Star Wars: The Old Republic, A Revisit

So my first ever blog was on SW:ToR and I feel like I did not do it near the justice that is deserves. For anyone who does not know this is a MMORPG that has been in development by Bioware for some time now. This is a largely anticipated game by the gaming community. Many things have been promised by Bioware and its developers.
This game is showing many aspects that a Star Wars game should have, especially a MMO. Many worlds is one of them,and the following planets will be available in ToR: Tython, Korriban, Hutta, Ord Mantell, Coruscant, Balmorra, Alderaan, Tatooine, Dromund Kaas, Taris, Belsavis, Voss, Hoth, Nar Shaaddaa, and last, but surely not least Corellia! The amount of world space is just unbelievable. This shows how much is going to be in this game, especially since all the dialogue is fully voiced! It is unknown at this time if more planets are planned to be released but keeping up with the Friday updates on their website is a good idea if you are interested.
On top of the enormous amount of space player will have on the ground, they will also be able to fly in space, own their own ship, and fight with their ship. Many pilots from the failed game of Star Wars Galaxies are excited to hear about this feature in ToR. Well done Bioware!
A little background story on the game is that it is during a time of great peril between the Jedi and the Sith. They are prevalent throughout the galaxy. So, of course four of the eight playable classes involve "The Force" and a lightsaber. The most recent class update involved the Jedi's and designing the Light Side. This made me sure that I want to play a Jedi Consular. More can be found on this here:
