Some unexpected news came from the latest State of the Game entry for Star Wars: The Old Republic, posted by Jay Hickman, the games Executive Producer. Hidden away at the bottom, he revealed that same gender relationships would indeed make its debut on Makeb, the new planet available in the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion.

I for one am pleased to see this happening, though reading through the discussion thread about it on the official forums, there seem to be some differing opinions (after all, PvP is more important than everything, right? lol).

Sith are known throughout the galaxy as being the embodiment of the dark side of the Force, their history stained with the blood of everyone and everything around them. To many, they are simply evil incarnate and nothing more… which is why I chose to take a different path for my Sith Warrior, one that would put her up against all of the stereotypes presented of her species, the so-called Sith Purebloods.

Awhile back I started a series of “Trooper Logs” that depicted the events of my main characters journey through Star Wars: The Old Republic. However, that series came to an abrupt end when BioWare decided to have “voluntary-forced” server transfers which would mean I’d end up losing the names of my toons… which to me is unacceptable!

Of course, things ended up working out for the best and now that I’m back I feel compelled to post more entries relating to The Old Republic, though without returning to that old Trooper Log format. I’ve decided to start a series of entries about each character in “The Former Legacy” starting with my main toon on the Republic side, Lynk Former.

Well, this is interesting… after writing the last entry I went to sleep thinking that in the morning I’d wake up and uninstall Star Wars: The Old Republic and that would be the end of that.

Today I woke up and decided that before I uninstalled the game I’d take one last look at my toons to see how many of them would lose their identities. I was ready for the worst…

I haven’t really said much about it until now, but awhile back I had decided to quit Star Wars: The Old Republic. The decision hadn’t come lightly and it wasn’t because I didn’t like the game any more… it was because BioWare wasn’t able to meet the ONLY condition I had that kept me playing the game. While everyone else complained about a mountain of faults, all that BioWare needed to do was this one thing and they would’ve had me playing the game FOREVER… that… didn’t last long as it turns out…
