What you'll find here

Thoughts on Star Wars: The Old Republic from a fan who mostly likes to quest and group up with friendly people, whether it's for operations, flashpoints or warzones.

If you want to know more about me, click here to read about the person behind the blog, or here to see what characters I play.

Are you a new or returning player wondering how the game is doing? Check out my The State of SWTOR page for some helpful facts.

I've been blogging about the game without any major breaks since 2011, which probably makes this the oldest, most consistently updated personal fan blog about the game on the net!
