While I thought that they had released all of their planets for their release, apparently BioWare has a lot more planned. They announced today that Nar Shaddaa will be a playable area in the game. For those that don't know, Nar Shaddaa is the moon of Hutta and therefore, is very close to the planet. It is a rich and glamorous, yet gruesome place controlled by the Hutts. To give a better idea of th... more.

Despite the fact the community was unable to get 30,000 people to follow SWTOR on Twitter and to get the hundreds of thousands of needed likes on Facebook, much was revealed today at the "Crafting the Multiplayer Story" at Comic-Con San Diego. And, as I was able to predict, the biggest thing people have been wondering about Star Wars: The Old Republic was revealed today. There will be space combat... more.

BioWare and Dark Horse released issue 7 of the Blood of the Empire series on Friday and, as always, it is quite an enjoyable. But, I am incredibly biased--I intend on owning every issue of the comics as they are released in comic book form. So, I might not be a good person to listen to, but when it comes to the comics, they just seem really awesome. The description given to this comic is as fol... more.

And so the rumors were true! The game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic has begun. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how there were rumors that the testing had already begun--and it is quite possible that it had--but now BioWare released an update saying that testing was, in fact, underway. While we all knew this somewhere inside, now it is confirmed. What I am finding very interesting about... more.

One of the topics that people have been talking about a lot on the SWTOR forums is what the end game is. At this point, we don't really know anything about the end game, but INC Gamers had an interview with James Ohlen, the lead designer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. While he doesn't reveal details on the end game, that doesn't mean that we should be worried. According to Ohlen, they have a ... more.

In today's news, BioWare released a demo from E3, but this time, there were no interruptions by G4TV. The demo does give viewers a nice appreciation of what combat looks like in the game, but also shows what four players working together can do. What this video provided was a bit of a better understanding on how the four classes would act together. The single most important thing that I saw was t... more.

In a write up posted on Gamasutra, and other blogs around the web, it was revealed that BioWare and LucasArts had chosen Monolith Software for its core monitoring and management of the web servers. This is incredible news that leads some to believe that BioWare is right on track to reach their target release date for The Old Republic. Monolith offers BioWare the chance to "visualize their busin... more.

After an amazing week with E3, on Friday, Sean found time to release the latest issue of Blood of the Empire and, remarkably, talked to us for a bit about what was going on in regard to the wrap up for E3 2010. First, we'll look at the comic. Blood of the Empire: Issue Five Issue five of Blood of the Empire was released on Friday and had this little tidbit of information to go along with it. In... more.

According to Hillary Stone at IGN, we've got two things that will be appearing in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The first is space travel and the second is customization to both your space ship as well as your PvP armor, gear and everything else. Information that people have been dying for is finally out. I was right about PvP appearing a little at E3 and I knew there would be space flight mentione... more.

In another Timeline series, we get to witness information that, for many passionate Star Wars gamers--specifically in the realm of Knights of the Old Republic--is old information that really isn't all that important. But, the release makes complete sense considering E3 is right around the corner. There is going to be a huge influx of people checking out SWTOR.com, so a simple Timeline makes good s... more.
