Time for more Star Wars: The Old Republic info! This time around, Joanna Berry, a writer for SW:TOR talks about the thought process that went into crafting the Jedi Consular. Perhaps the most revealing piece of information when it comes to the storyline of the Jedi Consular comes from Joanna herself when she notes that:

SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS has posted a "creator's message" on their twitter from Mr. Tanaka, producer of FFXIV. They asked him about the FFXIV beta test.

”Beta tester selection will take place a number of times in short succession. After beta starts, we will be narrowing down the candidates. If you aren't chosen the first time, don't fret! You still have a chance."

The Secret Bonus Stage at VanaFest2010 came and went before we knew it, but it is by far the one part of the show that I am most asked about.  It was a section of VanaFest that was meant as an exclusive for the attendees, and as such, we were explicitly told that no photos could be taken during the movie.

Taverncraft has just announced that they have partnered with Mythic Entertainment to bring genuine hand-crafted fine-grain stoneware steins in the theme of Mythic's Warhammer Online to fans in May 2010. These steins are specifically designed for the two factions in Warhammer Online, with the Order of the Griffon (Order) and the Raven Host (Destruction) collection steins, which feature exclusive artowkr by Michael Phillippi and Eric Polak, respectively.

You stand on the bluff and stare across the steel-grey waters, ten thousand miles from where your journey began, about to overthrow another tyrant."

 BioWare has a long history of producing kick-ass RPGs. With recent hits like Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, and older games like Baulder’s Gate and Knights of The Old Republic, it’s hard to argue with their success. MMOGs are a different beast altogether though, and many obstacles lay ahead for BioWare if they hope to bring any of the roleplaying elements they are famous for to Star Wars The Old Republic.
