The community of
Star Wars: The Old Republic did not quite make the
Twitter and Facebook goals, so the developers decided to punish us by announcing another species that we will not be able to play. (Just kidding, it wasn't punishment.) In addition to spotlighting fan art and video, this week's
Fan Friday column mentions
Cathar as being another species players of
SWTOR will bump into on their travels across the galaxy. The feline species from the planet bearing the same name was first mentioned by name in
Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith, but gamers are probably more familiar with it from the other
BioWare game,
Knights of the Old Republic. Although the devs did not say where or how the players will run into this highly anticipated species, fans are hoping for a Cathar companion character.
As mentioned above, the social media goal was not reached. Even so, the community team did give the fans some gifts. The
Fan Site Kit has been updated with more digital goodies. New avatars, screenshots, and biographical images can now grace your
SWTOR fan site. Not to mention, the team has included
six new desktop wallpaper images straight from the exciting
"Hope" trailer.
Be sure to check out all of this and the amazing new fan art on the
official SWTOR site.
