During the fourth and final day of New York Comic Con, we had a chance to speak with Cory Butler, Live Producer at BioWare on Star Wars: The Old Republic. In the interview, we discuss the team's preparations for launch, goals for testing in targeted regions, the lack of central US servers, approach to dynamic spawning, and more.

As we are a little over 9 weeks away from launch, what's the mood like among the development team?

Cory Butler: Everybody is really excited. We are just kind of heads down, looking to finish things up, tie off some loose ends, and everybody is really pumped to get the game out there and have people start to play it for real.

Hit the jump for the interview in full.

During day three of New York Comic Con, the Darth Hater staff caught up with several fans and captured their impressions of Star Wars: The Old Republic gameplay. Fans representing a good mix of experience and play styles shared their thoughts on Origin Worlds, Warzones, Classes, tactics, pre-orders, and plans for launch. And we're not quite sure what the Wookiee was saying, but it appeared as if he really enjoyed the game too.

Please note, the audio quality is not good due to some issues we had with the recorder. It is recommended that you keep the volume level in mind when watching.

During day three of New York Comic Con 2011, TORSyndicate organized a community event called the Fan Site Faceoff. The event pitted some of the biggest names in the SWTOR Fan Site community including Corellian Run Radio, FragWorld, Jen'Jidai, Guild Umbra, NothingGaming, TORTalk, TORWars, Darth Hater, and more against each other in a heated Warzone PVP match on Alderaan. Luckily for us, we were there to record the win for the Republic and our community here.

Included in the photo gallery below are some images from the event. Lastly, we would like to thank BioWare for allowing us to take part in this.

It is the first official day of New York Comic Con and there is plenty going on in regards to Star Wars: The Old Republic on the show floor. In our first piece of content from today, we cover the SWTOR Main Panel with a live blog directly from the event. Senior Online Community Manager Stephen Reid noted yesterday in a Newsarama interview that while there may not be any major reveals at the panel, there would be new 'visuals.' Whatever the 'visuals' and more happen to be, you can be sure we will note it in the live blog as it happens and the transcript (of the major points) some time after the conclusion of the panel.

Notes from the live blog are contained after the jump

UPDATE: In an effort to get video up as soon as possible for our readers and the SWTOR community in general, we pulled together some quick highlights from the main panel. The highlights video is available after the jump.

NYCC 2011: BioWare Meet & Greet

BioWare hosted a Meet & Greet event for Star Wars: The Old Republic fans at District 36 in New York City. This event was the precursor to BioWare's presence at New York Comic Con. In attendance from the SWTOR team were Daniel Erickson, Stephen Reid, David Bass and several other BioWare Austin staff.

The BioWare team decorated the club with SWTOR concept art and posters. Fans were able to also use six computers set up for SWTOR origin world play - about 20 lucky individuals played for roughly 40 minutes each. For the majority of attendees who did not get to play, there was an open bar and open conversations with the BioWare staff. The crowd around Daniel Erickson was consistently large, as fans know by now he can tell a good story. There was also swag to be won from Ari Sapriel of BioWare in the form of t-shirts and posters for answering Star Wars or BioWare trivia questions.

A media gallery with photos of the event is available below.
