Over the last few years John has played several MMOs, trying to fill the void that was created by his first experience with a Star Wars MMO world in Sony's Star Wars Galaxies. Having been told about SWTOR five years ago at E3 by a Lucasfilm representative, John has been following news on the game very keenly, working full time on SWTORFace.com from July 2011.

John's main passion at this time is SWTORFace.com, a site dedicated to BioWare's new game. It features new content daily on the site itself, plus a handy RSS feed of blogs and websites that are publishing content about SWTOR. Bringing it all together is a fast-growing list of information about SWTOR-focused Internet destinations in the Faces of SWTOR fansites section.
