Gamescom Wrap Up |

This post was originally going to be a very long drawn out recap over all the goings on and hubub that occurred over the last week over in Europe and there was a massive amount of it. However it seems that the good ol' folks over at MMORPG.com already have an absolutely solid wrap up and since I've never been one to be too prideful, I would suggest you check them out.
You can find their simply stellar write up here

Jedi Knight Update! Plus MORE!! |

Through years of disciplined training and meditation, the Jedi Knight hones body and mind into perfect harmony. Combining the foresight of the Force with unrivaled reflexes and practiced physical precision, the Knight turns combat into an art form, gracefully executing acrobatic feats in tandem with elegant lightsaber tactics.

YAYYYYYY! There are also several new screenshots up on the Jedi Knight Page as well as a fancy new companion for the jedi knight class here
As with the Sith Warrior update that came out not too long ago, the announcement of the Jedi Knight Specializations came out. The Guardian is looking to fufill the classic melee buffer class of MMOs while the Sentinel will be the dual wielding fanatic who bursts into enemy lines to mercilessly butcher entire armies before they can raise a shield.....in the name of good of course...

Storytelling in SWTOR |
|

In a recent article from Game Informer, GI sat down with Lead Writer for The Old Republic Daniel Erickson to discuss how Bioware is handling their approach to storytelling, plot development, and the characters of the Star Wars Universe.
What makes this equation more compelling is the addition of a morality system – a touchstone aspect of the Knights of the Old Republic game franchise that is transferring to the new MMO. “There is a completely different concept between faction and morality,” Erickson explains. “You can be a Sith that ends up being entirely light side. There is as much flexibility to every class story as what you’d see in any of our full products.” That means you can play as a member of the Sith Empire or the Republic, and pursue a light side or dark side character for either side. “It’s much harder to be a light-side Sith,” Erickson cautions. “You have to work for it.” This approach dramatically expands the potential outcomes of every storyline into branching paths of good and evil.
This is a really great read, be sure to check out the full article here

As I get ready for a weekend of cleaning my apartment and polishing the site, I posted a poll over in the 'Front Desk' area of the forums. You know, for customer service. ;p
http://swtorjunkies.com/forums/front...vertising.html
Let me know what you think (through comments and the poll) about site advertising.
I want to keep this place a community as much as possible. I'm indifferent to more site design issues than you may think! The ads will stay on the front page for obvious reasons, least of which I think they're non-obtrusive and seem to be more relevant than the forum ads. But ads on the forums got in my way this morning which means they may get in your way too.
Discuss!
