It Is Getting Real

Anticipation is palpable, people are twitchy, guild server tweets are starting to show up, new game excitement is running wild! Really hoping our new MMO home will be a blast. Considering the nod to Mass Effect, how could you not love a server name of The Harbinger?!...

Why Smugglers Are So Cool

We can thank Han Solo for being such a wonderful inspiration for an iconic class in Star Wars: The Old Republic. That scruffy-looking, nerf-herding scoundrel is the reason why the first class I am going to play in SWTOR is going to be so much fun. I just know I'm...
