With the announcement of the Old Republic MMO, information will be coming in fast and furious from multiple sources and sites until launch. It can get frustrating trying to keep up with it all, so I would like to centralize it to this forum. If you find a link, site, etc of some SW:TOR updates, let me know and I will add it to the list.
When the game launches, I will change it to include guides, walkthroughs and game info for all to use.
