The Electronics Entertainment Expo 2009 is finally here and as it is arguably the most important couple of days of the year for the video game industry, is it too much to pray for an enormous announcement for TOR.  I think not! Now certainly E3 traditionally focuses mainly on console games, but with the official Smuggler announcement coming this week, we know that Bioware is hard at work on TO... more.

A recent interview in Edge Magazine with Bioware's director of The Old Republic, James Ohlem, confirms one more class to the ever growing rerepertoire.  The Interview confirmed the much anticipated (at least for me) Smuggler class, and it even confirmed the Smugglers starting planet as Ord Mantell, their recently announced planet.  As Ord Mantell is a world of enormous criminal empires that cont... more.

With this past Friday came yet another addition to the repertoire of Bioware and Darkhorse's "Threat Of Peace" comic series, making it issue # 7 in the Treaty of Coruscant act. First lets get to the meat of the comic: This issue mainly follows the two Sith lords, Lord Baras, and Lord Angral,who were at the scene on the attack on Coruscant early in issues 1, 2, and 3. The issue opens up with ... more.

Hey all, This past Friday came a huge bit of information...the Trooper class.  A long awaited, and somewhat expected, class has been officially announced on Bioware's website as well as several new bits of screenshots, concept art, and wallpaper.  As Bioware describes it, the Trooper class is very similar to what one would imagine from your classic "heavy weapons guy" with big guns and heavy ... more.

This last issue of Threat of Peace introduces a character that is clearly a Bounty Hunter, which is appropriate considering that they just announced the Bounty Hunter class a couple of weeks ago.  The Bounty Hunter, named Braden, is on Dantooine tracking the wookiee, Dalborra who works for the Imperial Army. The Bounty Hunter, who is being employed by the Republic, is told to abort his contrac... more.

I spent this past Friday anxiously clicking on "Refresh" in my browser window on http://www.swtor.com just waiting for the new news to be posted as it has been for the past couple of Fridays.  But to my sorrow there was no news on Friday, nor on Saturday, not Sunday either, and here we are on Monday with no new news to speak of. Now as disappointed as I am that there is no news for me to write... more.

Last Friday bought us a new issue of Bioware, and Darkhorse comic's "Threat of Peace" and with it, the announcement of a new planet in the Old Republic's universe. Ord Mantell, the Mid-Rim planet with regions of volcanic islands and mountainous plains, is alligned with the Republic officially, however, as stated on the info page for Ord Mantell, "despite the planet's status as a critical R... more.

Today on Bioware's developer's blog, they announced many important details about their recent unveiling of the Bounty Hunter Class.  In this lengthy blog post, the developer also clarified some points on how their game is going to work out. One of the more important points in the blog post is the fact that, initially, Bounty Hunters are only going to be available for the Sith Empire.  After t... more.

Last Friday, March 20, 2009, Bioware officially and overtly announced the Bounty Hunter as a playable class in The Old Republic.  In addition to a bunch of information came a slew of videos, screen shots, concept art,  and wallpaper that we will soon be adding to our galleries. The class profile on the official site reveals the Bounty Hunter to be, as we know, very dangerous individuals.  Th... more.
