With a tentative release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of the things I felt was incredibly important for all players was to have a firm grasp of the story.

The news, in a nutshell, was that they were going to be holding back on any big releases for the next f... more.

For those that have been following TOR Universe for a while know that one of the biggest things I am looking forward to in Star Wars: The Old Republic is the immense story. There is so much information that we have really not had the liberty of witnessing that every time something comes out, I suck it up. For example, when the Timeline video was released on Friday, I immediately had to watch it ab... more.

On Friday, BioWare released the next update in the Timeline saga where Master Gnost-Dural went into detail about the complete onslaught of the Sith Empire when they first appeared to invade the Republic.

Over the past couple of months, Bioware has been releasing small portions of gameplay footage, giving the rest of the world a good idea of how TOR will play, and what it will look like towards the time of it's release.  As far as gameplay style goes, it looks like the game will behave very similarly to most other MMO's, combining real time combat with background dice rolls.  With the new gamepla... more.
