Further insight into the wondrous world of Star Wars: The Old Republic whisked its way to us via a teaser trailer GameSpot posted about the Sith Warrior Class.
In this revealing tease, the Sith apprentice relives his training under his master and threatens the Jedi of the galaxy. Wicked lightsabers clash atop a bridge overlooking a glorious rocky canyon calling back to the epic duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Our ominous warrior effortlessly deflects blaster bolts from four enemies, sending the deadly plasma flashing back towards his adversaries. Then in a fit of Force rage the dark apprentice slams full-force into his Jedi opponent, tossing the gallant foe over the edge of the bridge many stories to his death. The armored tank of the Sith Warrior is not one to cross lightly.
As nail-biting as the trailer is, that is not all. Notice at 1:15 of this exciting video trailer, the Sith Warrior is driving a speeder bike. What does this mean? Are players going to have vehicles in SWTOR? We do not have the answer, but given the footage in this trailer, the answer looks positive. Continue after the break and judge for yourself.
[Update] The official site has added more to the Sith Warrior class page. Unfortunately, there is nothing about vehicles.

So because someone can afford a good computer and wants a game to have awesome graphics means they are not a star wars fan? I guess you don't know yourself as well since you call yourself a fan yet automatically label people that want better graphics as not true fans.
Pot meet kettle. Not to mention you can get a computer that would play anything with great graphics for around 800 dollars if you know how to shop around and build it yourself (which is easy since 99% of things are simply plug in the right spot.)

I agree with Joey. It's ironic that people complain about TOR's graphics, when WoW is the biggest Western MMO in the world and its graphics also look many years out of date. TOR is at least using its art style to make itself look better than its polygon count would suggest. I can count the blocks on my character's model in WoW, even on maxed out game graphics options. I can't say the same of the TOR character models.

Why is this game taking so long to come out? Is it really going to be 2012? The wait is seriously killing me......

It has been said many times by many Devs that the planned release is Spring 2011. Fiscal 2011 ends March 2011 for Bioware, so that may be the source of confusion. (I think it will be April 2011, but I don't have an concrete evidence of that.)

The problem were these sort of articles is fan speculation eventually loses the speculation and becomes "accepted truth". Even if the source is a screenshot from a video and nothing else. People build on this hype and if it doesn't turn out to be how they expected they complain about it. But then it all began from looking too closely at a video or screenshot and taking a detail out of context.
As much as I am excited about TOR places like Massively should really stick to TOR and leave the speculation to the hardcore sites. Regardless if those sites are right or wrong. Behing reported on a supposed MMO news site gives vehicles more credit. When.. again it's simply a freezeframe from a video. You can't take much, if anything out of that without knowing the full context

This ain't a news site, it's a blog. Many people make the mistake of calling the Joystiq network a news site when it's not. This ain't Gaming CNN, it's more like Gaming Blog That Also Reports News Sometimes.

Also I think it's pretty obvious this game will have vehicles and/or mounts, with or without screenshots and trailers to back it up.
