Our Wish of the Week: Multi-person mounts! Awesome speeders like the new Desler we see in the Boston Cantina screenshots should really hold two people. Also, if no other player is hitching a ride then your active Companion can sit in the passenger seat!

(Let us know what your wishes for the future of SWTOR are and we can talk about them on the cast and feature them here.)

Anti-April Fools Actual Truth: For those newer to the Star Wars expanded universe, there are a series of books that cover “The Old Republic” as an era in Star Wars lore. The Old Republic: Revan in particular is an interesting lead-in to the current setting in SWTOR. You can find details at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_wars_books

Space lie of the week: With the Galactic Stronghold expansion, Agents and Smugglers will gain the Burgle ability. This will allow them to break into strongholds, ransack decorations, and rummage through your personal under armor drawer. This can be countered through the use of Guard Akk Dogs.

On Jedi Covenant, find Max playing as: Imperial (Max’z, Mhax, Mhaxs, Mhaxz) Republic (Maxz, Maxxz, M’axz) and Sema playing as: Imperial (Maurienne, Enne) Republic (Semaperdu)
