The official New York Comic Con panel for Star Wars: The Old Republic has just ended, so we thought we’d wrap up all of the highlights right here in one place for you!

The panel consisted of Game Director James Ohlen, Writing Director Daniel Erickson, Live Producer Cory Butler and Senior Community Manager Stephen Reid. All in all, between the panel and the Q&A it was a good showing!

Credit goes out to the guys and gals at TORWars and Corellian Run Radio for their Tweets to help compile this info in real time! Here are the highlights:

Random: 200,000 posts per week on official forums

15 Flashpoints at launch – all the way through the leveling experience

Only 1 game, no secret game in the background (dig @Blizzaard)

New Operation involving the Hutts!

The 3 confirmed Warzones are Alderaan, Huttball and Voidstar

Collector’s Edition has access to VIP club at the respective fleets

Expansion is already under way (via comment by Daniel Erickson)

No “dungeon finder” re-confirmed

Extreme light/dark side points will affect appearance, but not abilities – for now

No player bounties, but has been discussed

Global release date is December 20th

New Gameplay Trailer – Signs of War

The gameplay trailer is obviously part of the Friday update, and I must say is impressive. We start to see a lot of the cinematic characters in-game besides Malgus, and the very end showcases what appears to be Ilum, and some incredible PvP combat with walkers and everything! It’s a must-watch!
