Excessive use of "Fair Play" by the republic! 20 yards!

Well the beta weekend has concluded over at BioWare, and over the weekend a few of us from Blistered Thumbs and from the test-version of the Disciples of Hatred got together to have ourselves a little PvP fun. If your curious as to how PvP is going to look in The Old Republic, you might well enjoy a glance onward! I will stress for the record however, I’ve been unable to get my multi-button mouse to work inside SWTOR, so you’ll hear some furious clicking skills from time to time. You’ve been warned Hardcore PvP Fans. So stay tuned, we’ve got 3 parts of PvP madness and a look at each Warzone available in the Old Republic.
