<State of Valar Gaming Reports>

To the Membership of the Valar Guild, Greetings and Salutations on the 17th Anniversary of the Valar Guild.

Prior to the Games Site Mass-Update, there were 156 members playing 12 games, as listed on the Games Site.

Of those 156 members:

• 28 members played Lord of the Rings Online
• 11 members played World of Warcraft
• 4 members played Star Wars: The Old Republic
• Dark Age of Camelot, Diablo 3, and Rift were each played by 2 members
• Defiance, Guild Wars 2, League of Legends, Minecraft, StarCraft 2, and Wartune were each played by 1 member

On September 01, 2014,  the Games Site Mass-Update began, with e-mails being sent to 115 members listed as active on the Member Page and having an e-mail listed on the Member Page. Of those 115 mailed, 14 returned undeliverable. Of the remaining 101 mails, 16 players responded, and information was gleaned for our in-game rosters of WoW and LotRO for 19 members who had logged in at least once in the last 3 months.

There are now 148 members listed on the Games Site as playing 14 games and on 1 gaming platform.

Of those 148 members:

• 1 member each currently plays Civilization V, Elsword, Hearthstone, Marvel Heroes, and Wartune.
• 2 members each currently play Everquest 2, Guild Wars 2, League of Legends, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
• 3 members play Eve Online.
• 5 members play StarCraft 2.
• 6 members play Diablo 3.
• 12 members play World of Warcraft.
• 30 members play Lord of the Rings Online, keeping that our most played game for another year.

I would like to note that our Guild Branches in Star Wars: The Old Republic are now on Ebon Hawk, not Rubat Crystal, since the latter was merged into the former. My GSMU mail stated it was Rubat Crystal, as did the Game Site. The information has been corrected on the Games Site. My apologies for the error.

Thus concludes this years State of Valar Gaming. If your gaming information on the Games Site is incorrect, please e-mail me the correction. If your gaming information isn't up there, you're welcome to send it in still so that you can find other members in the games you play.

Happy Anniversary.

May the stars shine upon your faces.
