Just a little reminder for all the TOR fans that PAX is starting today. It won’t be around until much later in the day so we should expect a late Friday update that will be taken straight from PAX. The event will be running from the 3rd to the 5th of September so we can expect some very juicy updates for the next few days!
We’ve been speculating in our forums on what information we might learn from PAX, read the rest of this entry to see our thoughts.

Gamescom is a games event that takes place every year in Cologne, Germany. This year they had 254,000 visitors and 505 exhibitors from 33 different countries. This will also be the last major games event before the release of TOR, and featured a fully playable version of the game, which was open to members of the public for the first time. This, combined with James Ohlen (Lead Designer) and Daniel Erickson (Lead Writer) being present to give interviews, meant we received some of the most detailed insights into the game yet. I’ve broken down some of the key things we learned into sections, to give an overall review of the event.

The Jedi Knight class has had a nice update on the holonet. For me personally, this dispels some of the belief amongst the community about bias towards the Sith side in marketing and the releases we have seen so far. The JK update has been released with a short video that actually makes the class look pretty epic to play.
As part of our ongoing class updates, we are thrilled to confirm the Advanced Classes for the valiant Jedi Knight – Guardian and Sentinel! Whether you want to defend the weak and inspire your allies to amazing feats as a Guardian or learn the art of using two Lightsabers simultaneously to create an intricate web of damage as a Sentinel, the Advanced Class system in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will help you customize your character. Check out the Jedi Knight section on the HoloNet for more information! Check out the media section to see a new video of the Jedi Knight in action, and download some never-before-seen screenshots!
Welcome to all browsers, in this short article I will go over some of the things that have changed on the site and how we’ve improved everything from our design to the strength of our community!
An all new design
Both the website and forum have gone through a complete redesign, making both elements much brighter and easier to read but retaining a Star Wars character through the backgrounds and logos. I would like to take this time to thank our Art Director and Special Tactical Commander, Williang – for all his hard work on the background of both the website and forum.
New, more detailed pages
We have added some new pages and changed the content in the old ones to make the website overall a lot more interesting and informative. The new pages that I would like to feature in this article is the Media category and all its sub-pages: Images, Videos and Guild Creations. Although we don’t have a whole lot of content in them yet, it will grow and hopefully become very interesting indeed.
Member articles
Our members will finally get a chance to learn the ropes of writing for the main website and will write news posts, features and we may even have some monthly columns! This feature will take some time to implement officially but it it should be out in the not too distant future.
Forum
We have added a chatbox to the forum, allowing all members that are online at the same time to communicate easier. In addition, we now have a “quick reply” feature added to the forum along with the new design.
