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.

It appears that the Timeline videos that are being published once every month and a half are actually going backwards rather than forwards. So, the Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant is the most recent event and we are now going back in time. We pick up to the point before the Treaty of Courscant where there is a tremendous blockade on Coruscant. The people are starving and are starting to panic. The... more.

Another release of Threat of Peace brings more information about what's going on during The Old Republic era of Star Wars. Looking at it, you've got to admit that things are really starting to get heated up and are really getting exciting. We'll take a look at each page and what stands out the most from it. First and foremost, when looking at the first page, it's apparent that our friend the Tr... 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.

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.

Alright, alright, I understand that this is old news and I look like a total n00b for posting it now rather than a couple of weeks ago when it popped up, but when I found this new, I had to post it. For those of you that don't know who Drew Karpyshyn is, let me fill you in on who he is, what he has done, and what he might be able to bring to the SWTOR team. If you're not as excited as I am after r... more.

Another Friday brings another release of more of the BioWare/Dark Horse comic, Threat of Peace. Once again, I am really excited about the release because there is so much now going on in the game that just makes me tremendously happy. Granted, we don’t know how much of this information is actually going to make it into the game, but what we can come to the conclusion of is that this game is goin... 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.
