It's time for more updates to The Old Republic! This week is all about the galaxy, as Galactic Reputation, the Galactic War effort, and heroism become centerstage. Galactic Rep is grindable by any character, as it's tied to your Legacy and not your individual characters. Subscribers, as usual, get the nice perks of +50% to their earned reputation, and the more rep you earn, the more you gain titles that signify your achievements.

New screenshots, a "First Look" video and new pre-ordr details on Rise of the Hutt Cartel, SWTOR's Digital Expansion have been released today.
The glossy new glimpses of Makeb are featured in the screenshots, depicting some of the environment where the fight between the Empire, Republic and the Hutt Cartel will unfold.
For anyone around 50 or so, The Old Republic has a new bucket of content upcoming. Among them, the Western Ice Shelf in Ilum has a new starship, leftover from the ancient Gree, full of gear, tech, armor, and a mysterious new opponent.
If a new Event isn't your flavor, Galactic Reputation has been added to TOR. Working for the Gree or Voss, and the Republic or the Empire, adds reputation that is tied to your Legacy. So yes, reputation grinding has been introduced, but honestly can you say you wouldn't like a few more 'things to work for' in TOR?

It looks like BioWare isn't fooling around this year. Barely a day into 2013, Star Wars: The Old Republic executive producer Jeff Hickman took to the blog yesterday to deliver his second state of the game message, and what a message it was.
The galaxy has been abuzz with excitement since BioWare announced "Rise of the Hutt Cartel" earlier this week. While the announcement created excitement, it also left members of both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire with questions.
Here we are. It's the eve of the eve of the first anniversary of the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic and what do we wake up to? Presents!
