Greetings and salutations, scoundrels and Force wielders alike! Today we’re celebrating the release of Game Update 1.7: The Return of the Gree. This update contains a brand new Reputation system, as well as a complete refactor of Ilum as part of a new, recurring event. Even better, the major contents of this patch are largely open to all -- both Free-to-Play as well as Subscribers get the benefits of the Reputation System, as well as access to the event.
Game Update 1.7 will introduce Galactic Reputation to all players. This is a new way for your character to advance in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. In a time of widespread conflict and political strife, disparate organizations throughout the galaxy seek allies in the struggle for peace... or conquest. Reputation measures how your character is perceived by these organizations it reflects the prestige you've earned through your heroic contributions to each cause.
GET READY TO HELP THE GREE - YOUR PROWESS WILL BE GREATLY REWARDED!
Adventure with other Level 50 players or journey alone to assist the Gree in their continual pursuit of information. Those who are brave enough to help the Gree will be rewarded for their service.
Events are available to Free-to-Play Players and Subscribers at no additional cost. Visit the Free-to-Play Features Chart for more information.

Hello again everyone!
It has been an amazing couple of months since my last State of the Game blog. It feels like a good time to jump in again and give you a brief rundown on how we are doing, what is coming up next, and to tackle some issues head on. Let’s start with some comments about now and the future:
As you can probably imagine, the launch of the Free-to-Play option with our new Cartel Market has been an amazing event for our game. The game is incredibly healthy with an ever increasing number of players who are actively playing (the servers are rocking!). Having said that, we know we haven’t gotten everything perfect, and we are still working hard to make The Old Republic everything you guys desire. More than anything we wanted to get folks back in and playing the game, and bring back the excitement and camaraderie - we feel like we've made great strides over the last 6 months towards these goals. All signs point to a very bright future for our game!
Things have been quiet for a while in SW:TOR for PK, but when patch 2.0 came out, activity has gone up again far enough to start up operations again.
After a few runs on nightmare modes of classic operations (getting a few people the infernal and unyielding titles), we set our sights on Terror from Beyond this week. During our first run, we managed to clear all bosses up to the Terror from Beyond, but weren't able to get him down.

Being a large multi-gaming community it's not often people get to mingle with others from different games, so it was decided we would all get together in a mutual free to play game which the only requirement was for you to pick it up and play. Although not completely free we decided that along with the steam sale of Left 4 Dead 2 that we would utilise our L4D2 server and host the community night on there.
