RSI Polaris Guild Ship With massive torpedoes designed to take out much larger ships, a small-craft hangar, and a military-standard med bay, the Polaris is capable of single-handedly keeping your local star system safe and secure.  The event also highlighted RUIN’s organizational prowess and community engagement, as they hosted access to Orbital Lazer Platforms, unveiling an array of powerful weapons and new armor variants/cosmetics. The operation wasn’t just a logistical success—it was a spectacle of memorable PvP clashes, drawing in international organizations and prominent YouTubers and livestreamers. RUIN’s ability to field multiple well-crewed capital ships alongside fighter aircraft underscored their dominance in high-stakes engagements, cementing their reputation as a formidable force in the game’s competitive landscape. Last week we shared with you that pre-orders will begin today. Guess what? Today is today, and Dune: Awakening is now available for pre-purchase! Important Dune: Awakening Update Thanks to this process, we’ve concluded that with a bit more time to cook, we can act on a lot more of the feedback we know is important to our beta testers. As such, we will be moving the release date of Dune: Awakening to June 10th, with head start launching on June 5th. This is not a decision we take lightly, we know everyone is very excited to get playing, but these three extra weeks will give us the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one. Azeroth Beautiful: A Look at Housing Interior Design In our previous Housing article, we shared a high-level overview of our plans and philosophies. This time around, we are getting concrete and discussing specifics for decoration systems. It allows us to not only show off some of what’s possible but also to answer some of the common questions and concerns we’ve seen come up from the community. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RUIN Gaming is at a critical juncture in its history as we conclude our engagement with the World of Warcraft (WoW) World Soul Saga, marking the end of twenty years of narrative under the narrative direction of Chris Metzen. This closure signals not only the completion of a significant chapter but also the initiation of a strategic realignment toward emerging massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), including Star Citizen, Ashes of Creation, and Dune Awakening. This shift is driven by Blizzard Entertainment’s insufficient investment in WoW’s player-versus-player (PvP) capabilities and outdated game engine. RUIN Gaming will reduce WoW operations to minimal player-versus-environment (PvE) activities on the Stormrage server, closing all Classic branches and most Retail branches. Concurrently, active support for Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) will cease following its transfer to Broadsword. Recruitment, leadership development, and financial support initiatives are underway to ensure mission readiness for operations in new MMORPGs, focusing on large-scale PvP and community-driven engagements. Critical News:
One of our favorite traditions, BlizzCon brings us together over our shared passion for Blizzard’s universes, but at its heart, BlizzCon has always been about so much more. It’s about you, the communities you are a part of, and gives us the chance to connect, build friendships, and create unforgettable memories together. As many celebrate the Lunar New Year all around the world and in Azeroth, we want to take a moment to pause, reflect on 2024, and share more of what we have planned for 2025.
