There’s so much going on in all of our games, it can be hard to keep up! To top it off, many of our gamers play more than one of the SOE games through the Station Access account option, but they might not have the time to be an active part of the communities for each of the games they play. We hope this blog post will help folks keep up with our biggest news items, and some fun and informative forum threads.



Here’s what’s happening in the SOE / Station Access games this week:
