Intergalactic Intel: Ilum
I stared at a lagging computer screen. I was averaging maybe 3 frames per second.

That’s Not a Leprechaun Waiting for a Pot of Gold!
This is a common sight on the planet Ilum. You’ve just battled your way through enemy forces in hopes of obtaining some sort of epic reward. But when you reach the end of the dark tunnel you find a level 11 character using a 3rd party program to “AFK” loot the security chest that spawns [...]

TOR TV: REAL World PvP on Ilum Patch 1.1
