started a free account was to have a controlled environment where I test a different strategy approach to the game than I have on my P2P. 'Cause on my P2P I’ve changed my partner strategy…

Mid-Autumn Festival: Nailed It!
