Friday Update November 26, 2010: More Inhabitants
Hey all. Today we got more inhabitants to the holonet.
Link: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101126
The new entries are:
Sith Pureblood
M3-M1, a medical droid
S3-F5, a probe droid
Terentatek
Vine Cat
All right, now to speculation:
LOCATIONS:
Sith Pureblood might lead us to believe that on Korriban, there is an ancient temple where the Purebloods were first formed.
M3-M1 leads me to believe that there is a droid shop on Nar Shaddaa, which might be the place the BH picks up their droid, and where the JK picks up his.
S3-F5 could be picked up in the droid shop mentioned above, or on Ilum or Hoth, as it is meant for cold weather.
All of you probably know the Terentatek from KOTOR, and it seems that they still live. They supposedly live in caves full of dark energy, so on many planets, I fully expect a Terentatek cave.
And finally, the Vine Cat, a creature that seems as terrible, and almost as Sith-like, as the Terentatek. I think that Vine Cats will be located in the ‘Swamps of Dromund Kaas’ as Bioware put it. I didn’t know Dromund Kaas had swamps. Well, I’m sure it will be fun to explore.
Also, they mentioned the dark forests of the Vine Cat’s native Zoist. Will this be another Sith-controlled planet? We have several from the Republic, a lot Neutral, and only two Empire. I now believe that Zoist will be another planet.
In fact, about Zoist. Dark side energy? Ancient Sith homeworld? I smell a Warzone. I’m probably wrong, but I would love that.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Sith Pureblood, doesn’t really give us much to speculate about.
M3-M1, looks sort of like that droid from the Crafting video, leading be to believe that Bounty Hunter will pick up a M3-M1, named RV-2B. Just my guess. That or most of the classes get one as their medical droid, as they are mass produced, and very powerful. If so, I expect we buy him on Nar Shaddaa.
S3-F5 might be that probe/interrogation droid shown in the IA video. I used to think that was just a droid, but now I think it is a companion, especially because in one of the S3-F5 pictures, it shows him with two Agents. Also, it says to optimize a S3-F5's performance, you have to program it, which the Agent is good at. He could be very good for missions and for scavenging in terms of crafting.
The Terentatek is obviously an enemy for Jedi everywhere. In fact, I could see there being a raid where the final boss is a Terentatek. Anyway, Terentatek= Enemy (at least for Republic characters).
Vine Cat is obviously an enemy, especially for Republic, but also for the Sith. Just saying, but other than that, I don’t have much to speculate on.
NEXT UPDATE:
What will the next update bring?
Again, BH update. That or a planet. (Zoist?)
QUESTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY:
1) Do you think Zoist will be confirmed (Plain Planet or Warzone)?
2) Droid Shop on Nar Shaddaa?
3) What do YOU think the next update will be?
I probably missed a lot in the Questions to the Community, so just mainly, tell me your opinions.
Anyway, that about wraps it up. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or something I missed, tell me in the comments section.

Friday Update November 12, 2010: Crafting Info
Friday Update November 19, 2010: Fan Friday, Fresh Raiders
Hey all. Sorry I missed last week. Today I will have both updates together.
Link to crafting information: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101112
Link to Flesh Raiders Article: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101119-0
Final Link, to Fan Friday: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101119
All right, now to speculation:
LOCATIONS:
New Places:
Let’s start with the Crew Skills update.
The video shows a large green creature being shot by the lead character and Mako. Where are they? Is that Taris? If not, what planet is it?
That leads us to the next planet that has prompted a stir: Nelvaan. This was shown as one of the locations for a ‘mission’ to take place. To quote Wookiepedia, ‘Nelvaan is an icy planet...’ Not another ice planet! I personally think that because we already have multiple ice worlds, Nelvaan will not be included, except for mission skills for companions.
And, for the next update: Flesh Raiders!
What planet do these guys come from? Ah. Wookiepedia says they come from Tython. So, no new planet there.
And, of course, Fan Friday, offers no real material for speculation.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Okay. Same Order.
Obviously, Mako, Skadage, and the Droid (RB-2V, I think?) are clearly shown, as is the monster they were fighting on ‘Taris’.
And we also saw our good friends, the Mandos. There were people in mando armor, leading me to assume we will be fighting Mandalorians.
And, of course, Jedi will be fighting Flesh Raiders on Tython.
Fan Friday gives us nothing to speculate about.
NEXT UPDATE:
What will the next update bring?
An update for the Bounty Hunter. PLEASE. I’m rolling a BH first, so it is biased, but please. Also, the crafting stuff set us up for it. Please! So, BH update.
QUESTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY:
1) What do you think about the crafting system?
2) What do YOU think the next update will be?
Sorry again for missing last week, but I was busy.
Anyway, that about wraps it up. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or something I missed, tell me in the comments section.

Sorry.
Hi all.
Sorry I missed last week's update. There was RL stuff I had to do.
But next week I'll try to do both updates in one post.

Hey all. Today’s update was huge. A sneak peek at the crafting system, where your companions make stuff for you, along with Warzone information and a Warzone video, topped off by a poll for the Wizard AC name change.
Link to Warzone stuff: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101105
Link to Wizard Name change article: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101105-0
Final Link, to Darth Hater where the crafting was announced: http://darthhater.com/2010/11/05/swtor-pvp-warzones-crafting-revealed/
(The Crafting info is on page 2) (Also, the Link might not work, so just copy and paste the URL into your browser’s URL box.)
All right, now to speculation:
LOCATIONS:
So our new place is:
The Warzone Area on Alderaan will be trying to take control of a massive cannon to take out the enemy ships. There are several consoles that you must try to take and protect from the enemy faction. I think that (note, this has been semi-confirmed) there will be a ship Warzone, and in my opinion, I fully expect a ‘Last Stand’ Warzone, where instead of 8v8, you can get up to 25v25 to fight for a few small bases as checkpoints.
Sorry for the small location section.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Other characters. That has been confirmed via the PvP warzone announcement.
And of course, the NPCs that you need for crafting. I fully expect all classes to have at least one companion who is optimized for each type of crafting. (Ex. Vette=Treasure Hunting)
And enemies, I expect that we will have some animals for biochem crafting, and bio analysis. And we will have people defending the consoles your companions slice, etc.
NEXT UPDATE:
What will the next update bring?
An update for the Bounty Hunter. I think we need that. We have enough planets and everything, so we’ll get more class updates. That or we will get the Consular update, as they would have the new AC names.
QUESTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY:
1) What do you think about the crafting system?
2) What did you vote for on the new AC name?
3) What do YOU think the next update will be?
Sorry for the short post, but not much was left open. As we near launch, I think I’ll have less to speculate about.
Anyway, that about wraps it up. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or something I missed, tell me in the comments section.

Hey all. This Friday we got the Imperial Agent Update. I really enjoyed it, and the video was amazing.
Link to the news Update: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101029
Almost nothing to speculate about, but I’ll try. (And fail horribly)
LOCATIONS:
Sorry, I have Nothing.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Possible quests about the companion, Kaliyo, might pit you versus Underworld criminals.
NEXT UPDATE:
I expect a planet. Possibly one of the two mentioned before. Yavin 4 or Aeten 2. Or maybe Geonosis, as that has been mentioned before in time lines too.
QUESTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY:
1) Did you enjoy the Agent Update?
2) What do you think the next update will be?
Well, that about wraps it up. Sorry for the incredibly short speculation post. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or something I missed, tell me in the comments section.

October 22, 2010
Hey all. Guess what! I, somehow, was right on my speculation. This Friday update is the October Fan Friday!
In this Fan Friday, there was art as usual, but in the Dev Corner we got a revisit of Kaas City on Dromund Kaas. The new concept art is amazing, and you should check it out.
Link to Fan Friday: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101022-0
But wait, that’s not all!
We also got more biographies.
Link to the new bio news article: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20101022
All right, now to speculation:
LOCATIONS:
Obviously, Kaas City, although we already knew that. Maybe new locales on Kaas?
I think mostly it’s re-rendering, etc, so not much there.
Maybe Bouris Ulgo’s estate of Farming. It’s a thought. As a Republic class we could get advice and help from Bouris Ulgo when fighting House Thul on Alderaan. Ulgo has gone mad, thinking he is king. My question is, what are his relations with House Organa? This wouldn’t be a new planet, just a location on the planet Alderaan.
What about Aeten 2, where Diab Duin is stationed? The biography itself is not that remarkable, and he doesn’t seem like that important of a character, unless he comes back to the known galaxy, or Aeten 2 is a location. What if Aeten 2 is the full out Warzone planet people have been asking for?
In response for the ‘Keeper’, what can I say? No new locations, except maybe a locale on Dromund Kaas.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Alright, now for the enemies and/or allies.
Bouris Ulgo. I say that for Empire classes, Mr. Ulgo will be a boss. Not sure, but as a long standing enemy of House Thul, ‘King’ of Alderaan, and a friend of the Republic, I think that the Empire will want to get rid of him. Maybe as a smaller quest, so as not to distract of House Thul vs. House Organa, but I think that he will be in the game. Maybe a PvPvE quest where the Sith and Empire battle for his location, the Empire wanting to destroy it, the Republic wanting to keep it.
The Keeper is obviously the main quest giver for the Imperial Agent, at least in the beginning. I see two ways he could be an enemy. For the Empire, the Imperial Agent might want to overthrow him near end-game, and for the Republic, well, let’s just say that the removal of Imperial Intelligence would be a large victory for the Republic.
NEXT UPDATE:
What will the next update bring?
One of 3 things, I believe.
A class update, either Imperial Agent, or Bounty Hunter. I personally want a Bounty Hunter Update, but that is only because I am playing a Bounty Hunter. But a class update none the less, and it will be a non-force user on the Empire side, as they have done the Sith Warrior and the Jedi Knight, and they have done the Smuggler.
So a class update or a new planet. I know we just got Ilum, but maybe Yavin 4 or Aeten 2 will be confirmed. I personally think a class update is more likely, but who knows?
QUESTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY:
Alright, as a new feature, in each blog I will post a question, or questions, to the community, you.
Remember to respond in the comments section.
The first question is: 1) Do you think Aeten 2 will be confirmed as a Warzone? Do you want it to? Do you even want a full-out warzone planet, of nothing but PvP?
2) What did you think of Friday’s Update? Did you like it?
3) What do YOU think the next update will be?
Well, that about wraps it up. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or something I missed, tell me in the comments section.

October 15, 2010
Friday's Update was a timeline video of the rise and fall of Exar Kun.
The timeline video is done by Master Gnost-Dural, as usual. Watch the video to understand what I’m speculating about.
Many locations are visited by Kun. Some might be visited in game by various classes.
LOCATIONS:
The ruins of the library on Ossus might be visited, adding Ossus as a new planet. This is rather unlikely, as there would only be one location, so far confirmed, and would be rather barren.
As hinted at by many of the timeline videos, Yavin 4 might be a location. There, most likely Sith will visit, and possible talk to the spirits of Exar Kun and Naga Sadow. Yavin 4 may be likely, but consulting the spirits is not, as Kun and Sadow did not seem to support the current Sith Emperor. Yavin 4 has been in the movies, and is a general popular location. The question, who would go there. Sith could to see the spirits, although the Sith do not seem to support the Sith Emperor. Jedi wouldn’t go, as Sadow and Kun would try to corrupt them. So, there is a slight chance that this will be a confirmed location.
ENEMIES/ALLIES:
Possibly the Masasi Warriors? These warriors of Naga Sadow might be enemies of people who visit Yavin 4, linking back to the previous section.
What about the other cult, led by Ulic Qel-Droma? The Krath. Might they be an enemy?
Sorry for the small enemy/ally section, but not much is said in the video.
NEXT UPDATE:
What will the next update bring?
I personally am hoping for the October Fan Friday. Concept art, or maybe a new race in the Dev Corner.
Well, that about wraps it up. If any followers have anything about the Old Republic they want me to mention, speculate about, or even something I missed, tell me in the comments section.
