The Old Republic is coming…

I’ll be posting up a Game Spotlight for Xenoblade Chronicles before the end of the month but in the meantime…

It has been revealed that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released on the 20th of December in North America and 22nd of December in Europe. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy of the Collector’s Edition version of TOR so I’m all set and really can’t wait to sink my teeth into my first proper MMO experience. Seeing as this is such a special occasion for me for many reasons, I was thinking and came up with a nice idea…

I’ve been paying close attention to all of the information coming out for The Old Republic and have decided that for my main character I will become one of the Republic’s finest… a Trooper Vanguard. I’m going to invest quite a lot of time and effort into TOR (though not obsessively, still have lots of other games to play after all) and have come up with an idea to tie the experiences I have in the game with this website.

I will be starting a “Trooper Log” on this site which I will update every so often as I progress through the game. I will be keeping these log entries as short and concise as possible to make it easier to read but also because I still want to spend most of my time writing up proper Articles and Game Spotlight entries for the site. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to follow my progress and unique decisions I’ve made throughout the game as I play it as well as view screenshots I’ll be taking of the game including the various looks my trooper and companions will go through as we get newer and better armour… and I’ll also take some happy snaps of the local scenery for the family photo album, of course.

I’ve already put some thought into how I’ll be writing these log entries and have come up with different log sections to make things easier to follow. So here they are:

Can’t wait to play this game… it’s gonna be so awesome! But yeah, what do you guys think? Do you think it’s a good idea? Got any suggestions for me if you have ideas of your own you want to share relating to the Trooper Log?
