The time that we have all been waiting for is upon us. In a presentation in London, Doctors Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic will release to the world in December. Specifically, North America will see it on December 20th and the European territories will see it two days later on December 22nd. Along with the information about the release date, which in and ... more.

Coming on the tail of the announcement of pre-ordering, EA and BioWare announced today that they are finally getting ready for their beta which can only mean that the game is in the beginning stages of release. According to a press release posted this morning, The Old Republic will “open Beta Test Weekends” starting this September. These weekend play sessions will be open to selected player... more.

The time has come, my fellow TOR fans, for us to pre-order the game that we have all been waiting for. Since December of 2008—albeit with a few breaks in between—I’ve watched and waited, hungry for information as to when this game would come out. And now it seems, we’ve finally reached that point. According to a press release released by EA, and quite a few ads popping up on a bunch of ... more.

Whenever there are rumors of a release date, I have to take them with a grain of salt. And, obviously, for good reason. Someone could say "release date" and fans are all over it. I know I get that way whenever I hear the inkling of a release date. According to some reports, Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released right around Christmas. That would be its last chance to get it released by 2... more.

As we all know based on what I predicted months ago and based on what Drew said on his blog, he has been commissioned to write a Star Wars: The Old Republic novel that will, if all goes according to plan, be released right around when the game is released. Before today, all we knew about the book was that it was about Revan and what happened after the end of Knights of the Old Republic. Conside... more.

Since the announcement of companions, I have been hardcore excited about them. And, I have been a huge supporter of them being an integral part of the game. They provide an interesting twist to the story of Star Wars: The Old Republic and, more importantly, they require us to work even harder to make the correct choices. But, one of the things that was really interesting and important was their... more.

Despite the rumors going around the blogosphere that TOR won't be released until the Fall--when even the CEO of EA said Spring--we are moving forward with the updates. While this isn't a Friday morning update, despite the fact I am posting it on Friday, I feel a two for one is always exciting. Last night, GameSpot exclusively released another flashpoint on a previously unknown planet, Taral V. ... more.

At E3 2010, we learned a lot about what PvP was going to be like in Star Wars: The Old Republic. While I dubbed it a battlezone, a video was released that showed what a little bit of the warzone combat is going to be like. The video, as you'll notice, is posted before. Regardless, I wanted to go into detail about what it appears is going to be happening in these PvP areas. One of the things tha... more.

In this world, there are three types of people. The first is the type of person that fights for their job, wanting to ensure that they keep it. The other is the type of person who just gives up and walks away. And the third type is the person who whines and complains rather than doing something productive. Today, allow me to talk a bit about that third one. According to a supposed ex-EA/Mythic ... more.

As the title suggests, there is going to be a Star Wars: The Old Republic novel #3. There is no title. The author is known. Actually, the author is incredibly well known. For those that have read the Darth Bane novels or the Mass Effect novels, you know that Drew Karpyshyn is an incredible writer. And, with the third TOR novel slated for release in November 2011, all I can say is, "FINALLY!" Wh... more.
