Wow. I know it’s been too long….

But before you judge me, I think it only fair that I explain the really good and totally valid reason for my absence from this blog.

Her name is Anwen and she is a level 26 Jedi Sage. She has committed her life to mastery of the force and she lives her life on the side of the light. Well…with one exception.

This is Tharan Cedrax. They flirt sometimes.

So maybe she is not as pure as she would have you all believe….. (In answer to the undoubted question, why do they flirt? Truth. Because they can and I find that HILARIOUS).

So yeah, Anwen, Tharan and Anwen’s longtime Trandoshan Companion Qyzen Fess have been keeping me occupied while I am not at work, or asleep. Though if I’m being honest, they are also waking me up early and keeping me up late.

Star Wars the Old Republic (or SWTOR as I will most likely use in most cases) is the best MMO that I have played thus far. The story is INCREDIBLE no matter what class you play, or what side you fight for (Light side or Dark side, Republic or Empire).

As for the former…the interaction in this game is also mind blowing. Rather than just space-baring through most of the story, the game encourages you to take an active interest in the choices you make. Not only can those choices affect your relationship with various companions, they can also affect what kind of person you become. Are you a good guy, a Jedi Knight for example who chooses to kill they bad guys, rather than imprison them? You are still fighting for the republic, but now you get Dark Side Points which can lead to some extent of Sith Corruption.

This can make your eyes turn red, and your skin become covered in veins.

Or, are you an Imperial Bounty Hunter who chooses to save the innocent? You are still an active member of the Empire, but now you gain light side points, though you don’t get a halo over time. Fail, in my opinion. LOL.

I’ve played a few classes into their first major story lines (level 15 or so) and a few more for just a few quests, but Anwen has stuck with me. She was the first toon I rolled, and I feel like I betray her when I am away too long. She’s pretty rad.

I don’t know what this blog was supposed to be about. Probably a project 365 update, or something equally lame. But now all I want to do is get back to Tatooine and unearth the mysteries of a dark Jedi plague sweeping across the galaxy. It really is that important.

Back to the ship, “Defender” and onwards to Tatooine.

How do you like the game? What classes do you enjoy playing. Light vs Dark? Empire or Republic?
