SW:TOR – Join The Empire!

Piggybacking on my previous farewell to SWG post, like most people, I’ve been following and anticipating Star Wars: The Old Republic with my old SWG guildmates for going on three years now. With its beta upon us, some of those old Warriors of Justice guildies are reforming, but this time for the Empire instead.

Back in the day, Amethyst the pink Rodian was born on Flurry and initially followed the path of the Empire. However, shortly after meeting Darth Vader and completing the Imperial Theme Park, she met up with some amazing people in WoJ, and they encouraged her to go Rebel so that she could join their guild. WoJ became her home and many of its members became more than guildmates – they also became friends. Friends who even attended my real life wedding in 2008. Many of us have kept in touch over the years since leaving SWG, and recently some of the old veteran members that built WoJ from the ground up have banded together and have decided to play for the Empire this time around. We joined up with a former “foe” from back in our SWG days, The Durmanhoth Clan, a Sith SW:TOR guild. It’ll be refreshing to play the other side this time around, and Amethyst will get to go back to her Imperial roots. There’s no better clan of imps to join. DC was our big rival back in the day on Flurry, and were an impressive force to be reckoned with. Though we were on opposite sides back then, I had mad respect for DC, and my entertainer even played at the Overlord and Dark Queen’s wedding ceremony, a huge in-game event. Now we’ll smash the rebellion together.

Anyway, I am still on maternity leave these days, though I could make a pretty good argument for my newborn being MORE than a full-time job! I don’t have a lot of time for gaming right now, but am still gearing up to have fun with my old SWG buddies in SW:TOR when I can. If you’re interested in joining a top notch group of great people, check out The Durmanhoth Clan.

Hope to see you in SW:TOR. For the Empire!
