The Old Republic: Rebooted Blog Real life always seems to find a way to suck more time than you expect it to, but despite the hiatus, I figured it was time to get busy again with the blog as it is becoming more and more evident that The Old Republic is nearing release. A suggestion was made that instead of talking about features or videos, the best thing to do is talk about what really interests me with The Old Republic, and that maybe it would give someone who has had little ...
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.

I’ve been debating sitting down and starting a blog for weeks now but I kept coming up with random excuses. I wanted to make sure it was something I’d commit my time to on a regular basis, and that it would actually have something worth taking your time to come and read. Right now, we are a very Rift focused guild and I don’t want to take anything away from that, but it’s also a good time to start talking about what I think will be the next big thing in the MMO genre, and for Aureus Knights. ...
