Kirsten Axelsen is an economist specializing in Medicare reimbursement, payer negotiations, and innovative reimbursement contracts. She’s a fellow of the Aspen Institute and a visiting scholar with the American Enterprise Institute. She joins host Duane Schulthess to unpack bipartisan pressure on drug prices, the Part D redesign’s rapid shift of catastrophic costs to plans, and the resulting premium versus coverage tradeoffs and PDP exits. Axelson explains why forecasting IRA impacts is uncertain, how nine versus thirteen-year timelines tilt incentives toward biologics, and why price controls can weaken both generic entry and biosimilar uptake. The discussion explores MFN-style ideas and trade uncertainties, vertical integration around biosimilars, and practical fixes from EPIC-like timelines to building a faster, more connected U.S. clinical-trial ecosystem with better participant support. Politics & Incentives: Trump MFN attempts, bipartisan pressure on high drug prices, and insurer dynamics versus the pace of biomedical innovation. Part D Redesign: The rapid shift of catastrophic costs to plans, premium versus coverage tradeoffs, PDP exits, and access challenges in rural areas. Modeling & Consequences: Limits of CBO forecasts, uncertainty bands, design choices around price controls, and risks to post-market and follow-on research. Competition Levers: Small molecule disincentives, low biosimilar uptake on formularies, generic entry pressures under price controls, and plan behavior. Policy Paths: EPIC-style timeline fixes, negotiation mechanics, MFN and trade uncertainties, and making U.S. clinical trials faster, more connected, and participant-friendly.

Following a barrage of letters from President Donald Trump urging 17 large pharmaceutical companies to implement Most Favored Nation drug pricing reforms in the U.S., analysts and industry watchers are questioning how far the president’s authority extends, while several drugmakers have signaled a willingness to negotiate. In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," we break down the latest Most Favored Nation pricing pressures in the U.S., how companies are responding and which facets of the proposal might fall short of Trump’s goals. Fierce Pharma’s Eric Sagonowsky and Fraiser Kansteiner discuss the current state of those reform efforts and past attempts to rein in U.S. drug costs, followed by a brief discussion on tariffs.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news Canada has conceded it has lost its dairy dispute with New Zealand.But first in the US, actual initial jobless claims in the US rose sharply to 261,000 from the previous week but that was less than seasonal factors would have suggested. There are now 2,017,000 people on these benefits, +4% more than year ago levels and the most in four months.After three down months, the Philly Fed factory survey recovered in July. New order intakes rose. But also rising was the prices firms paid for their inputs and what they charged their customers. 'Safe' behind a tariff wall, these firms are showing the expected reactions, ones that will make them internationally uncompetitive.Also rising were US retail sales in June. This also came after two retreating months, and was not expected. Year on year these sales are up +3.7% of which car sales rose +5.3%. Other than vehicles, the rise was +3.3% and still quite positive. However 2.7% of that can be accounted for by CPI inflation.US factory activity and retail sales may be rising but business inventories are not. And that is a resilient sign.One sector not showing any resilience is their house-building sector. The NAHB sentiment survey shows it remains at a low ebb, down near its 2022 lows. Affordability issues remain at the heart of the sector's woes, and they are hardly likely to improve as tariff-taxes flow through.In Canada, they have quietly conceded they have lost their dairy access dispute with New Zealand and will now honour the CPTPP treaty agreements. Although the US is not party to this dispute, the MFN clauses in its USMCA Agreement probably mean wider access for others to the Canadian dairy market.Across the Pacific and continuing its yoyo pattern, Singapore's June exports jumped. In fact they rose +14.3% from May to be +13% higher than year-ago levels.In Australia, their June labour market softened. They were expecting a jobs gain of +20,000 but only got +2,000. Their jobless rate ticked up to 4.3%. As a result, financial market pricing for an RBA rate cut on August 12 have risen.And inflation expectations in Australia are staying stubbornly high - although not as high in July as they were in June. The Melbourne Institute's Survey of Consumer Inflationary and Wage Expectations came in with inflation expectations at 4.7% which was down from June's 5.0% but apart from that still its highest since mid 2023. Expected wage growth fell slightly in July and remains relatively weak.A softening labour market but very high inflation expectations (and a frothy real estate market), will all make the RBA's assessments very difficult.More globally, container freight rates fell -2.6% last week from the prior week to be -55% lower than year-ago levels. But those year-ago levels were unusually boosted by Red Sea tensions. Currently, outbound rates from China are the weak spots in this market. Bulk cargo rates rose a sharp +34% last week to be back to year-ago levels. To be fair these current overall levels are basically 'average' over the past 35 years (so in inflation-adjusted terms they are very low).The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.47%, little-changed from yesterday at this time. Wall Street is firmer today with the S&P500 up +0.6%, enough to claim a new record high. Good corporate earnings are driving the mood.The price of gold will start today at US$3,336/oz, down -US$18 from yesterday at this time.American oil prices are up +US$1 at US$67.50/bbl while the international Brent price is now just under US$69.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.3 USc and down -25 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +30 bps at 91.4 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +10 bps at 51.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.2, and unchanged.The bitcoin price starts today at US$119,100 and essentially unchanged from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained modest, at just on +/-1.1%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

President Donald Trump put the pharmaceutical industry on notice early Monday with the signing of his "most favored nation" (MFN) executive order on drug prices. The order seeks to tie U.S. prices to significantly lower costs overseas. Many questions remain about how the measure will be implemented, and legal challenges are almost certain. To assess the seriousness of the threat, Fierce Pharma assembled a team of reporters and editors to break down the executive order and the industry’s response. After examining the MFN executive order, the group dives into other recent policy developments in Washington, D.C., and beyond, including tariffs, Medicare drug price negotiations and more.

President Trump's executive order signed on May 12, 2025, aims to reduce U.S. prescription drug prices by aligning them with the lowest prices paid internationally through a "most favored nation" (MFN) policy. However, several aspects of the order may allow pharmaceutical companies to circumvent its intended effects. It is the best attempt yet by any sitting President to reign in Big Pharma. The order is intended to force Big Pharma to charge Americans the same price they charge in nations where it is the least expensive. The problem is there are some "loopholes" and ambiguity in the order. I believe those loopholes are there to give the Administration the best chance at surviving a court challenge in some radical court, Judge shopped by the left. In this Episode of "Stinchfield" we go through the exact portions of the Executive Order Big Pharma is looking to exploit 24 hours after President Trump signed it.

The Jet, The Deal, and the Delusion: What the Trump-Qatar Saga Reveals About America's Political Decay

Best of Nerds for Yang

Hello nerds,After a steady stream of YouTube shorts and weekend content, I finally hopped back on the Nerds for Humanity livestream, and what a storm of absurdity we had to break down. If you're a center-left policy wonk, what follows may not make you feel better about the future of this country, but it'll make you feel like you're not going crazy for being outraged.We covered three stories. Each was a peek through the cracked window of American democracy, filtered through the bizarre prism of the Trumpist revival. From the Qatari jet that smells like a bribe, to a trade "deal" that undoes Trump's own blunder, to a shockingly good policy idea on pharma that no one—including the New York Times—bothered to cover. Let me walk you through each.Story 1: The $400 Million Jet From QatarImagine the headlines if President Biden accepted a half-billion-dollar luxury jet from the Saudi royal family to use as Air Force One. Now imagine if that jet was offered as a "gift" from a foreign government with ties to Hamas, with the only assurance being that it would later be displayed at the Trump Presidential Library. Sound plausible? That's what's on offer from Qatar to Donald Trump."You're going to disobey the order of the Supreme Court, deport people without due process, and accept a $400 million plane from a foreign government? That hurts your brain." — Me, in stunned disbeliefTrump defenders say it's a harmless donation. But even MAGA forums seemed uneasy. Fox News barely covered the story, and when they did, they quickly buried it. The idea that the future Air Force One—a flying command center during national crises—could be a foreign-made gift? That's not just sus. It's a Trojan Horse with wings."Didn't the Trojans give a gift, too?" — My live commentaryThe irony? This is the same base that cries foul about Hunter Biden's art sales and corruption. Yet when Trump auctions face-time dinners via a crypto coin and deregulates crypto enforcement, it's apparently savvy business. When he accepts a potentially compromised aircraft from a regime that also hosts Taliban leaders, it's not treason—it's branding.Story 2: The Uncelebrated Win on Drug PricingCredit where it's due. In a rare moment of policy lucidity, Trump proposed a Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing strategy for pharmaceuticals. The idea? The U.S. shouldn't pay more than other countries for the same drug. If this actually gets done—really done, not just tweeted and forgotten—it would be a substantive victory for Americans crushed by high drug costs."Obama talked about it, Biden tried Medicare negotiation, but Trump just said: screw it, we're not paying more than Canada or the U.K."Surprisingly, no one wanted to talk about it. Not Fox. Not the New York Times. The former, presumably because Trump's win wasn't culture war red meat. The latter? Maybe it doesn't fit the preferred narrative."Poopy stinky. Freaking New York Times had Belichick's girlfriend on the homepage before the pharma deal."When both major media outlets fail to cover a story that affects the lives of tens of millions of Americans, it's not just media bias—it's systemic rot. We'd rather scream about TikTok bans and border clashes than do the hard work of evaluating policy.Story 3: The China Deal That Wasn'tTrump declared a "historic trade win" with China. The truth? He rolled back tariffs he imposed just a month prior. The markets cheered, but not because of a deal—because Trump stopped hurting them. There was no grand negotiation, no concession from China, just a chaotic game of poker where Trump folded and called it a win."This is your guy? The art of the deal? It's like he declared mango Gatorade the best flavor and MAGA was like ‘Oh yeah I've always loved mango.'"What's worse is the White House crowed about this as if it were the new Marshall Plan. It wasn't. It was a Ctrl-Z of his own failed policy."The only people who thought this was a win were Trump and the Fox chyron writers."The Real TakeawayLet me be painfully honest: we're living in an era of selective outrage and performative governance. One side celebrates crimes if it's their guy. The other side buries policy wins if it contradicts their narrative. Both parties play to their base, and media outlets amplify the rage bait because nuance doesn't generate clicks."Flooding the zone isn't just a Bannon tactic. It's a way to make Americans so overwhelmed they stop caring."We should care. Because accepting a luxury plane from a foreign adversary is not normal. Because a policy that could reduce your grandma's insulin cost should be front-page news. And because calling a self-inflicted trade mess a triumph is gaslighting the electorate.Final ThoughtsThree takeaways, nerds:* Yes to the Pharma Deal. If Trump can actually execute on MFN pricing and codify it into law, that would help millions. I'll cheer it. Just don't let it be another Trumpcare or wall that never gets built.* Hell no to the Qatar Jet. That's not a donation. It's a golden leash from a foreign monarchy with interests diametrically opposed to ours. The idea that it could be used as Air Force One is reckless.* Wake up to the media failures. When both Fox and the Times fail in opposite ways, we lose. We have to stop outsourcing our discernment to headline editors.If you got this far, thank you.

MARKET SHOCK: MONDAY MELTDOWN, BUT A POSSIBLE REBOUND India's stock markets suffered their worst single-day fall in 10 months, with the Sensex plunging nearly 3%—opening 4,000 points lower—after Donald Trump's tariff threats sent global investors into panic mode. Midcap and smallcap indices dropped even more, down 3.5% and 3.8%. Despite the turmoil, experts say this isn't an India-specific issue. “Today's correction is more global panic than India-specific,” noted Finavenue's Abhishek Jaiswal. Historically, such sharp corrections are often followed by strong rebounds. Meanwhile, the rupee stayed largely stable, slipping only 0.47%, and India's markets are still outperforming peers like Japan, Hong Kong, and the US. UP POLITICIAN ARRESTED IN MASSIVE ₹750 CR BANK FRAUD Vinay Shankar Tiwari, son of late UP strongman Hari Shankar Tiwari, was arrested in a ₹750 crore bank fraud case. The ED claims he diverted funds from a ₹1,129 crore loan taken by Gangotri Enterprises, where he was a promoter. After ignoring multiple summons, Tiwari was picked up from Lucknow following raids across five cities. Over ₹100 crore in assets have been seized. The case stems from a CBI FIR filed after complaints from the Bank of India-led lending consortium. Tiwari, once elected on a BSP ticket and later with the Samajwadi Party, is now at the heart of one of UP's largest banking scandals. TRUMP TARIFFS COULD SHRINK INDIA'S US EXPORTS BY $5.76 BILLION India's booming exports to the US face a serious threat under Donald Trump's revived “America First” agenda. According to the Global Trade Research Initiative, new tariffs could slash India's exports by over 6% in 2025. High-impact sectors include gems and jewellery, electronics, auto parts, and seafood. Of the $89.8 billion India exported to the US last year, $67.2 billion will now face a steep 26% duty—up from lower MFN rates. While some industries may benefit from Chinese penalties, many others face steep losses. India's government is maintaining a cautious stance, avoiding retaliatory tariffs for now. LPG PRICES UP ₹50; PETROL, DIESEL EXCISE HIKED Households will pay more for cooking gas starting Tuesday, April 8, with LPG cylinder prices hiked by ₹50. Under the Ujjwala scheme, subsidized cylinders will now cost ₹550; others will pay ₹853. The government also raised excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹2 per litre but clarified that pump prices will remain unchanged for now, thanks to falling global crude prices. “The price hike will be reviewed,” said Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, noting the move will help recover ₹43,000 crore in losses incurred by oil companies due to previous subsidies. PRESTIGE HOSPITALITY GEARS UP FOR ₹2,500 CR IPO Prestige Hospitality Ventures, a subsidiary of real estate major Prestige Group, is preparing to go public to raise ₹2,000–2,500 crore. The company is expected to file its draft IPO papers with SEBI in the next two weeks. The funds will be used to expand its hotel portfolio and reduce debt. The firm currently operates eight hotels (1,477 keys) and has 15 more in the pipeline, including high-end properties in Delhi Aerocity, Mumbai, Goa, and more. With travel demand rising and partnerships like Marriott in place, the IPO aims to tap into India's fast-growing hospitality market. Prestige joins a wave of hotel IPOs including Samhi Hotels, Juniper Hotels, and Ventive Hospitality, as the sector rides a post-pandemic growth wave.

Josiah Luis Alderete/Medicine for Nightmares Bookstore, Part 2 (S7E10)

In Part 2, we start off talking about the significance of opening a Latinx-owned bookstore in the heart of the Mission, on 24th Street.   The folks who run Medicine for Nightmares call the entire space at 3036 24th Street—the bookstore in front and gallery in back—"The Portal." Josiah talks about the intention to utilize that gallery space to highlight art and artists in the Mission. The gallery is also often home to community group meetings, further solidifying its importance. That's my kind of mixed-use. In the three years that MfN has been open, they've hosted more than 800 events in the gallery.   To couch our discussion of how they choose which books to sell at Medicine for Nightmares, Josiah points out that the last time he checked, something like 75 or 80 percent of bookstores in the US are white-owned. He shares stories of sneaking out of his home in Marin when he was a teenager, driving to The City, and going to City Lights, which was open until midnight in those days. It was there, though, that Josiah discovered Latinx poets, writers who spoke his language, literally.   For him and his business partner, Tân Khánh Cao, it was always about wanting to see themselves reflected on the shelves. Josiah mentions a long-held, racist belief by publishers that Black and brown folks don't read. That, of course, is nonsense, and the bookstore stands with others in direct defiance and opposition to that mindset.   On their first day of business, Josiah says that a young mom came in with her kid and went to the children's books section of the store. He and Tân noticed that she was crying, so they went over to see if everything was OK. "I've never been in a bookstore before and seen a kids' book that looks like my kid," she told them. That was the first day.   We then turn to the story of how they came up with the name of the store. Joshia and Tân were throwing out potential names to each other out front on the sidewalk one day before they opened. "Each one of us was coming up with a worse name than the other," he says, half-jokingly. One of them suggested looking at titles from Sun-Ra, a musician they both like. One of his songs is called "Medicine for a Nightmare." It clicked for them instantly.   Then we talk about the growing call to ban books in the US. In my opinion, simply opening for business and turning the lights on is an act of defiance for Josiah and Tân. He goes on to state that they're well aware that they could be shut down and/or arrested every day. He says they get harassing phone calls from time to time, in fact.   We end the episode with Josiah's thoughts about our theme on Storied: San Francisco this season—Keep It Local.   Medicine for Nightmares 3036 24th Street Sunday 12-9pm / Monday 12:30-9 pm Tuesday–Thursday 12:30-10pm Friday 12:30-11pm Saturday 12-11pm @medicinefornightmares (415) 824-1761   Photography by Mason J.

The episode covers key aspects of competition law in India, focusing on the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) approach to mergers and anti-competitive practices. The CCI scrutinizes deals where combined market shares exceed 30-40%, particularly among competitors, but has never blocked a transaction since the merger control regime began in 2011. Indian law generally treats companies and their subsidiaries as a single economic entity, except in bidding markets where group companies must avoid sharing sensitive information. The conversation highlights India's evolving competition law, drawing from mature jurisdictions while tailoring rules for the local market. Foreign investors are typically well-informed about Indian competition laws, aligning with approval processes and rules. The evolving legal landscape is seen as an exciting time for competition law practitioners in India.Our GuestVaibhav ChoukseVaibhav is a Partner in the Firm's Competition Law Practice with over 16 years of experience. He has been practicing competition law since its inception in India, specializing in complex litigation, and merger control, advising clients across diverse industries.

He has successfully defended global auto-component manufacturers, a multiplex operator, and a leading paper manufacturer in cartel cases. He currently advises major players in the seed, pharmaceutical, cement, and financial sectors in ongoing cartel and vertical restraint investigations. In abuse of dominance matters, he represents Hyundai and Ford in India's first auto-parts aftermarket abuse case and FabHotels in India's first MFN case against MakeMyTrip and OYO. He also represented Nuziveedu Seeds in its abuse of dominance case against Monsanto before the CCI and Delhi High Court. He is also involved in constitutional and procedural challenges to CCI investigations before various High Courts. Recently, he secured a stay on the CCI's investigation against sellers on a leading e-commerce platform from various High Courts.In merger control, he has secured approvals for complex transactions, including ONGC/ NTPC/ Ayana Renewable, Del Monte/ Agro Tech Foods, Coforge/Cigniti, BPEA EQT/Indira/ HDFC Credila, Temasek/Manipal Hospitals, KKR/Hero Future Energies, IBM/Kyndryl, TVS Group restructuring, Ford/Mahindra, Goldman Sachs/ReNew Power (SPAC), and Trafigura/Essar Oil.A prolific author and speaker, Vaibhav contributes to leading competition law journals and newspapers and frequently speaks at industry forums.

How to negotiate better loan terms and manage lender relationships? We will also cover top lessons learned at the latest conference and evens, and what is the current state of the market?Read this interview here: https://tinyurl.com/yf53zdpuLessons LearnedSome of the Dollar Stores that closed are now selling in bankruptcy for a huge discount.There are so many ways you can partner up with people, you can do a JV (joint venture) with owners who have a lot of dark real estate (such as Dollar stores that are closing). Dark retail is a retail store that still has a lease but they have decided to close doors, they are still responsible for rent, but having a dark retail in your center isn't good for your other tenants, so you would want to have that property filled again. What can you convert that to?You can partner up with cities, ask the city what do they need, offer to buy the land at $1/sf, offer to pay starting on year 3-10 when the property is ready or fully stabilized, get funds from them or breaks in fees.If you need a capital partner, there are capital market intermediaries that can help you find family offices or a construction loan, I spoke with a couple of people that did that a while ago and as far as I recall, their fees are around 2-2.5%.When you raise a fund, the real estate fund management fee is 1.5-2% of the committed capital.Don't give special terms such as MFN unless an investor is committing a minimum of 25% of the deal. A “Most Favored Nation” clause gives a party the legal right to terms and benefits under the contract that are as good as or more favorable than the terms and benefits received by anyone else who enters into a similar contract with the other party.After webinar let them know you have the next week open for any questions they may have, this builds trust and helps them move forward.Loans and Lenders:You must pick up 5-6 new lenders a year.Meet all of your lenders yearly, give them a report with your PFS (personal financial statement), show all property owned, how they have performed, share your mistakes and lessons learned, share the vision for the company, be proactive, present the business plan, how have you operated the assets.After a loan is done, the lenders get a 2 week update, then it becomes quarterly. Send pictures, and show how are you doing vs pro forma.Negotiate on loan unforeseen costs, stick with your needs even if you may lose that lender.Negotiate that if you hit x percentage value increase, the lender gives the loan at x interest rate.Agency debt is non recourse, and credit unions are great.Don't give any personal guarantees, the bigger you go, the less common it is for them to ask for a personal guarantee, lots of co-GP family offices can help and will show their balance sheet. You will need to have some guarantor for carve outs only.We must negotiate debt to the ground, LTC is currently at 50%, don't do variable rate.We must read all pages of the loan docs and comment, edit, someone I know has made as many as 500 comments. You must have other banks lined up first they say no. Also, put a homestead exemption on all of your loan documents so they can't take your home in case things go south, and make sure that they're not removing any of your constitutional rights.What topics should I cover next?

It's a fun, Vampire themed crafting survival action combat game. Diablo Season 4: Loot Reborn is now live and is seemingly doing very well and players are really liking the updates. We have Diablo regulars in there checking it out and I'm sure they can offer help and guidance to anyone looking to jump back in. Other Nomads stuff is happening this week in Fallout 76, ARK, and Starfield as well. WoW Noob Raid successfully cleared Timewalking Ulduar, and congrats to two players for obtaining the rare mounts Invincible and Mimiron's Head. Aside from Noob Raid, the excitement is all about Remix: Mists of Pandaria, a limited time, speed leveling event that launched Thursday for Retail WoW. Quite a few players have reached level 70 already and are working on more toons while gathering numerous transmog items, mounts and pets. Many alts! Handle it! The characters can join current guilds but won't be on live servers until the new expansion, The War Within. AIE opened our second Alliance guild, Amicitia, to make room for the new alts. A few people had trouble pronouncing the guild name, so it's now known as Amy. Welcome Amy! WoW Classic See Game Notes SWTOR This past week was Rakghoul week and if that means nothing to you, just picture swtor's version of zombies. There is no cure, we just have to kill them. A lot. Including a giant one with no eyes that we managed to dispatch on Tuesday during MFN. The double xp event is over, but it's still a good time to level as it's basically pretty quick in this game. For tips, join us in discord. There is a lot of chatter about the best/most-fun way to do things. Friday fun happened on Shae Vizla server this week where we knocked out some Uprisings and Heroic weeklies. Next week,

#261 Can Demanding Price Parity Harm Competition? The MFN Paradox

Our Curious Amalgam

When are MFNs good and when are they bad? A "most favored nation" (MFN) price requirement ensures that a buyer receives the lowest price that a seller is offering to other buyers. Under U.S. antitrust law, such MFNs are typically viewed as a procompetitive outcome of price bargaining between parties. But recently, the use of MFNs by Amazon's internet retailing platform has been challenged as an anticompetitive business practice. In this episode, Alicia Downey and Barry Nigro talk to economist Tasneem Chipty about the potential competition concerns raised by MFNs generally and platform MFNs specifically. Listen and learn in what circumstances most favored nation requirements might raise antitrust red flags.

We are looking forward to the next DLC remaster coming in the next couple months. Rust is spun back up as well and a group in there is trying out the new features including more automation and even the ability to tie notifications of in-game activities to your phone. Palworld launch this week and is pretty hot at the moment. The pitch is "ARK survival but with Pokemon instead of dinos... and the Pokemon can have guns" There may be a private group server being spun up for this depending on interest. WoW See Game Notes We have successfully killed the Lich King! There are a few raid members who still need that kill, so we shall continue to kill him until everyone has the title. Waiting for further word on when we are looking at a Cata release. Season of Discovery gets the next band to 40 starting on Feb 8th, I believe. WoW Classic We have successfully killed the Lich King!

The current challenge is Pet Pics, but Gusty is asking for AIE members to share their Cosplay, Collections, computer desks, transmog/glamour and anything they are doing with Guild groups. (Tabards and banners encouraged.) LOTRO In March of this year we returned to Carn Dum in Update 35. Carn Dum, as the capital of Angmar, along with Urugarth (a nearby fortress) were two of the early 'world instances' in the game. Now Carn Dum has been redesigned using new tech and art. It remains a city of fell magic, evil men, and restless spirits. But now has a quest hub and instance cluster. In May we received Update 36 "Gondor Renewed". Summoned to Gondor by King Elessar and Queen Arwen, we are to head South and aid in the reconstruction, but beware the Heirs of Castamir, and the influence of Umbar. But now for the big news. Our very own Maellung has joined the ranks of the LOTROStream. It's official, he's official! You may ask, 'what is the LOTROStream, precious'? Well, you fool of a River-Hobbit, it's the official live stream of The Lord of the Rings Online! Congrats Maellung! GW2 The Guild Wars 2 division has been abiding. MFN runs weekly and the monthly Dungeons and More night is still going strong. Over the past year during Dungeons and more nights we have done a variety of stuff from world boss hunting to helping members with their personal story to fractals and yes even running some dungeons. For Summer of Love, we will have a Remembrance Day gathering, Dungeons and More night, and the usual MFN on Monday night. We are eagerly waiting for the first expansion in the new yearly format, Secrets of the Obscure.
