New Manaan Stronghold released for Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm sure you know this already if you play Star Wars: The Old Republic, but the new Manaan stronghold came out today.  Located on the water planet of Manaan, the house can be expanded 4 times and features a stronghold hook (hint: target it from the upstairs) and a glass floor so you can watch the Firaxa swim by your house (about every ten minutes or so).

The new stronghold brings the total maximum of houses you can own to 6, but I'm still not sure if the Conquest bonus has been raised as well.  Pricing for the new stronghold:


  • Stronghold unlock: 2,500 CC or 2,500,000 Credits
  • Room 1 – Interior Expansion: 1,400 CC or 2,000,000 Credits
  • Room 2 – Rooftop Garden: 800 CC or 975,000 Credits
  • Room 3 – Deepwater Sanctuary (South): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits
  • Room 4 – Deepwater Sanctuary (North): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits


I have not purchased the house just yet (trying to decide if I want to use cartel coins or credits), but when I do, expect a picture post showing off the layout.  A lot of people feel it is too small, but I toured a few on The Ebon Hawk and I think the size is really perfect for the sixth house and the layout is what I expected from Manaan.  The corridors are all curved (you will have flashbacks to kicking kolto barrels, for sure) and the underwater rooms are really gorgeous.

If you are interested in trying out the game, feel free to use my referral link.  You get stuff, I get stuff, it's pretty cool.  If you are on The Ebon Hawk and want to teach me how to tank Tyth, leave a comment!

Review: Soulworker, or, Welcome to the Grind

Soulworker is an anime action brawler, created by Lion Games and published by GameForge.  Set in a post-apocalyptic purgatory, you play one of (currently) four young schoolchildren who fell from the real world into the world of Soulworker.  The tutorial gives you the setting, which varies slightly for each character, and then moves you to the first hub area.  From there, you begin questing so you can get gear so you can do harder quests for more gear and to progress the story, using energy every time you enter a quest area.  The combat is a lot of fun, but if you're unwilling to pay - the current in-game economy is beyond ridiculous, and the premium currency is wildly overpriced - the game gets very grindy. The characters are the different classes, and the character designs are all very charming, even if they go a bit far on the 'females are to be looked at' side.  There's Haru, a broadsword wielding pre-med student who is apparently allergic to things coveri...

New Endgame Flashpoint for Star Wars The Old Republic: Welcome to Copero!

Welcome to Copero!  A lovely resort planet of the Chiss Ascendancy, with a dark secret.  This storyline for this flashpoint was written by Timothy Zahn, author of the Thrawn novels.  This is probably the closest SWTOR has come to being considered canon for years. Aristocra Saganu disapproves of your Jedi ways. Featuring the return of the influential and impeccably voiced Aristocra Saganu, from the Agent storyline, Copero is an exciting run through a beautiful world. omg god rays! Copero also brings back another Agent companion, Ensign Raina Temple - for better or for worse, depending on how your Agent felt about her.  I did my first playthrough of Copero as a Chiss Jedi, and for the first time in a long time, that made a huge difference in the story.  There are lines specifically for Chiss, and for Jedi, and for Chiss Jedi.  It is amazing. This place is prettier than Makeb, and that's saying something. Copero continues the dark storyline...
