Star Wars: The Old Republic Fan Friday is usually packed with a Corellian freighter full of information. Today, we have two freighters full. On the community side, Mos Eisley Radio answers some questions about running a SWTOR fansite. On the game side, concept artist Diego Almazan discusses designing the feel for the Sith Temple, and Executive Producer Rich Vogel answers questions from fans.
Mos Eisley Radio has been mentioned quite a bit on this site as well as the official SWTOR website. This fansite's focus is a news-and-opinion podcast hosted by Brooks Guthrie and Zach Brown -- even this Massively reporter has appeared on the show. When asked what makes Mos Eisley Radio unique, the hosts replied, "We do our best to avoid bogging down in the tiny details of each update, and instead use the news coming from BioWare as a basis for larger discussions about The Old Republic." Check out the whole conversation on Fan Friday news page.
Also, Diego Almazan gives us a peek backstage. He explains the details and thought process behind creating a tomb that also serves as a temple. "I wanted to keep in mind that this temple is as much an ancient prison for the dead as it is a tomb or necropolis," Almazan said the in the Studio Insider. Is this a clue that there may be something trying to get out?
Lastly, Rich Vogel answers fan questions like, "Will Consulars be pigeonholed into one role?" Vogel was not shy when he answered, "Consulars, like our other classes, will have more than one viable role to play. One of our goals is to provide players multiple options within their classes." As if it was in question, Vogel also confirmed that we will indeed be able to jump in The Old Republic.

Recently i think they looked at the fact that many mmo players are going to Rift just because of their excellent customer service and thus decided to participate on the forums a lot more.
Not im not saying Rift is 'bigger' game, as SWTOR undoubtedly has more sales possibilities, just that they took a leaf out of Trion's book.

At the same time they aren't working towards fleshing out the missing gaps about what we know of the game. Not only in their forum responses but their Friday updates. This is what, the 4th? update in a row which has been more behind the scenes fluff then anything.
It's not that fluff is bad, but the community needs something solid to work with every now and then.

I was excited in 2007... now, in 2011 - Im bored of this game and I havent even played it. Asked me in 2009/2010, and I would have told you "Everything is getting dropped for this game" but now? Maybe Rift will get boring one day. That's SWTOR's only hope.

TOR's devs have been speaking on the forums since before RIFT was even a twinkle in Trion's eyes. Don't even try to say TOR is doing something because of RIFT. That's just you trying to boost the ego of RIFT with claims that the next hot MMO is copying RIFT.
