Foxtrotmikelima Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So as the title says. Im a returning player. I got into TOR when it first launched and played the game for a while til I kind of needed a break. At which point I didnt return til now. Now Im well aware of most of the storylines and how they end up. Even though I didnt complete the storylines for my characters. Ive done my best to stay appraised of what happened down the road. But beyond that I dont know what has come of the storyline since. I understand that with the game going Free to Play things have changed and the Rise of the Hutt Cartel added somethings to game including some storyline (or not this is why Im posting). Now as I return for the Free of Rails Space PvP Im under the impression that the Cold War is over and things are heating up. It be greatly appreciated if someone could catch me up on the overall galactic storyline changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrotmikelima Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Actually the Cold War ended between Act 2 and Act 3. Well now I just feel like an idiot...I was much more focused on individual player storyline development I never thought to pay attention to the bigger picture. I was aware of the Emperors death but not the end of the Cold War. Although now that I think of it...Killing an Empires Emperor is kind of screaming war.
