SWTOR Looking to find out what’s happening in game? The SWTOR team publishes a monthly in game event listing each month, and this month’s is really really good. http://www.swtor.com/info/in-game-events?intcmp=sor_bwa-mkt-t-us-lp-117 In preparation for the upcoming patch 5.2, the SWTOR team has decided to help you gear up, level up, and generally speed up your progress in game. They are providing a 250% XP bonus (while leveling up) and a 250% command XP bonus once you reach max level. This will be starting Feb 7th and lasting through April 10th. So that will give returning folks, and players leveling up alts (to max level) plenty of time to take advantage of it. And for those with max level toons, this will speed up gaining CXP, which I know Max and Sema will be very happy with as it’s a constant topic they touch on in their podcast. Speaking of which SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 180: New Operation! This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-180 talk about the recent dev stream highlighting the new operation under development as well as a few other good things coming to the game in the next couple months.
