As much as I know there is a subsection of gamers who want nothing more than for The Old Republic to be down and out so they can justify kicking it over and over, I have bad news for you: According to an earnings call by Electronic Arts, The Old Republic has not only grown exponentially [...]

The Old Republic Introduces Cathar Race
April 29th, 2013 
Omali Star Wars: The Old Republic continues chugging along with new content updates. With update 2.1, players will be able to customize their looks at the new Appearance Designer Kiosk. Players will be able to change the look of their eye color, body type, hair style, and are even able to recolor their armor. What’s more, [...]
The Old Republic Closing Asia Pacific Servers
March 26th, 2013 Omali In their attempt to respond to ongoing community concerns, Bioware asked players on the Asia Pacific servers what they wanted to do about low population issues. Rather than merge the three APAC servers down to one, given that each represents a different playset (PvP, PvE, RP-PvE), the decision has been made to merge each server [...]
The Old Republic 2.0 Condenses Commendation Tokens
February 23rd, 2013 Omali In my personal book of stuff, commendations and their ilk have generally leaned toward the side of useless. Ignoring how useful they actually are once you hit that mythical creature I have heard of but never seen, often called “end game,” the commendations you receive on the actual leveling path can range from highly useful [...]
MMOrning Shots: Exhausting Pipe
February 17th, 2013 Omali That piece on the chest plate looks like it might be some sort of coolant system, but it’s actually an Old Republic George Foreman grill for cooking up a grilled cheese sandwich on the run. Bounty Hunters have to eat too. MMOrning Shots is a (mostly) daily compilation of random screenshots from MMOs played by the MMO [...]
The Old Republic Introduces Pay-By-Phone In Select Countries
February 13th, 2013 Omali My credit card is like a third kidney to me, or a second ab, or a third stomach. Always attached, never without function. That being said, some people still prefer to pay for their game purchases via phone, and a good number of MMOs have systems in place to accommodate this. Bioware is the latest to join [...]
The Old Republic Grandfathers In Character Locks
January 8th, 2013 Omali Bioware has launched patch 1.6.2, bringing with it all sorts of bug fixes, balance changes, and miscellaneous changes. Chief amongst the updates in the patch notes is the revelation that Bioware will now be enforcing character slot restrictions. Why now, after all this time? That’s not important. What is important is that free players are restricted to [...]
SWTOR State of the Game Confirms New Content, Same Sex Relationships
January 2nd, 2013 Omali Executive Producer Jeff Hickman has posted a State of the Game on the Old Republic official website, outlining how Bioware plans on implementing some much-requested features in the coming few months. Spring 2013 sees the launch of The Old Republic’s first expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, and the community is still seeing a rise [...]
The Old Republic First Expansion: Rise of the Hutt Cartel
December 18th, 2012 Omali Players are able to take on the first fifty levels of The Old Republic’s story line completely free, but what happens when that is all of the story line? The answer: Expansions. The Old Republic’s first expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, is coming in Spring 2013 and brings with it several changes to the Old [...]
The Old Republic: Free To Play Requires A Subscription
November 17th, 2012 Omali Once The Old Republic launched its free to play program, I figured I’d set up a new account to see just how tight the restrictions on free players are. However, as you can see above, I’ve hit a snag: My free to play account doesn’t have an active subscription. Either an overlooked bug or some [...]
