I really have to hand it to the devs. This is the 3rd or 4th patch this week, all to address issues deemed fairly important. I love how active they’re being to squash all the bugs that can’t help but creep up on such a huge title.

1.0.2c Patch Notes - 1/6/2012

General

• Fixed an exploit that could allow players to receive more items than intended via in-game mail.
• Resolved an exploit when selling items.

Flashpoints and Operations

• • Fixed an issue that prevented players from entering the Operation.

Karagga’s Palace

Hello, all! New year, new goals! I actually had a post ready to go on January 1 to kick off the new year with a blogging BANG…. and then realized that my version of WordPress on here isn’t very friendly to my Kindle Fire. Lame.

I may have to look into getting a free WordPress blog and then linking it to this address. Same bloggy goodness, none of the manual maintenance. We’ll see!

Anyway, since I lost that post I’m just going to cheat for this one and post the TOR Patch Notes from the last couple of days. Some good changes have been coming, and I’m happy to see the Devs still working hard on bug-squashing.
