  • Coruscant on Holonet

    Amy has alerted us that the Coruscant holonet update is now online:

    Coruscant. A symbol of power, prosperity, and innovation for civilization. The capital of the Republic serves as a hub of cultural influence and home to hundreds of alien species and from across the galaxy. Still recovering from the Sith attack during the Sacking of Coruscant, the planet has set out to rebuild what they have lost. Though the pristine skyline continues to grow, the lower level districts of Coruscant have developed troubles of their own.

    Access the HoloNet to learn more about the history of Coruscant and the struggles facing the citizens as they rebuild the planet after the attack.

    This year at the Penny Arcade Expo, attendees were treated to a special sneak-peek of the Republic capital world of Coruscant For anyone who was unable to attend, or anyone who would like to relive the video in higher quality, we invite you to check it out


    This week we have been graced with the appearance of Coruscant on the holonet. It also looks like Coruscant will be the major planet for the Republic.

    Since the Treaty of Coruscant, the Senate has been forced to make difficult decisions on prioritizing the Republics resources. Focus has been put on shoring up defenses in the border worlds and rebuilding only the parts of Coruscant critical to governance and trade. Large parts of the city-world still remain in ruins, and many sectors have fallen under gang control.


    Just because it is Republic owned does not necessarily mean that the sith wont be able to go there. Remember how Dooku was able to go there with ease right after the battle of Geonosis.

    Update: Sean has given us an update on when the Threat of Peace webcomic issue will be out:

    Yes, we have two different options: (a) release it on Monday if all goes well or (b) release it next Friday with the other update. Either way, we will be releasing Threat of Peace #16 on Sep 25th and getting back to the regular schedule for it.

  • Guild Hall changes start Monday

    Amy Crider posted an update on the recently announced Guild Hall changes:

    Hi Everyone,

    We've heard your feedback and are ready to make some changes to the Guild Hall starting on Monday.

    Our main goals for the previous changes to the Guild Hall were to organize guilds in an easier-to-find format and prevent the massive amounts of spam and bump posts that guilds were creating in the recruitment section. We want you to have an environment where you can easily communicate with fellow Star Wars: The Old Republic fans and build and reinforce your guild for the games launch.

    Since you've all pretty much stated that you enjoyed having Guild Recruitment sub-forums, we are bringing back the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic recruitment sub-forums and adding a new Undecided sub-forum. While we did play around with the idea of making these sections fully moderated in order to stay nice and clean, we decided that we were going to see how the forums develop with a more detailed rule-set in place. Well get to the rules later, but there are other changes to talk about.

    The new Guild Recruitment sub-forums will be created from scratch. Were sorry if you wanted to keep your old posts, but we need to start with a fresh clean forum and get rid of the bumped and spammed posts that clogged up the old sub-forums. Well make sure to strongly enforce the new rules so that everyone knows what is and is not acceptable. Again, we apologize if you wanted to keep a specific post, we promise that this is for the greater good of the Guild Hall

    No changes will be made to the Looking for Guild thread and the main section of the Guild Hall; only previous Guild Recruitment threads will be removed.

    Now onto the new rules - which are basically the old rules, but a bit more specific . These will be posted in a sticky in each of the recruitment threads. If you have any questions about what is or is not appropriate, please let us know and we will clarify or add it to the list.

    GUILD RECRUITMENT RULES & GUIDELINES

    This section is used for Guild Recruitment discussion only. Please use this section as a recruitment tool and not a general chat thread for your guild. If you would like to create a chat thread for your guild, please do so in the Off Topic forums.

    This section is specifically for guilds that are recruiting. If you are looking to join a guild, please use the Official Looking for a Guild thread found in the main Guild Hall area.

    If you are looking for a guild, please make sure to follow the instructions in the desired guild's recruitment thread before posting. Some guilds require that you apply in a certain format, including posting in their private forums. Practice good judgment before divulging any personal information about yourself.

    Duplicate postings, spam, bumping and trolling posts are not allowed and will be removed and the user may be warned or given infractions.
    Bashing of other guilds or attempting to cross-advertise will not be tolerated.

    Please remember that the quality of your posts is more important than the quantity.

    Examples of good posts topics inside your guild thread: Website upgrades, new member announcements, questions from non-members, guild meetings or gatherings, and answers to guild inquiries.

    Examples of bad post topics inside your guild thread: Guild chatter Has anyone seen X movie or played X game?, bump posts, negative posts about other guilds, repeated posts about the same topic.

    As always, please keep your postings constructive and on topic. If you have any questions about the Guild Recruitment Rules and Guidelines, please feel free to send a private message to a moderator, or email bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com.

    Good luck with your guild recruitment

  • Update on the Guild Hall changes

    Amy Crider posted an update about the current progress on the recent Guild Hall changes:
    Hi All,

    Just to let you know we are still planning to change the Guild Hall forums. We are currently in the process of determining if the (fully) moderated approval system is actually the best method to go with. We may just elaborate more rules and guidelines for the recruitment areas and ensure that everyone works within them. We plan to have the new system up and running, including the new Undecided section, next week and will give you any updates if that changes.

    Thank you for all of your feedback and we hope that we've come to a place where guilds feel like they can recruit and promote without having to deal with constant bumps and spammers.

  • Change is a Comin

    Looks like with the changes to the guild section there are more coming to the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums. AmyCrider told us:

    We are in the process of making changes to the back end of the website. Due to these changes, the site now requires users to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy even if they have already accepted the latest ones. Please note that the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service have not changed since May 5th 2009. Once you accept both documents, you should gain access to the site as before.


    For the whole thread you can head -->here<--. Keep an eye out for the changes. (I noticed an events tab under community, but it may have always been there)
