Today is the day The Information Extravaganza has begun Below you will find links to all of the articles posted on December 3rd pertaining to what we learned at LucasArts about Star Wars: The Old Republic. This includes information regarding the Jedi Consular, Sith Inquisitor, Smuggler class trees, second part of our interview with Jake Neri, other general information learned during the hands-on demo, and our take on the four force users debate.

 
General Information Learned - An in-depth dissection of the general abilities and information that does not pertain to any specific class. Information you can expect to see in the article includes the questing system, sprint mechanic, and much more.

The Sith Inquisitor - An in-depth dissection of the history, class abilities, combat, and more of the Sith Inquisitor.

The Jedi Consular - An in-depth dissection of the history, class abilities, combat, and more of the Jedi Consular.

Smuggler Class Trees - An in-depth dissection of the smuggler class trees shown in the presentation as well as Jake Neris comments from the second part of our interview.

Companion Characters - An analysis of a couple companion characters and how BioWare and LucasArts think they could change the way we play MMOs.

Jake Neri Interview Part Two - The second part of our interview with Jake Neri discusses the Jedi Consular, Sith Inquisitor, why the team decided on four force users, companion characters, and the smuggler class trees.

Darth Hater on the Four Force Users - Our very own take on the possible reasons behind using four force using classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic. We offer our own, unfiltered, opinions regarding the very heated debate and how we feel after a month of consideration.

Been following your blog whenever the devs link to something on the forums. I just wanted to say that in a world dominated by G4 and the big names in gaming online(IGN, Gamespot etc.) Your site is far and above the best I have read. You guy have been knocking it out of the park with you coverage of announcements and the recent press events. I had friends asking me for links on where the best place was to go in order to get all the goods, I linked all of them to you're site and they were all impressed. I can't stress enough how impressive the quality of your coverage is, and I wanted to throw some thanks in your direction as I know this can be a thankless business sometimes. Keep up the good work, I'll be following your blog just as closely as the dev tracker from now on.

Completely agree Sleyo. You guys keep given us the goods even when it looks as though there’s nothing to give. That’s why you all rule. Keep going strong and I'll keep being a fan ;) DH rocks! Oh, and I can finally look at the site, not as much traffic now. Can’t wait to see this game out in stores and you guys show us tips, tricks, etc. Its gonna be great.

Great articles!
The information coming from the various magazines did not come even close to the quality provided here. So hats off to the team.

Still no idea when the testing will begin?

Would love to see some stuff about Jedi knight or pvp...

Someone's not been reading.

This stuff is totally amazing. I'm completely reassured about the two new classes and well.. most other doubts I have.

I'm just so curious about the paths a Bounty Hunter will be able to choose!
