Why No News? ‘Cause It’s All At XIEscape!

June 18th, 2011

I have received quite a few emails over the past week asking why we haven’t been posting PlayOnline updates to Limit Break Radio. As you may have noticed from my previous mention, the listen page is having problems sorting shows correctly, so we felt it would be best since things are moving toward Gamer Escape in the future that we only post information relevant to Limit Break Radio, so things like episodes and announcements don’t get buried by POL announcements.

So, you still want your FFXI news, huh? Well, good news because FFXIEscape posts not just POL announcements, but also has Dev Tracker, and Player Achievements posts you love from Pet Food Alpha as well as editorial and Op-ed posts. Oh, and how could I forget The Wiki?! FFXI’s most trusted wiki database is now available, readable and easier to edit on FFXIEscape. Make sure to update your bookmarks!

So make sure you sign up on the Gamer Escape forums, follow @FFXIEscape on Twitter, and listen to Gamer Escape Radio our live 24 hour streaming Shoutcast radio stream.

Limit Break Radio – Episode 62: The Show That Almost Wasn’t

June 6th, 2011

Limit Break Radio brings you…an episode. OK, so I know we had planned on talking about Wings of The Goddess, but Aniero got a really bad headache on the show day. Never one to disappoint the fans Aniero decided to tough it out anyway but decided to do a shorter show to just chat about what’s up in Vana’diel. Join us as we slay some Urd’s, talk about our latest project Gamer Escape, discuss content introduced in the May content patch as well as the future of content and much more. We’ll be rescheduling our Wings of the Goddess missions episode soon, so be sure to look out for further announcements.
