We'll be sure to continually update this post as more SWTOR news comes out of the convention, which runs until August 21.

UPDATE: More TOR news coming out of Gamescom includes the introduction of the Huttball Player vs. Player Warzone. SWTOR.com provides a new trailer that you can view here along with the following description:

"In a time of turmoil where two mighty armies ready themselves, many citizens of both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire have begun to look for an escape from the uncertainty of impending war. For many people on Nar Shaddaa this escape can be found in the gladiatorial confines of ?The Pit,? where two teams compete in a violent game for the amusement of Giradda the Hutt and thousands of spectators!

We are excited to reveal ?Huttball,? one of the Player-vs-Player (PvP) Warzones in Star Wars?: The Old Republic?! Watch the video to see how the game is played and be sure to check back to SWTOR.com for the latest news and updates!"

Forging ahead, PCGamer.com dives into the accessibility of raids in The Old Republic and IGN has a nice overview write-up on TOR's presence at GamesCom.

TechSpot.com reports that EA will be limiting digital and retail copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic, whenever it is released, in order to create a smooth launch without servers crashing.
