Tales From TOR - Bye For Now

Hey Everyone,
We wanted to thank everyone that has taken the time to visit this site.  We loved working on it while following the creation of the game Star Wars: The Old Republic.

We're still playing the game and spending as much time in the Star Wars Universe BioWare has created.  While we have some issues with content, ships, and guild functions, we know the game is just going to improve from this point out.

BioWare we have faith and look forward to all the work you have going on for the game.

So from TALES FROM TOR! Good bye for now.  Hopefully one day we can return to blogging about this great game.

TOR Hangout Update and R2!

Everyone loves R2-D2!! And the community has received the idea of the 'Tor Hangout' very well!! So why not combine both!?!?!

When you have time head on over to R2-DB sign-up for an account and start to follow the TOR Hangout!

You can also follow the TOR Hangout through these other sites:
TOR Hangout on Google +
TOR Hangont out Youtube.com

Also checkout the most recent episode!!  TOR Hangout 11 - Troll-b-Gone Coming to a Forums Near You!

It's probably the best and only community drive product for SWTOR!  We love it.  The show is live on Monday's at 7:30 BioWare time.  You can catch the feed on good old Twitch.tv.

12 Day Grudge Match

Yes YES ... we know its been a long time since our last post.  The beta, work, and well Christmas, has had us pinned down. 

But finally - we have time, motivation, and well something.... damn cool. 

GameBreak.tv - Does the 12 days of Christmas



And well its pure comedy.  After watching we honestly did not feel it was sligted towards either game.  Just a good bash on both.  Great humor.  Thanks GameBreaker! 



TOR Hangout 8 - Beta Weekend Withdrawals

For those interested in a community based TOR show checkout the TOR Hangout!  It's a small crew from the G+ SWTOR community that get together every Monday and talk about SWTOR.  The event is run by the GM from Redeemed.  The hangout also includes other people from the community to voice their opinion.  If you're interested in attending checkout the G+ page for the TOR Hangout.

This weeks show reviews the highlights the most recent beta weekend without crossing over the NDA too much.  They also cover the new book from Drew, the Trooper vs Inquisitor, and other great subjects.

If you have time check it out!!! We love it.

BioWare Hates Thanksgiving

We have been thinking about shutting down the site given our lack of content updates.  But after seeing the latest news from BioWare via Twitter, Facebook, forums posts, other news sites, and an email from some guys mom that was clearly not intended for us.... we had to post about it.

Where is everyone!?! ...oh playing SWTOR

We are targeting November 25-28 for our upcoming Beta Testing Weekend – our biggest testing weekend yet! If you haven’t got your code already, pick one up from the sites listed in this news article!

Well that's just crazy and awesome for those that have not played this game.  So basically anyone that wants to play is going to get their chance.  Those that played last weekend are probably wanting more.  For those that get to play JUST AFTER THANKSGIVING (more on that later) will have that fresh hook inserted into them for this game.

It's pure genius!!  Blizzard did something similar with their open beta just prior to the launch of WoW.  Everyone got the chance... they enjoyed it and all wanted more.

And to top off this marketing move.... they're going to destroy Thanksgiving and Christmas.  They want people to play just after Thanksgiving and before Christmas!!! OH THOSE EVIL EVIL PEOPLE!!!!  Two great American holidays TROLLED by the power of StarWars and BioWARE!!!  gg BioWare GG.

TOR Hangout 6 - Epic Beards

TOR Hangout is a weekly round table discussion held on Google+ We use the G+ Hangout feature to get together and talk about Star Wars The Old Republic...

The Hangout is hosted by the GM of Redeemed an up and coming RP guild on the West Coast. They have 70+ members strong.

That latest episode is of course Halloween themed with the girls dressed up looking great and the guys sporting some epic beards! And one cowboy.

The show dives into the most recent PvP update from BioWare, Q&A, and even a special question from Mr Zoller himself.

It's a great show with a strong community presence.

The Republic.... PvP Episode 63

Following up from BioWare's PvP Friday - The Republic's latest episode reviews the Voidstar and other PvP elements from SWTOR.

They have a special guest from their Rift series Ed “Taugrim” Park from "The Sanctum".  Ed has a great deal of experience playing PvP in Rift and other games.  And it was refreshing to get perspective from someone that has not been on the show before.

Larry Skywalker

Welcome once again to a galaxy far, far away! Gamebreaker.TV hyperjumps its way from the Star Wars: The Old Republic universe to your living room. This totally wizard episode features guest host Ed “Taugrim” Park from The Sanctum. Of course, our regular hosts Gary Gannon, Justin Lowe, and Larry Everett all weight in on today’s topic of PvP.

If you have time checkout the show.  These guys do a great job and are always interesting to follow.  It's probably one of the better SWTOR productions out there today.
