Anyone who is in the beta, you probably can't confirm this but I read:
Wow, that kinda sucks if it's true. Revan was one of the big parts I was excited about.
That Revan is alive(after 300 years??), there is a group called "Revanites" and apparently the story around him is very unsatisfying and feels unfulfilled as it currently is.

So you think the Titan CE will be $80? EA/Bioware are just pricing the CE for what the market will bear. Blizzards next mmo will have an over $100 CE you can take that to the bank.Sigfodr said:
However I wish it was cheaper and am surprised they actually had the balls to price it that high. Im hoping the digital CE will be far cheaper and still have the headstart. Thats all Im really paying for anyways.
Here's to hoping that the 150 dollar pricetag is just someone making an uneducated guess.
If it's truly 150 dollars I'm just not going to cough it up. I love myself a good CE, but we're paying most of the money for a lame ass figurine.
Drop that sucker 60 dollars in price and I'm in. Otherwise it'll be digital CE for me.

I have a feeling everything will be revealed in due time.
Drew Karpyshyn is one of the senior writers on SWTOR. He was also the lead writer of the original KOTOR.

Maybe you should stop reading leaked "spoilers", wait until the game comes out, and make up your own opinion about what is/isn't in the game? As it is, you have no idea what's bullshit and what's real - or what biases leakers have.Darklord said:
Why get upset over something that you're looking forward to, when you don't even know if it is or isn't true?

Hes a writer, he has little to do with the actual gameplay that the developers decide on. Same thing with Mass Effect where much of his fluff is disregarded in favor of the game.

It was established they could not heal in the KOTOR era, right? Maybe 300 years prior they could? I don't remember the reasoning from KOTOR.
Baller said:
That's the problem.
People are saying it's unsatisfying and feel the book needs to fill in the questions rather than the game.
Morn said:
Palpatines master could heal, hell, he could bring them back from the dead and I'm pretty sure Palpatine used some kind of healing thing in Episode 3 on Anakin.

Seeing as the book is all about filling the gap, I would expect it to be much more detailed and informative than anything the game could have provided.

I probably won't even subscribe beyond the first 30 free days.

Plus they aren't just going to end story threads immediately. At least I'd guess not. They have to add stuff to the content updates, DLC, etc. So things that might not seem finished might get touched on later in the games life cycle too.

Probably saving Revan to be a raid boss in an upcoming patch/expansion. Kinda like Arthas in WotLK.
It's an MMO, don't forget.

What was Revan's canonical ending for Kotor?

Thought that was the case. Thanks. So these "Revanites" should be light side guys? Or are they OG Revan followers?Giolon said:
I wanna play this game so damn bad.

No one really knows wtf is going on with him. Some people think that he learned the art of essence transfer and is actually the Sith Emperor. If there's "Revanites" in the game then maybe that's not the case.

Gah damn E.A. cant they realize Steam is the future not Origin?
TOR is pretty much the only game where I'd rather buy it on Origin. I consider MMOs to be both a game and a service and I don't want to have to run a service (Steam) in order to access another service (TOR). Origin doesn't need to be running to play TOR. Plus I'm hoping that Origin pre orders give beta invites.
It still sucks that TOR isn't anywhere else, but there are others games I'll be way more upset with (Mass Effect 3 had better be on Steam).

Once I heard TOR required origin I just let go all my hate for origin because whats the point. Im going to have to keep origin on my SSD with steam so I might as well get used to it. Besides I want this mmo to be a success so EA getting all my money for this project is something i can feel good about.Billychu said:
That price is pure insanity. No way is that real.Rflagg said:

Don't care about the statue stuff, will probably get the digital CE that has all the extra in game stuff.
Some more rumors from Kotaku (so take with a grain of salt):
A source claiming to have knowledge of EA's plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic tells Kotaku that pre-orders for the game will begin this Thursday, July 21 at 2am CST.
Pre-orders for The Old Republic will come in two flavors, the basic edition and the special Collector's Edition. The total number of pre-orders EA is purportedly taking caps out at 500,000, with only the first 50,000 pre-orders guaranteed, the rest queued in a prioritized waiting list.
Those purchases will only be handled through EA's online store, Origin. Interested customers may want to make sure they have an Origin account in good standing prior to the pre-order launch if they're hungry for an early copy.
Still no official release date, we're toldthough one of the above European retailers has it listed shipping on November 25but Star Wars: The Old Republic is still expected by end of year.

What the hell is the point of doing digital downloads if they're going to put a cap on the amount of people that can order it?

Hmm, would make sense with the collectible figure they're including. Oh well, I'll wait for a more official announcement before I try to make too much sense out of it.
