Don't Be Surprised If You Need a Vacation

Written by Matt "fo diggity"
Ah, vacation! That honored pastime where you take days off from work, travel to a sunny locale, and impotently paw at your pocket for a smartphone that isn't there and wouldn't get reception anyway. That I found myself wondering at all what Star Wars: The Old Republic news I was missing when I should have been entirely focused on the sun and sand (and gin and tonic) tells me just how obsessed I've grown with a game that I haven't even played yet. I therefore find it useful to remind myself that, after TOR is released, I will undoubtedly reach a point where I'll need a break from it as well.

Friday Update: Space Confirmed--AGAIN.

I’ll start this with my apologies on the late update on the news, our site was under a few issues on the back end which prevented new material from being posted properly…but it’s all fixed now. So, the news! The TOROcast team has stated this as a joke many, many, MANY times throughout our forum threads, podcasts and news: Space is OFFICIALLY confirmed. In addition, we have a fan Friday filled with art and the first chapter of Fatal Alliance: The first Star Wars: The Old Republic based book to be released as of yet! Read on for more.

I've already written twice about non-Human species, or "aliens", as playable characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic—once to say selection would be limited and once to say there will be faction-exclusives—but I was struck by the thought that we've really only seen alien player characters assigned to one class per species. Generally, it's not unusual for RPG games to restrict class choice by "race", but it never seemed appropriate to me for Star Wars. I especially dislike the idea that every alien species would be exclusive to only one particular class. Still, I feel it's a possibility worth considering.

The Game Testers Agreement, What You Need to Know

Written by Musco

Welcome to one of the most important articles you will read about Star Wars: The Old Republic prior to the launch of the game. In this article I will spell out for you what you need to know about the Game Testers Agreement. You remember, that legally binding agreement you signed? It is common knowledge that most people won’t read it and will just hit accept. Well, if you are one of those people you better read this article otherwise you might be in for a rude awakening on what exactly you signed. I do still recommend you read the entire Agreement for yourself.

We’re given a glimpse at the Music and Sound of The old Republic, as well as another “issue” of Blood of the Empire! Read more after the break for any notes involed!

Don't Be Surprised If Raids Are Small

Written by Matt "fo diggity"
One of the recent videos released by BioWare was a demo of multiplayer combat in Star Wars: The Old Republic. In this video we see four player characters—one each of the Republic classes—fighting a typical scripted encounter including a mini-boss. After watching this video and trying to imagine the same raid—an instanced dungeon crawl—with 25 player characters and 25 companion characters, I couldn't see it happening. I don't think that such mega-raids are likely in TOR, and that most scripted events will be relatively small.

While at E3 2010 Brandon and I had the chance to sit down and talk with Deborah Shin, Marketing Manager for BioWare, and Rob Cowles, Marketing Manager for Lucas Arts. The first thought through your mind is most likely, "why in gods name would I want to watch an interview with the Marketing Managers for a video game?" Well, the answer to that question is this, Deb and Rob work closely with Sean Dahlberg in picking out what and when something will be released about TOR. The three of them together come up with the weekly updates, and put them through BioWare, Lucas Arts, as well as EA for approval.
