Here are my notes and the most important news from the event
• Catch up with updates from the previous Producer Live Streams
Bioware hosted the now regular monthly SWTOR August Producer Live Stream on 11th August. The event began at exactly 21GMT. Hosts were the 3 usual suspects – Eric Musco (community manager), Ben Irving (producer) and Charles Boyd (creative director).
Full video recording of the event is available here. My brief video overview is right after the ToC.

Vulkk’s Video Overview
The video overview describes the notes I have taken during the live event. In the span of only a few minutes I have shrank all the most valuable information from this producer live stream and have presented it in the form of news with minimal personal attachments (it wasn’t easy :P)
State of the Galaxy
