:sy_republic:Guild Summit, The Old Republic:sy_empire:

|~ Monday, the 5th 2012 ~|

 

 

◊ Presentation :

 

Next week, representatives of over 150 guilds from around the world will be coming to Austin, Texas to take part in BioWare’s inaugural Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Guild Summit. During the summit, guild members will have the opportunity to speak with the development team, and see a preview of what the future holds for the game.

 

When the Guild Summit was announced, Bioware received thousands of applications from passionate fans who were willing to travel from all parts of the globe to take part. While they were humbled by the overwhelming response, Bioware couldn’t accept every application for space reasons. However, they don’t want any of you to miss out on the details either. That’s why they are excited to announce that portions of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Guild Summit will be streamed live!

Thanks for the thread! I'll be following it.

 

I'm mostly excited about the guild features talk. Really hoping for some concrete information on guild banks as well as capital ships.

 

I'm pretty much happy with the state of everything else in the game

As I mentioned to David Bass on twitter, I was up at 6am (EST) on my day off, to complete my chore list (The usual cleanup) so I can watch the livestream uninterrupted. Heck, I even premade my meals so all I need to do is plop them into the microwave :D
