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.
