Darth Hater in December 
by Dover
, posted November 20th, 2009 at 11:46 AM
The last few weeks have been noteworthy for everyone following Star Wars: The Old Republic. We've seen the Jedi Knight and Imperial Agent revealed back-to-back, and we got the first taste of the new marketing direction from BioWare and LucasArts with the combat demo for the Imperial Agent. Although November has been great to the fans, and especially us here at Darth Hater, December looks to be even more exciting.

On December 3rd, you too will be a VIP

We would like to invite everyone to join us here on December 3rd for a Star Wars: The Old Republic News Extravaganza. So eat some turkey, do some shopping, and get ready to see a little of what TOR has in store for us in the new year.

Yes Sir Dover Sir
Comment by Silvermist made on 11/22/09 11:43:56 PM
Actually, you were allowed to record the presentation in San Fran in a form that no one can prevent (unless they give you a good dose of sedative)- your memory. Now if I could just figure out how to upload a person's memory to a computer in full HD-TV color, I'd be rich enough to buy a house located conspicuously close to Bioware Austin, and a pair of binoculars. At least.

If only you could tap into my mind.
Comment by Niobewun made on 11/21/09 11:37:32 PM
Guess I will have to set my alarm for 2:55 am EST..... but then I hope DH don't crash... :(

On a side note.... why haven't I heard anyone discuss Alderaan as a possible playable world?
It is 3500 years before it was blown up, unless there is some lore I am not aware of as to why we couldn't play there.

i love that picture of the Sith Warrior on the VIP tag!

Comment by Dover made on 11/21/09 4:53:16 PM
that was one of the ID badges we got at LA, sitting next to the computer we we speak.
Comment by Panzzer made on 11/21/09 6:37:37 PM
looks so sick! Hope the armour will look similar to that. Probably only if your 100% dark side tho.
Comment by PercMerc made on 11/21/09 3:48:50 PM
Someone needs to set all of the Darth Hater team's clocks forwards an hour on Dec. 2nd then they can give us the information early. DH Team, just deny you know anything about the Star Wars nerds who snuck into your house in Imperial Agent outfits and messed with your clocks. LA and BW will believe you.

..."These are not the clocks you're looking for"...
Comment by Hewo made on 11/21/09 11:44:03 AM
Well this makes sense why you guys missed your flight back. I'm sure ya'll had no idea what a treat you were getting when they invited ya.
Comment by ValiceKohn made on 11/21/09 1:09:57 AM
I don't go any where else! I'll be here for sure.
Comment by Lugano made on 11/20/09 9:33:04 PM
Awww I'm going to be working that night, but hopefully I'll be able to sneak on like I am right now :)
Comment by Deidare made on 11/20/09 10:35:29 PM
Do that all time at school. Stupied computer aps class. Get my work done 30 minutes before everyone else. Haha
Comment by MrWarlock made on 11/20/09 7:38:58 PM
Darn most likely 1 of the best Friday updates to date, and I've planned a long weekend in Spain, darn people and the crazy Birthday stuff.
May have to take time out from the party town and get in some web time lol.
Comment by Darka made on 11/20/09 7:37:11 PM
Looking forward to it, though i must say i am still a bit nervous, part of me is concerned that anything they announce could be brought on in an attempt to get the game out asap rather then finish it first then release it

Someone mentioned that MMORPG.com had a similar link, but i refuse to go to a site llike that, only looked further once someone mentioned you guys had something about it!

Also how many of you work at bioware or LA seems you have some very good yet highly suspicious connections to these type of things haha

I wish I worked at LA, would be the biggest dream of mine. If I worked at LA everyone would know ;).
Comment by snafu made on 11/21/09 3:35:06 AM
And yet at the same time nobody would know anything.
Comment by Xavier made on 11/21/09 12:43:52 PM
nice...lol

Comment by Dover made on 11/20/09 8:02:51 PM
none of us are employed by BioWare or LucasArts, however we have developed a nice working relationship due to some fantastic work by people a little more behind the scenes then Sado and I.
Comment by PercMerc made on 11/21/09 3:40:10 PM
Your producer??

Comment by Sleeper made on 11/20/09 6:19:53 PM

Comment by Deidare made on 11/20/09 6:30:11 PM
Ok wait a minute, by be here you mean just visit the website on December 3rd right? I know that’s a dumb question, but I'm just curious.
DH Team
Comment by sado made on 11/20/09 6:34:47 PM
December 3rd midnight pst.
Comment by Xavier made on 11/20/09 6:56:36 PM
Ok, just to clarify,
0001 on the night of 12/2 going into Thursday morning 12/3
or
0001 on the night of 12/3 going into Friday morning 12/4?

sorry I couldn't resist. I'll be quiet now. :(
Comment by Xavier made on 11/21/09 12:44:48 PM
Thanks for the clarification Dover.
:)
Comment by Savage Daddy made on 11/20/09 11:45:14 PM
The very second that 12/2 turns to 12/3 Pacific Standard time (-8 GMT) you should start looking here for news.
Comment by Deidare made on 11/20/09 10:33:06 PM
Err I feel like a noob, PST? Whats that abbreviated for? I'll I know is please send tell. lol

Comment by Dover made on 11/20/09 8:03:39 PM

Comment by Panzzer made on 11/20/09 7:11:41 PM
lmao i thought the same thing, Sado please clarify. Will it be released on 12:01 december 3rd morning?
Comment by Savage Daddy made on 11/20/09 5:26:08 PM
Party at Sado's. Open bar?!
Comment by Flagg made on 11/20/09 5:23:07 PM
Good deal. Lookin forward to it.
Comment by Panzzer made on 11/20/09 4:55:52 PM
Awesome thats also when my classes end and exams start!!!
Comment by snafu made on 11/20/09 4:51:07 PM
On December 3rd the Darth Hater boys will be coming out with big sticks to penetrate the community with information. I can't wait!
Comment by LegacyForceFan made on 11/20/09 3:42:49 PM
Very, very nice. I'm excited. :)
Comment by Team made on 11/20/09 2:55:49 PM
i really hope the last two classes aren't force users
Comment by Jet made on 11/20/09 2:30:42 PM
Thanks for everything, you guys are fantastic.

Wooooooot!!! CANT WAIT!! :) :) :)
Comment by bossCCCP made on 11/20/09 1:58:27 PM
w0000ttt!??!?! Seems like December will turn out even greater than I could possibly imagine. They are prolly pushing out a lof of info now, so that they can get on with the CB early in the next year.
Comment by Deidare made on 11/20/09 6:28:22 PM
I know; this is better than any Christmas gift I could ask for, even though I already called some guys from Bioware and asked for more info for Christmas!
Comment by Huskell made on 11/20/09 1:27:15 PM
Just curious, when you guys were in San Francisco did they tell you what the last two classes were? I am not asking what they are. Just wondering if you guys know.
Comment by Savage Daddy made on 11/20/09 3:47:58 PM
They know......

Comment by Dover made on 11/20/09 8:04:55 PM
:-D
Comment by Deidare made on 11/20/09 6:26:37 PM
Yep, they know, maybe we can umm, ransom for the secrets...? Or… if that doesn’t work, we can always use force... (And then be banned from the site I’m sure :P )
Comment by Panzzer made on 11/20/09 4:56:37 PM
Dover you dog you!!! You definitely know!!!!!
Comment by Xavier made on 11/20/09 5:56:41 PM
You think? How would they be able to put together there presentation before Dec 3rd. They gonna do a live net broadcast from LA. Which I'm sure they'd love to do, but it doesn't really sound feasable does it?
DH Team
Comment by Dover made on 11/20/09 3:38:20 PM
We can't confirm or deny anything that may or may not have been covered, we can only tell you when we will let you know ;-)
Comment by Bzrk made on 11/20/09 12:49:16 PM
This is what Sean said on the announcement of the friday update today:

"We plan on ending the year well. Looking at the roadmap on my wall, we will be doing an update every Friday throughout the rest of the year, including over the holidays. And not a single one of those is a webcomic (by itself) and no Fan Fridays (although they will be returning next year... with some new facets)."

So there's loads of info comming up in december :)
Comment by Kanjiten made on 11/20/09 12:20:41 PM
Excellent, looks like that's the date the information embargo (from the demo) is lifted. Is it hard for you guys to keep such delicious information a secret (...aside from the legal implications)? I'd be practically exploding with nerd zealousness at the moment.

You have no idea, the forums are a mine field of threads that we all wish we could comment on so we just stay over here, as quietly as we can.
Comment by Huskell made on 11/20/09 4:20:30 PM
Would this thread be one of those mines?

Comment by killercow made on 11/20/09 11:50:44 AM
Can't wait! Mmorpg.com said that the same day they will have info on the last two classses so i guess we will see quite a lot of info!
Comment by Savage Daddy made on 11/20/09 3:50:07 PM
DH has the same info as it came from the same event. Support DH with your bandwidth though!!!!

Thanks, we are putting a lot of work into getting everything ready. At the end of the day we would never have been invited if it wasn't for you guys, and we hope we got the fine details that our community is looking for. ;-)
