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.

Added.

I will break out the PreLaunch articles more once we see specific interviews/articles on professions, economy, etc.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Might be worth adding the unofficial Old Republic Wiki to the list of links. It's probably the oldest fan site dedicated to the game at all.

My hat is off to you, Baron. Well done. Great Info!

Lo, there do we see our fathers.

Lo, there do we see our mothers.

Lo, there do we see our sisters and our brothers.

The line of our people back to the beginning.

They do call to us to take our places.

Where the brave live forever.
