Oh yeah, International forums are here. I say this because its nice, it's stable, there ain't many .Comers on there and we need our weight thrown about a bit more, and it's looking like there's no change in the staff there either, at least with .Com's lineup. Good times. Help .Com out and use both!
iPBFree got pinched by the fuzz. We're chilling over here now, but I don't know if we'll be there for long or whatever.
With high levels of force sensitivity in a constant deadlock and no clear answer in sight, the fate of the Galaxy is entirely up to the people within it.

Schedule above.

You asshats missed a lot.
I will be updating you all with information as it comes through various websites such as TOR Official Website and Darth Hater.

First up:

Hope Trailer: New cinematic trailer featuring a kick ass montage of Troopers beating the shit out of Sith and vice versa.

View Hope.

PvP: Various planets will have war zones [BG's]. The first is located on Alderaan.

Space:

Every player, regardless of their chosen class, will get their own starship to command across the galaxy. Always dreamed of flying a Corellian vessel? Choose the Vanguard class when playing. Or maybe you've had some sort of sick dream where you gangster walk through the galaxy aboard an Imperial transport (if so, choose the Sith Fury class).

Of course, it would be pretty boring to have an entire galaxy packed with a handful of similar ships. To combat this, BioWare has created a robust customization package so that you can fully trick out your ship with premade gear sets or your own hand-picked items. Though BioWare isn't showing off the ships in action just yet, they assure us that there will be thousands of different variations so that each person can feel as if they have a unique vessel.


Live Action Demo: Today, 5pm ET a special 30 minute showing of SWTOR will be shown. There will be a live stream of the 30 minutes which can be found here. I will also provide a link to a recorded version, as well as the information provided in the video itself.

Update: The Live Action Demo was shown yesterday.

Combat - Much like SWG in terms of group combat reliance. If you decide to group with others in order to complete group-based flash points, your role has little room for error.

Classes - You see the Consular healing, the Knight mopping up trash, the Trooper tanking. However, there's nothing to defeat the fact that a consular could mop up, the Knight could tank, and the Trooper could heal. So don't freak out about player restrictions just yet.

Story - As you see through the multiple links provided below, the cut scenes are amazing. They also show multiple quest cinematics and the quest itself.

When you die, you resurrect outside a small med center building in proximity to your bind station. You spawn with all equipment in hand -- no corpse run necessary.
Blaine Christine specifically mentioned PvP acquired armor sets in his presentation.
The group size in our demo was four players.
You acquire new skills through class trainers in the main quest hubs.
Class trainers are labeled "Elite."
Side quests did not seem to be class restricted.
You cannot initiate quest dialog if a nearby party member is in combat.
Certain quest givers may be contacted via HoloCom, which works the same as a normal cutscene.
More, including character sheet statistics...

A trade command and Lobby chat channel are available, but upon activating them we received a message that said "This function is not yet implemented."
Chiss and Human characters both had a /dance action available, and the dance was identical for both males and females.
Multiplayer dialog system allowes each player to choose their own response, and an automatic dice roll decides the winning choice.
If you are in a group and initiate a quest dialog, the other members in your group have two minutes to reach the conversation point. If they don't make it, you have the option to start the conversation without your groupmates.
For non-instanced quest givers, the NPC doesn't move around much. Instanced quest givers tended to have elaborate cut scenes where they interact with the environment.
Mobs have a leash radius, and some did manage to evade us.
If you right click on an inventory item with a vendor trade window open, the item is sold. Values are in single credits with no fractional amounts.
Auto-run is available.
The taxi system was similar to World of Warcraft's gryphons. You pay a small fee and are transported from Station A to Station B.
The character creation screen was very similar to Dragon Age: Origins
The aggro indicator is blue when there is no aggro, yellow they are aware of you (mouseover status says "ALERTED") but not engaged, and red indicates in combat. The ranges for this varied depending on the type of mob.
For completing quests, you sometimes received items, money, alignment points, and experience points, or any combination therein.
For completing quests in a group, you received "Social Points." We don't know their purpose.
If a quest is instanced you enter a green portal. If you aren't eligible for the quest, the entrance is red.
All classes have a "Revive" ability, a 5s cast time, 10m range, no cooldown ability which can be used on a player or companion. The tooltip did not indicate if the ability is restricted to out of combat use.
You can inspect the gear of other players in your group from any distance, even if they're on a different planet.
You can inspect the gear of all other players in visual proximity. We don't know the maximum range of this.
In our groups the loot rules were "Round Robin" without a dice-rolling mechanic, and the credits looted were split equally among players in the group that were in proximity.
Loot was appropriate for what the mob would carry, such as a droid carrying a gun drops a gun (and often seemingly useless spare parts).
Personal Ships are described as a "base of operations" for the classes, groups, and companions.
Companions are seen in the "hanger," similar to the way that they are in the Mass Effect and KoTOR series.
A Dashade Companion and Human (looks like one of the lightly armored trooper concept art images) are seen in the background during the presentation.
Flytext seen during the gamplay hands on, works like scrolling combat text but more in the way of Borderlands where damage numbers pop out in different directions around the enemy as you damage them as well as yourself.
Preferences allowed for the customization of Flytext in similar ways of Scrolling Combat Text.
Preferences allowed for the adding of action bars, similar to the way they are added in the World of Warcraft default UI.

First and foremost, take a gander at this motherfucker.

Yeah, that's right. That whore is deflecting a saber by sheer FORCE OF WILL. Or just sheer Force, but whatever. Oh, and she's a Jedi using a saberstaff, so double points for that. Honestly, this chick is just a bona fide badass. I creamed myself over this.

I had goosebumps by the end of Hope, seriously. There was Revan and Jedi and soldiers and Bioware's team has definitely made it appealing to play footsoldiers. I'm actually really excited to play a Republic soldier of some sort now, which is totally bizarre. We're so overdue for a good Star Wars MMO that it's not even funny- just release TOR as is like, right now prs. D:

And hey, look on the bright side: if The Old Republic is a flop (HIGHLY unlikely), then Bioware has the cinematic skills to make a badass fucking Star Wars animated movie. Where were these guys when Lucas was dreaming up The Clone Wars movie/series?

I'm glad that you guys are enjoying the trailer.

A few things to clear up. Revan isn't in either trailer, they are just fill in Sith. I do recognize the familiarity between the Marauders and Revan's look, however.

If ANY of you have any questions that you want to ask about the game itself, go ahead and ask me, I'll continue to report any information I gather from the E3 escapade.

Yes, it will be like wow where there are pvp, pve, etc.

However, the servers are believed to be able to play from nation to nation. As in, ukers can play with americans.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The live feed for the half hour special for SWTOR begins in an hour and 19 minutes.

Of course it happens when I'm not here. D: Gonna have to find it on GameTrailers and watch or look for the G4 rerun.

I think the only thing that gets me about the trailer cinematics is that the art style contrasts greatly with the stylized art seen in the game. I get that a lot of MMO developers opt for more "cartoonish" art direction because it lends itself better to low poly counts and allows the lower-end pcs to run it, but it's holding back the MMO market in terms of graphics. Too many MMOs have garbage graphics because the majority of the MMO market uses meh-tier computers. Someone needs to put out a big, publicized MMO with awesome graphics to up the expectations, and nobody is better to do so than Bioware. I mean really- how many of you first heard of TOR and immediately made it your life's mission to be able to run it on max settings? I'm willing to wager it was quite a few.

God dammit I love the 501st. Brighten up every part of my day until I realize I'll never have that level of costume-making skill.

EVERYONE LOOK UNDER YOUR SEATS BECAUSE TODAY YOU EACH GET YOUR OWN STAR SHIP!

...Also, I am now in love with the Smuggler class. A lot. Just give me an insanely-difficult Force Sensitivity quest like in classic SWG and let me get a FS Smug so I can roam around causing trouble. C:

It is official that the release date is now coming in spring of 2011, it's not longer a target date.
Edit: More updates are coming in, 35 minutes until live stream of 20 minutes of footage. Link located Here.

Unlike yesterday, this IS 20 minutes of live footage, promise.

Also, a Daniel Erickson interview by Darth Hater that lasts 17 minutes long is a great vat of information for all of ya.
