Tons of stuff happens during the week with MMOs that it would just boggle your brains, so it’s all here for you in one post as usual.

Fallen Earth promises to be different by being “elf free”, Star Wars revealed the Trooper class, EVE gets a bit of a storyline change, and LOTRO shows you how to pull off those tricky fellowship maneuvers.

Wanna know the rest? Of course you do, and it’s all after the break.

Warhammer Online’s Beyond the Sands event went live yesterday and will run through April 27.

The next phase in the Call to Arms live expansion, the event pits both factions against the Liche Priests over artifacts that once belonged to Nehekharan Kings.

It is mainly a RvR event, but don’t worry PvE-ers. There’s something in it for you too.

The Call to Arms live event is a prequel leading up to the release of the Land of the Dead, which is expected to host new dungeons, a new RvR zone and new instances.

Dawn of War 2′s patch 1.2.1 has made it through Relic’s QA process, and is scheduled to go live April 13.

The full list of patch notes are posted on the official forums, and includes information regarding upcoming balance changes.

A new six-player map called Tiber Outpost will support Team Battle mode, and you can get a few new screenshots of it here.

Long into your Steam account and the game will automatically patch.

This week wasn’t too eventful in the way of MMO news, other than Warhammer consolidating server populations and luring gamers back with some goodies. But we already touched on that, it’s, like, old.

Today, news reached us that Second Life is trying to deal with all of the adult content in the game, Zork is no longer going to be an MMO, and EverQuest II players are currently inebriated with Brewday. Who wouldn’t look forward to Brewday?

Hit the break for all you need to know about the goings-on in the land of MMOS this week.

EA boss John Riccitiello confirmed at E3 today that BioWare’s working on a new Knights of the old Republic game with an MMO “component” to it.

The project has been heavily rumoured for some time.

“We’ve got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development,” said Riccitiello.

“The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon.

“And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about – in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it.”

He was then asked if the game was Knights of the old Republic and his response was a resounding, “Yes.”

That’s the kind of megaton we’ve been waiting for. Thanks, Portfolio.
