I love PvP In the two and half years since The Old Republic has been announced there hasn’t been a topic that I’ve wanted information on more than PvP. My obsession began in Ultima Online, followed me into Dark Age of Camelot, again into Star Wars Galaxies, and then eventually into World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online. In fact, PvP is a benchmark for me, something that defines if I will be able to get into a game or not. My foray into Rift was cut short for a variety of reasons, ...

The Old Republic did not start dropping good info until the very end of the week, as an embargo dropped allowing Fan Sites and press to start talking about their recent experience at Immersion Days.

This isn’t just the radical statement to draw people in (although it is to a degree) I genuinely believe that the Sith “Evil Empire” makes for a far more rewarding, and interesting style of play. Talk about a tough sell around here! Many RPG’s subscribe to the “White Knight” formula, where ...

Since I put up my first blog in the SWTOR series, the question that has really cropped up, is: “So how close to World of Warcraft is The Old Republic anyhow?” It is inevitable that The Old Republic is going to be compared to World of Warcraft. WoW is simply the benchmark game in the genre that most people have played, and just about everyone knows at least something about.
