Update 1.1 LESS THAN 30 DAYS FROM LAUNCH AND NEW CONTENT!

Today we are excited to announce Game Update 1.1 for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is coming January 17th! Called ‘Rise of the Rakghouls,’ this is the first of what will be many regularly-scheduled content updates for the game.

There are a number of additions to the game with Game Update 1.1. One of these is a vast expansion of the already-existing “Karagga’s Palace” Operation. This addition will more than triple the size of the Operation as a whole! Playing through the expanded Hutt Hospitality Operation will test you and your allies’ skills against Karagga’s private army of bounty hunters and battle Droids before culminating in a massive final battle! Making your way through Karagga’s palace will reward you with powerful new gear, and even more extravagant rewards for those who take on the Operations in hard mode!


In addition to the expanded Operation, we are introducing a brand new Flashpoint entitled ‘Kaon Under Siege’. This Flashpoint takes you and up to three of your allies to the planet of Kaon, which has been decimated by a mysterious outbreak of the Rakghoul virus. Fighting your way through hordes of the twisted monstrosities, you will have to locate a small band of survivors and learn the truth behind the outbreak. ‘Kaon Under Siege’ offers players the chance to experience a gripping new story while earning new gear! You can get a sneak peek of the brand new Flashpoint right now!


Also, check out our new “Game Updates” page. Over time, we will be adding information on upcoming game updates here! Finally, Game Update 1.1 will also include a number of bug fixes designed to help make your in-game experience much smoother. You’ll be able to see all the details in the Game Update 1.1 patch notes, which will be posted on our Community Blog when the game update goes live on Tuesday, January 17th!

As I sit here with my family and watch the minutes and hours go past, I have been reflecting on a year of changes for Arcas Legion as well as a year of growing stability and growth personally. It's been an interesting ride over the last few years.

Many times I felt as if the ride downward would never end. Well it did end 2 years ago. They say that lessons learned painfully are usually the most indelible. So now I am sober and most recently working on my health more, things have been moving in the right direction in the last 2 years.

More than once I have needed some words of wisdom to help me focus and reflect. So I thought I would share a few toasts/statements that I have enjoyed in the year past. A few thoughts to ponder and reflect on this, the last evening of the year 2011.

Keep belief in yourselves!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Work for it!

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. ~ Abraham Lincoln

The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance.
~ Owen Feltham

Share your love!

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want. ~ Irish traditional toast.

Beware creepy old dude's with weird accents!

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. ~ Lord Alfred Tennyson

For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. ~ T.S. Eliott

Enjoy it while it lasts

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ~ Bill Vaughn


And finally... try to at least "pretend" to be humble.... a little anyhow...After all, no one can know it all...

There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in. ~ Will Rogers


A few names to think about as well....

Dennis Ritchie, Jacob Goldman, Charles Walton, Steve Jobs to name a few.

Bless those we lose to the past, Here's to those we meet in the future!!


Here wishing you and yours a Happy New 2012. May all your dreams be at least a step or two closer by the end of the it!

For the lore junkies:


The vornskr, native to the planet Myrkr, were a wild, vicious canine species that had the unusual ability to sense the Force. This ability evolved to help them hunt ysalamiri, but a side effect caused them to think that Force-sensitives were their favorite prey.
