Updates!

The world of MMOs is growing to substantial sizes these days due to popularity and public demand.  ARGO has finally been pushed to full release a decent F2P model based off of a steam punk theme.  Well worth the look.  Sony keeps attempting to cover up the true mistakes they've been making with their networks but promise to compensate at least the U.S. portion for now by offer free Identity protection for a year.  Currently they are working on sending that out and should be received in your emails.  This is finally a good decision for Sony considering free gear and everything else just doesn't amount to protection of the real problem.  I feel bad for all the people being effected by this tragic network crisis but at least we can only hope it will be fixed and maybe even designed better.  Star Wars the Old Republic is rumored to be pushed even further into the future because they want to make sure the beta test are sufficient which is good news but not surprising at all.  It'll be nice to see what comes up in the mean time.

Beta Beware!

Several scammer have been sending out false beta invites to suspecting want to be beta testers for Star Wars: The Old Republic.  Being that the game has a huge following it's not hard to see this happening.  Bioware has recently put out a warning to all the fans about there beta invites:

"If you are invited to the real Game Testing Program, you will receive an e-mail with instructions from no-reply@bioware.swtor.com. Any other e-mail address claiming to offer an invitation is likely to be a scam. If you receive an e-mail and are in doubt or are concerned about its validity, please forward your concerns to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com. If you do receive a genuine testing invitation from us, you will also be able to view the invitation and testing information at www.swtor.com/tester."

Make sure to be diligently checking your e-mails properly and don't fall to the scams.  E-mail phishing is a big issue and it can ruin allot more then just a beta invite!  So be safe and good luck!

Flash Point Show n' Tell

The latest Developer walk through for Star Wars: The Old Republic show a in depth look at one of there flash points.  I have to say I'm mighty impressed and frankly I'm seriously excited for it's release.  It looks challenging yet doable and very fun.  The only thing I found slightly odd was, why does the Jedi have to pull items out of the ground?  They already have ducking spots for smugglers so they should have items lying around to be thrown.  But that's a matter of opinion I guess.

Guilds for the ready!

Star Wars: The Old Republic has a guild recruiting page set up for recruiting before release!  Helping to get the community assembled even before we play.  Bioware has seen the community and they are trying everything they can to get us in before the game becomes ready.

I have already set up a guild name IAMMMOGAMER in case any of you readers out there are willing to. Show your pride!  It's set up for the Empire side of the house considering I plan on being a Bounty Hunter from the start.  Go BOBAFETT :) So get in there and register your allegiance!
