A New Star Wars The Old Republic Website Is Launched

Online, November 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The first MMORPG by BioWare, Star Wars the Old Republic, has quickly gathered a large group of audience long before the game officially hits stores. Ever since the Star Wars series was first introduced to consumer media as a big screen movie by LucasArts several years back, it has developed a very strong and dedicated fan base. As much expected, fans of the movie series have shown just as much interest in trying out the Online game. As a result, Star Wars the Old Republic is likely to gather fans from the Online gaming community, in other words gamers, as well as fans of the series who may be first time gamers.

With a large group of audience waiting for the latest news and game updates, gaming community sites, blogs, forums and other online medias quickly make details about the game available. One of the newly launched community sites, http://www.starwarstheoldrepublicguide.org/, not only provides information about the game but makes gameplay trailers and other game related content available to visitors.

According to several information sources, the game lets players decide their own fate. Traditionally, the questing concept in MMORPGs is that bundle-able quests are all accepted at the same time and done simultaneously for experience and gamers go on to a next set of quest that doesn't really have much to do with the storyline. In SWTOR, gamers can mold their own story depending on the choices they make. With this in mind, questing is more linear in SWTOR and lets gamers feel much more involved with the storyline.

Classes are split between the two main factions, the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire in Star Wars the Old Republic. The currently known classes include Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Bounty Hunter, Sith Warrior, Imperial Agent and Sith Inquisitor. Some classes such as the Jedi Knight has additional specializations, namely Sentinel and Guardian.
