Doubly-Fantastic Friday!

This Friday we have received two fantastic updates. We learn the identity of the Lord of the Sith from the Deceived trailer and we finally get what we’ve all been waiting for: Race confirmations! There has been a new section added to the HoloNet that includes 6 entries spread across 3 categories – Humanoids, Creatures and Droids.

You first experienced the devastating might of Darth Malgus on the day that changed the galaxy forever during the Sacking of Coruscant. Now you can learn more about the man behind the mask in the latest novel set in the same time period as Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!

If you’ve been waiting for information about the colorful creatures, species, and droids that populate the galaxy, make sure to check out our new HoloNet expansion - Inhabitants! In this section you can find new information and media about the galactic inhabitants that will entertain – and challenge – you in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.

Combat in the Old Republic

It is nice to see a few updates that really spark your interest in TOR again. Furthermore, we get to see the intricate details of the combat in TOR which are very exciting. You can actually see some incredible attention to detail from BioWare in the video such as a Sith Warrior being stunned and their head follows the attacking player. It might not sound like much, but it is really these details that make the game complete.

We’ve talked a lot about how The Old Republic is innovating on storytelling in MMOs, and now we want to share with you how combat in The Old Republic will deliver a new level of excitement for fans. Check out our latest Video Documentary that focuses on Combat to get an inside look at how we’re bringing dynamic Star Wars™ action to life in Star Wars: The Old Republic!

Peace for the Republic?

Interesting, very… very interesting. This is one of the best video documenteries we have seen to date – the only advice that I can offer you is to not miss out on this one.

The centuries immediately preceding the Great War were thought to be one of the most peaceful eras in Republic history. As he dives deeper into the galaxy’s history, Master Gnost-Dural discovers new evidence that suggests the dark influence of the Sith Empire was seeping into the Republic even then. Gnost-Dural’s latest report isolates one historical incident which suggests there was a Sith Lord pulling strings within the ranks of the Jedi decades before the war even began.
