The EPIC Blog has moved

 

Hello, denizens of the internet and more importantly, EPIC Ipswich's most fantastic patrons. Those that have been in the store over the past 3 weeks, would have seen the drastic changes in the renovations. Accompanying our new til systems, our new menu, some behind-the-scenes business stuff and the website is getting a revamp. 

More on that last note - it does, unfortunately, mean that the blog side of the website had to relocate due to the number of increasing web pages, it meant that our website was running slower and slower with every post (gotta love bandwidth). I am actively working on the issue but didn't want to give up on my dream of one day making it into the big leagues of internet blogging. I'm joking, let's face facts, there is no way on this planet I could get a cooler job than what I have now. I am also not just saying that because the Benevolent Owners haven't signed my adoption papers yet and I am trying to buy my way into their good graces with compliments and flattery. 


What does EPIC's blog moving change?

Literally only the website domain and a slightly different layout. All the old articles have already been transferred to Blogger with the same images and attachments. Slight changes in metadata (old links to articles may not work for the time being). For us at EPIC it means we can give you a fun and more engaging Website with a higher QoS (quality of service).

It also means that there'll be more opportunities for user engagement, now all you need is a google account to be able to comment and interact with us. This also better helps us future proof some upcoming projects I fear not being able to share but without confirming or denying, it may involve video streaming and more MP4 on social media platforms and Youtube....


From all of us at EPIC we would like to thank you all, our beloved community, for your ongoing support as we continue to change and grow our business with you at the heart of it.

Your friend and Ally,
Lachy

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Star Wars Legion joins the Ipswich Tabletop Association

  Thursday nights at EPIC Ipswich are arguably the busiest in terms of customer and distribution. We house Yu-Gi-Oh!, Star Wars Legion, Magic the Gathering Modern, some private D&D Games and the Ipswich Tabletop Association (ITA). The later mostly specialising in Warhammer (40k, Age of Sigma and now Horus Heresy). After sharing space for ages, the ITA and Legion community have decided for mutual benefit in merging.  The ITA is a community and social group of Tabletop Wargamers that love Warhammer to the point they create their own terrain and purchase maps for their members to use. With the joining of Star Wars Legion, both groups can now share resources to the benefit of both communities.  On the surface to the general public, this shouldn't change much. Behind the scenes it makes managing the community of war gamers more streamlined for EPIC, reducing the amount of backwards and forwards to communicate to the separate communities. If you're interested in learning to...
