SWTOR – A Quick Review for Lore-Junkies

Star Wars The Old Republic

Just a quick review before I get back to my usual posts.  I’ve been playing SWTOR since early closed beta, and I’ve been especially enjoying it since pre-release began.  (There’s just something about knowing your character is now “yours” and won’t be deleted after a few weeks.)

I’ll keep this short and sweet, since I know most of you don’t come here for reviews.  SWTOR has, quite simply, the best storytelling I have ever seen in an MMO.  Period.  If you love MMO’s for their stories and you’re not playing SWTOR then you’re not experiencing the MMO that was made for you.  It’s as simple as that.

A Question for my Readers: SWTOR?

November 30, 2011

So I have a question for all of you… If you’ve been here awhile then you know Loregy is technically a site about game lore in general; I just happen to talk about WoW most of the time since I know that’s what you enjoy.  For the past few months though, I’ve been trying out [...]

Wrathion, the new Earth-Warder?

He’s the most potentially awesome character WarCraft has introduced in years.  Wrathion, the Black Prince, the last black dragon on Azeroth.  An impressive title, but that’s not the best part.  The real kicker?  The Red Dragonflight used Titan technology on him, before he was hatched, to purify him.  So unlike Deathwing, unlike any other black [...]

Mists of Pandaria Lore

mists of pandaria lore

I’ll be updating this post as we learn more Mists of Pandaria lore, but for now, there are a few things we can surmise. First and foremost, Blizzard is obviously further sub-dividing the originally expected “Maelstrom” expansion.  This is a very big deal.  Why?  Simply put, it could mean we’ll have not five, but six [...]

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner & The Future of the Forsaken

I’m going to start this post differently.  There have been a lot of requests to discuss Sylvanas Windrunner, so I imagine many of you will be happy to see this.  That said, if you really want to understand Sylvanas Windrunner in our post-Cataclysm world, you need to read the short story Edge of Night.  Period.

Will Saurfang Return?

He’s arguably the most badass orc of them all.  Sure, Thrall can lay down some hurt, but when it comes to just busting heads with an axe (the way an orc should), it’s hard to beat Varok Saurfang. So when Cataclysm came out, what did Blizzard do?  They decided to stuff Saurfang away for safe [...]

Calia Menethil – Where is she?

[November 2011 Update: With the next expansion taking place entirely in Pandaria, it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to learn Calia Menethil's fate.  Suffice to say that the current speculation still stands.  We'll see her when Kul Tiras finally makes its appearance in WoW.] This is some pretty stretched speculation here, [...]

Where has Sargeras been?

Sargeras will be the final boss of WoW’s 5th expansion.  That I’m sure of.  But where has he been in the meantime?  The common misconception is that he’s dead.  That’s a load of bunk.  He’s as alive as ever.  That said, Blizzard definitely went out of their way to make it as confusing as possible.
