In our continuing quest to have all the people we met at PAX East on the show, we invited Eric Musco from TOROcast to join us as we talk about TOROcast’s beginnings, account security, and PvP. We also find out that Eric is a weird mix of good manners and touchiness in this week’s Sith or Jedi Test.
Fact or Fiction: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales? This week’s host challenge involves the UK gameplay event, Younglings, and Imperial Agent abilities.
From the Newsnet & Beyond: Roundup of the most important announcements and news.
- Fri Update 3/25: Jedi Armor Progression video. Is Kathy hallucinating or is she just more observant than everyone else?

- UK Community Event, London. Stephen Reid announces a surprise community gameplay opportunity.
- Friday Update 4/1: BioWare’s April Fool’s update may be a joke, but it still has some actual mini-reveals, says Stephen Reid. Larry Everett does a roundup of the gaming industry’s April Fool’s jokes in his article for Massively.
- David Bass gives encouragement to guilds who are having trouble recruiting during this pre-launch phase. He is less encouraging but extremely sympathetic in another thread devoted to oceanic guilds.
