I gotta ask by the way, Did you get the name Xanatos from the Gargoyles cartoon from back in the day?

actually no, I got it from the young readers Star Wars Jedi Apprentice series. He was Qui-Gon's apprentice before Obi-Wan. He went to the dark side and swore vengeance on Qui-Gon after Qui-Gon had to kill Xanatos' father. Honestly I think he was more devious and would have been a better Sith than Darth Sidious lol.

it is a very good series but they are now a bit hard to find... they quit making the books a while back but i suggest if u find any to snatch them up.... they are young reader books but they are definitely good stories

Okay from what I have read from the interviews of Comic-con 09 and others the makers of SWTOR are making the gameplay similar to the Tank, DPS, Healer formula as World of Warcraft without directly eluding to it. I have seen that many people have posted that this will be their first MMO so I will be coming up with a l33t-speak (internet) dictionary here in the next couple of days so they will know what they are up against in the future lol. I have also changed my mind as far as what faction I will be. It looks like now my main character will be a Sith and my alt (alternate) character will be Jedi for me to get the story from that perspective as well. I wish they would come up with a release date tho.

Awesome- would you mind posting it on FOTOR? Could be a very valuable resource for players.

As promised (even though a little late), I am posting leetspeak (gamer and internet language) for those of you that have no prior experience in online gaming. The first website is a wiki page basic for leetspeak (or l337$p34k lol):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

Once you have the ideas of this page, you can use the more advanced version on this page from Encyclopedia Dramatica:

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Leet

Do not be afraid at the first paragraph you see. This is in all leetspeak and there is a translation underneath. I am currently at a level 6 or 7 leetspeak, any higher and I get confused and need a translation lol.

These, however, do not give enough gaming terms you will need. For this you can go to this website:

http://www.lagkills.com/gaming-acronyms.htm

This site is the most valuable for MMO's it has some of the same terms from the other 2 but it also describes roles in groups and certain acronyms that are DEFINITELY used in MMO’s such as Warhammer and World of Warcraft (more commonly known as WoW or WOW). It is a lot of info to take in, but if you can read these and understand them you will definitely have a leg-up when you begin your online gaming experience. I had to learn the hard way…. By looking like an epic noob (read and you will understand lol). I hope it helps.

P.S. please post this in the FOTOR forums.

Awesome happy

The site is http://www.forumsoftheoldrepublic.com

Since everyone here is a Star Wars fan, I would like you all to check it out, and provide feedback on it- does it look like a SWTOR forum should, in your opinion? Is it easy to navigate around? Etc. Of course, I think all positives about it, but I'm partial. I'd like an unbiased opinion, if you all don't mind.


Excellent site btw. I see you've actually managed a number of sites, quite impressive.

Thank you happy

If I may...

Brand spanking new video footage, over 20 minutes of it, is now available. This footage is from the developer's Demo presentation at GamesCon 2009, released today.

FYI. You can now sign up to hopefully be chosen to be a beta tester for the game. www.swtor.com Just fill in some info and then it does a sytem scan and you're in!
