Get prepared for a ton of new info about the game.

It's been confirmed that the press embargo is being lifted and members of the press who have been playing beta will be allowed to publish articles.

In fact IGN are releasing a week long series of articles covering different aspects of the game

Ah sweet, hopefully lots of positive impressions to come then.
IGN's first article should go up in around 40 minutes if I've got the times right. I will be F5ing :)

[Edit]
IGN's beta hub
They appear to have some impressions and info on companions, crafting, pvp & warzones and the trooper class. Awesome. Will start reading some of this shortly!
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Thanks for the links guys :)

At first glance, Huttball looks like that something that could be great fun to do as a group. Might have to try and organise some parties when we get ingame!

In that case, if my conscience becomes a hindrance to me, then I will simply erase it.

The Media Beta invite apparently had some restrictions,
they could only write articles on the Republic classes
and only until each class received their starship.

:D

You didn't know I was a NINJA!!!!!!! :lol:

Yes basically they were only allowed to play Republic and were restricted to playing until they received the starship.

What does that mean ?

Well, you get your ship at the end of you class quest on your faction homeworld at around level 12 to 15 so they got to play the class starting world which is Ord Mantell for non Jedi and Tython for Jedi, then at around level 8 or 9 you move on to Coruscant if you are Republic.
