For our last Friday update Pre-Early Access (and, I guess pre-Launch since they moved the EU launch up to the 15th), we got the 8th, and final class progression video.. the Sith Inquisitor!
Personally, it’s pretty nicely done, but I’m still a little disappointed that Inquisitor’s and Councilor’s gear is the Dress looking robes, what.. you can’t use Force Lightning in pants?
We also got a recap of the Launch Events that BioWare has planned:
On December 20th, 2011, BioWare and LucasArts will be launching Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. To celebrate the game’s release, we are hosting a series of launch events in several major cities in both North America and Europe!
In the US, we have partnered with Best Buy to host launch night events at the Best Buy Union Square in New York City and the Best Buy South Austin in Austin, Texas. Members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic development team will be on hand at each location, including BioWare Co-Founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk in New York, as well as James Ohlen and Rich Vogel in Austin! Fans attending these events may be able to get their hands on swag, take part in Q&As with the developers, and even get their copy of the game signed!
For our European fans, we will also be holding events in London and Paris! In Paris, we’ll be having a launch event at the Virgin Megastore located on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées on December 14th. Those attending will have the chance to meet Technical Design Director, Emmanuel Lusinchi.
We will also be having a launch event at the Oxford Street GAME in London on December 14th. Fans who make it out to this event will have the opportunity to spend some time with Alexander Freed, Writer on Star Wars: The Old Republic and author of both the “Blood of the Empire†and “The Lost Suns†series of comics.
For more details on these events, please visit our new Launch Events section. Keep your eyes on our Community Forums, Facebook and Twitter for all the latest details!
I’m still trying to figure out how to get BioWare to have a launch party up here, or, figure out how to move to Austin by the 20th.. ;)
We got an inaugural post on the new Community Blog…that welcomes us to the Blog, and reminds us that the Forums are going to be down for the next 3 days =(
Pretty good update for the last pre-launch one.. would have liked to have seen the Timeline updated, but the rest of those updates will come after launch..
