With the recent updates in Star Wars: The Old Republic news, and the steadier stream of information in general, the community is eagerly anticipating a possible anniversary announcement. Although it is taking place on a Wednesday, it wouldn't be unheard of for BioWare to have a surprise for their fans. Additionally, one of our writers here at Darth Hater, Xanamiar, noticed an odd post by Alyssa Gobelle in the developer tracker called "test" that was promptly removed. Could there be a present waiting for us tomorrow morning?
