The Old Republic Trailer Introduces the Classes

The pre-order system gave in to the temptations of the dark side, but this trailer has achieved balance with the Force.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

BioWare and EA are hoping to stamp out some of the fires that broke out after the revelation that digital pre-orders of The Old Republic will “likely” make it into the hands of those who bought them by releasing this brand new trailer. MTB still (generally speaking) remains both baffled and a little ticked off over that little tidbit, but damn it all if we’re not suckers for Sith, Jedi, Bounty Hunters, and those other classes trading blows. Take a look at the trailer and then make sure to reserve your copy bitch about how you can’t be guaranteed day one entry.
