Hi everyone - Rob Denton here, President of Broadsword Online Games. Now that some time has passed, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share some details on Star Wars™: The Old Republic and Broadsword. First off, I'm thrilled that the SWTOR team has joined Broadsword. During my time at BioWare, I worked on the game (and closely with the team) for several years and helped support the 2011 launch, so it's very near to my heart.

Keith Kanneg, as the Executive Producer, sets the vision for the game, and he’ll continue to maintain the relationship with Lucasfilm Games and Electronic Arts. Keith and I will work closely together to ensure that SWTOR continues to grow, thrive and be the amazing game that you all love.

I’ll let Keith say more about Game Update 7.4, but I see a very bright future for SWT...
