The twenty-fifth issue of Threat of Peace begins in the heat of the fight between the Jedi and the Sith in Dantooine's crystal caves. Lord Baras confronts Satele Shan with the fact that her Master was responsible for the attacks that threatened the peace process. When Satele hesitates, Lord Baras tries to urge her towards the dark side, even as Master Dar'Nala screams at Satele to strike the Sith Lord down.
Check out the latest issue of Threat of Peace now.
Late last night, Sean Dahlberg made a post on the Star Wars: The Old Republic official forums regarding today's Friday Update. In addition to covering the actual update, Threat of Peace 25, he also briefly discussed how BioWare will be approaching the release of information over the coming weeks.
Hey everyone,
It's only a few hours till tomorrow's update but I wanted to go ahead and post this now. Tomorrow's update will be Threat of Peace #25. We realize some may be a little dismayed by this, especially after all of the updates we were having towards the end of 2009.
While we have announced our target launch window, we also realize there is a lot of information to release between now and then. We met with the development team soon after returning from the holiday break and discussed some of the information we want to release. In going over that, we decided to wait on a few things to ensure we are giving the community the most accurate information possible. We understand that pretty much everyone would love to have all the information about The Old Republic now but we wouldn't be serving the community properly if we told you all about a particular feature or mechanic only for it to be completely different than the way we explained it when The Old Republic releases.
We definitely have some new reveals and announcements coming up but I wanted to inform everyone that our next couple of updates won't be those. And while I'd like nothing better than to tell you what is on the horizon, I can't for the very same reason as I talked about above. We have a plan on what information we want to release and when we want to release it but we always make sure the rest of the team is confident with the information we are releasing before we put it out there.
We know that some of you come here weekly and some even daily no matter what information we release because you enjoy interacting with the community. But we also know that some come here for new information and we want to make sure you get that when it is made available. Here are our suggestions on making sure you know what's going on with The Old Republic if you don't wish to check the forums.
In addition to the Threat of Peace update, we recently posted a new speculation article that might help scratch that Star Wars: The Old Republic info-itch. Even with BioWare carefully waiting to make new announcements, there is so much information hidden in the official site that we will have plenty to talk about in the interim. Be sure to check back often as we get rolling in 2010

The E3 super-trailer of last year probably should have come out this year in preparation for release in under a year from then. Basically, the build up started too soon, but nothing they can do about it now but make a good, polished product, and try to get some good hype off the actual gameplay of late beta pre-launch.
.
If it's a really good game when a lot of people are doing that final testing Q1 next year, the hype will get huge again (and naturally be bigger than it ever was last year). Just seems like a good bit of the hype machine last year was wasted energy though. Could have easily saved all of last year's marketing energy for 2010. /shrug

Posted 1/30/2010 7:05:28 AMNow that the Mass Effect "after party" marketing party is over with, BioWare can now form a target plan to shift towards its new product, SW:TOR. The conventions, the media outlets, the sponsored events, and so on to promote this game is out there for this game, and they will put so much money and ideas that will rock the interest to its targeted audience to high scales. They will reveal many crucial parts to the game and impress the crowd by targeting their powerful marketing tool: Demonstration Presentations.
From there, the game will be working its custom schedule to grasp as much community as possible to get people testing for it and grab more consumers that way. Then, whether it will be early 2011 or late 2011 will determine the finished product. PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT SET A COMPLETION DATE, ONLY AN ESTIMATION OR SPECULATIVE RELEASE!!!
As usual, ignore SW:TOR forums as your opinions and whatnot are trashed anyways. Let them rant and deal with their lowlife ambitions in getting so clogged into the hatred and poor speculation.
I end this note with a quote from myself. "The wise and open-minded will forever retain the best knowledge and power over the close-minded... do not let the weak lure you in." "Your given eyes to not only see but to retain information that seeks truth to anything that your mind can open up to." "The hardest thing as a young person, like yourself, is patience... patience is the hardest ability to conquer." "If you can conquer that, the things you want most in life will be fulfilled in good manner, without no harm done to yourself."

Posted 1/30/2010 1:27:24 PMEven though i hope for more interesting news in the future, i'm glad i have Mass Effect 2 to keep me entertained. The game was genius on many levels and it only shows how much good BioWare can do when they actually take their time with a game and don't just release it and develop alot of patches along the way to either fix or keep the population satisfied.
