The first thing that crossed my mind when I read the announcement about beta testing was: “I’d give my car to be in this!”. I started reading through the testing announcement thread and noticed I wasn’t the only one willing to give up something to be a part of the beta.

Yes I know, it is hard work and not just fun, but anticipation among us fans is so high that we’re borderline mad atm. It’s like holding a juicy steak just out of reach of a pack of wolves.

I’ve started a poll on the official forums with the same question. Visit here and tell me, would you give up a body part to participate?

Mythic Entertainment is a developer and publisher of a well publicized, but somewhat lackluster MMO based on a well loved and known world of Warhammer (no pun intended – I know the chicken and egg story in this one and I am allowed to make fun of it!). They were lately mentioned in the news since they took over the European operation of Warhammer Online from an outsourced company GOA. They are also owned by EA (used to be EA Mythic at one point). What does this have to do wih SWTOR?

Bioware, developer of SWTOR is also part of EA and they seem to have “NOM NOM”-ed Mythic so it is from now on known as Bioware Mythic (notice whose name is first here!). There was some talk a while back about the two studios becoming a part of the same MMO/RPG department within EA, but this was never confirmed. I guess that now they are not separate entities anymore. I hope swtor benefits from all the experience Mythic is bringing to the table and also that they leave all the bad stuff in some dusty corner in the old office.

So I am going through some tweets from a bunch of TOR related people. I come across this tweet by one of the SWTOR Community Managers. Apparently, there is a poll on the official forums asking who would win in a fight: Darth Malgus or Sean Dahlberg. For those of you that are not good connecting names to actual characters … Sean Dahlberg is the main community manager for the game and Darth Malgus is our main bad guy in the game, Sith Warrior of great power and malice and a star of both cinematic trailers released so far. Sooooooo … who wins – Sean or Malgus? Cast your vote here (if you have the official forum account, and if you don’t you should!).
