TOR: Guild Alignment & Companion Characters

Posted By Mike on September 24, 2011

Besides the big news of the late December 2011 release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic, SWTOR.com has a few other updates that may be of interest for those eagerly awaiting the game.

First up, the official TOR site has released their latest developer dispatch video which dives into details, and the importance of, companion characters. Going along with the dispatch video is the new developer blog, Companion Characters Update - Part 1 from Senior Game Designer William Wallace.

And what may classify as bigger news for future Star Wars: The Old Republic gamers is the commencement of guild alignments. From SWTOR.com:

"Back in March we initiated our Pre-Launch Guild Program, where members of the Star Wars?: The Old Republic? community could search for already established guilds or register one of their very own through the Guild Headquarters page. We are thrilled to announce that we have begun the second phase of our Pre-Launch Guild Program!

With Phase 2: Alignment, we are introducing new features which allow guilds to set their allegiance with other guilds in The Old Republic. Now a guild leader, along with members who have the proper permissions, can select up to three guilds as either Allies or Adversaries, depending on their faction affiliation. Qualifying guilds that are marked as Allies and Adversaries of other guilds will have the highest chance of being placed in the game together, allowing these guilds to coexist on the same server.

Another feature being implemented with Phase 2 is the ability for guild leaders and members with the proper permissions to invite friends to join their guild via email. You can start recruiting new members today!

To learn more about guilds in The Old Republic, check out the Guilds Game System page for details, and to search for or join a guild, visit the Guild HQ now! Also be sure to visit the Guilds FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions."

And pre-order TOR sales continue to prosper as PunchJump.com reports that the Collector's Edition is back up at the #1 spot for Best Buy online sales.
