		<description><![CDATA[It was indeed :) I&#039;d been watching the comic and saw the contest, and entered it on a lark, never expecting to be one of the winners. :D

If I can get my hands on a free weekend key or something I intend to recreate her on the live server so the name will at least be preserved. Hopefully one of these days TOR may go to some variety of f2p or other circumstance that would enable me to play it. :&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh feel free to talk about SWTOR here if anywhere - I had been hoping you&#039;d post about your experiences once or twice more on your blog :).

And yeah, Aric makes me do things with just the proper amount of military efficiency. If I show the slightest bit of enthusiasm or too much mercy he&#039;s all disapproving glares, ha. I wanted to do the Jedi thing and be all goody-two-shoes but I just couldn&#039;t get into the kinda-melee-kinda-channeled-rangey stuff.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been playing rather casually once or twice a week and was level 45 or so when they announced the free month, and then 46 when they announced a 7 day window to make it to 50.  So i power leveled the crap out of it and made it to 50 so I&#039;ll probably be playing another month at least.  Okay off topic but I don&#039;t get to talk to anyone about swtor.

One thing I noted about playing smuggler is that I&#039;m way too eager to take a lot of the jobs available to me and I&#039;m way too boy scout.  Especially if I&#039;m trying to please my first two companions.  Corso doesn&#039;t like *anything* unethical, which makes no sense because he&#039;s supposed to be a criminal or at the very least on board to be a smuggler.  It took a bit of the fun out of story for smuggler for me but I did have fun.  Think i&#039;d have more fun on agent though.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Check out this post to see an artist&#039;s rendition of my Mirialan from the beta amongst the list of contest winners:

http://jedigambit.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/the-jedi-gambit-2nd-portrait-contest-winning-portraits/

She&#039;s the first portrait on the list. Also, credit to the artist for the dominant coat color. I had mentioned Firefly when we were chatting and that turned up when he colored the final inks! I felt slightly guilty winning a contest for a portrait of a character that only existed in beta, but his drawing is too gorgeous to feel guilty about! There&#039;s a framed one on my shelf now.

Thanks for the congrats on RA! I&#039;m up to 41 as of yesterday. Still only partway through the Klingon storyline, so I&#039;ll have a lot left to do when I hit 50. I picked up a Collector&#039;s Edition off Amazon and started a Klingon alt once it unlocked (or, actually, an Orion) and a low-level Federation Caitan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You made RA! Grats!! :D

And no, my Trooper&#039;s a regular brown human - it&#039;s just the lighting that makes her look greenish :). I came &lt;i&gt;thisclose&lt;/i&gt; to rolling a Mirialan though - I love their facial patterns. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is your Trooper a Mirialan? Having only been on the last public beta myself, I don&#039;t know if the headgear hides Twi&#039;lek headtails, so I suppose it could be a green Twi&#039;lek. :)

I played a Twi&#039;lek Consular at first on my beta, only for 4 levels due to the immense lag at the time. After I found a fix for the lag down to playable level (though still a little sluggish), I started a Mirialan bounty hunter and really liked her, though I only made it to level 5 before the evening ended.

BTW, Queeg just made Rear Admiral last night on STO. :) Amusingly, she actually got her final XP for it off a storyline mission (even though most of her advancement has been DO stuff), so I can feel like she made Rear Admiral for saving a whole sector of space from certain death in a classified incident rather than being promoted for successfully running system diagnostics and scanning for particles. ;)]]></description>
