Friday Update Preview: GDC, Event Schedule, and Fan Friday

Sean Dahlberg sent word that next week's Star Wars: The Old Republic friday update will be a Fan Friday and commented on a tweet he made earlier:

Ahhhh, this is where the culprit came from Yes, I am at the EA studios this week for something unrelated to GDC. That said, we will have a presence at GDC this week and we plan on doing a wrap-up of it in our next Fan Friday article (this week is not a Fan Friday.

That said, that was tweeted on my personal account and not the official TOR twitter account so don't read too much into it. If it was something big, we'd definitely make mention of it in the latter and not just on my account.
 
Sean also made mention that they will be updating their 'Events' page to reflect the conventions Bioware and LucasArts will be attending for Star Wars: The Old Republic:

We will have an update about this very soon. While we are doing something during GDC, TOR itself does not have a presence at GDC. But we will be updating our Events schedule soon.

Me too, though I'm not getting my hopes up. The jist I got from Sean's comments are that its going to be something pretty small for TOR at GDC, and that there is no new reveals there or possibly throughout March. Going on what was said at the end of January, I thought March would have a reveal of some kind, but it doesn't look that way now.

More than likely, it's either going to be something like more gameplay animations/models, or they are going to go whole hog and pop out some other playable races.

Yeah I am sure it's just character/creature models and animations specifically from the ToR discussion session on the streamlining pipeline or whatever that session is called.
