I started playing Path of Exile at the start of 2014 amidst the Nemesis and Domination leagues. At the time I was in high school and would often look at free to play games on Steam. Eventually I found Path of Exile which has become a constant enjoyment in my life. Through good times and bad, through awesome leagues and less amazing leagues, I could always come back to Path of Exile as something to escape with. While playing I heard that some players had been able to help design their own uniques, and even a mob. I thought that was such a cool thing, especially for a game I lov... Read more

Thank you so much for inviting me! My name is Deni but, you might know me as denipon! I stream Path of Exile over on twitch.tv/denipon almost everyday!

It still took some time before I fully got into Path of Exile, but I remem... Read more

We are currently planning to launch our next Path of Exile expansion in early April. You may note that this means that The Forbidden Sanctum challenge league will be longer than normal. We are currently tinkering with a few ideas for some fun low-key things we can do in the final month before 3.21 launches and will let you know how those ideas shake out in the coming weeks.

We have chosen this date so that we can make sure 3.21 gets all the development time it needs and that our release schedule for the year fits nicely alongside ExileCon and... Read more
