This can’t be an addition to Star Wars canon, they have an Asian character!
Another trailer.
Eternity Vault
http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/eternity-vault
“A terrible threat has been uncovered on the ice world of Belsavis; a danger so grave that it could make the conflict between the Republic and the Empire irrelevant. Groups of heroes must band together to venture into the ancient and deadly Eternity Vault—where an enemy older than both the Republic and the Empire has been contained… until now.”

E3 2011: BioWare shows off The Old Republic Belsavis raid (Two videos)

So I hear you DON’T need to be in the MMO to play this game?? I sure hope so…loved the old KOTOR games… but I’m more of a “video game is alone time” person and I wanna play this!
SWTOR is an MMO. You can prolly solo a few levels before grouping becomes necessary to avoid frustrations. That said, I wouldn’t put it past individuals to solo all the way to level cap.
E3 2011: New SWTOR dev walkthrough takes players to Tatooine
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/new-star-wars-the-old-republic-dev-walkthrough-takes-players-to/
Has a nice video included.
sigh I figured…but one of my friends said he saw on E3 that there is a single-person walkthrough available too…and dammit I was hoping!!
That was probably the Kinect Star Wars game being developed for the XBox 360.
Nice pull Jammer!
EA: ‘200 hours of gameplay per class’ in SWTOR
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/06/29/ea-200-hours-of-gameplay-per-class-in-swtor/
“For most single-player video games, eight to 20 hours of gameplay is currently considered “sufficient.” For Star Wars: The Old Republic, those numbers are merely a prologue to the main event.”
That’s easy though. “Go kill 20 swamprats” times 30. d:
Just a random thought here: were the Skywalkers Anakin(pre-Darth), Amidala, Luke & Leia all republican or democrat?

Hard to say. Everyone (except Luke) was rich, believed in bearing arms (heh), freedom of speech, and helping the little guy… Libertarian maybe? (:
Wrong thread for this discussion I think though.
I’m excited for this. My brother more so since he already has his guild created and everything 
I hope it lives up to all the hype and excitement that is all I have to say.
I can’t wait for this game because Drew K is writing it (which why I forgave Bioware for keeping him off of Mass Effect 2) and since he was the mind behind KOTOR it’s gotta be good. I’m also looking forward to the Revan novel that gives background on TOR, especially since TOR is a far better playground than the prequels were IMO.
I just want to know if I’m going to need a new computer, frakking intel and their stupid 3D graphics.
I’d be safe and say yes. Even though the character models and frame rates may not seem like it, the landscape, backgrounds, etc., might.
Nearly six hours and no one posted?

Beta test weekends are set for Star Wars: The Old Republic in September
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/21/beta-test-weekends-are-set-for-star-wars-the-old-republic-in-se/
“If you’re one of the many eager players of Star Wars: The Old Republic jumping all over this morning’s pre-order, there’s more good news on the way. According to TOROcast, an investor report from Electronic Arts shows that the game will be opening up special “beta weekend” events for players to get a glimpse of the game starting in September. This looks like the perfect opportunity for players to start jumping in and playing in advance of the launch date (which presumably would not be until at least a little after September, naturally).”

I did my preorder yesterday.
Oh I’ll be preordering this one as soon as I get out of Alaska back home to my real computer. Origin’s website wasn’t so friendly from an iPad. :rolleyes:
