If you have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the 1.7 update patch for the popular MMO ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’ then you should be happy to know that it is launching this week. 
 
The patch brings with it a multitude of gameplay changes, bug fixes and new content. A few of those changes include the new reputation system, a brand new event and more. The whole update will be made available after a system wide maintenance period on February 12, 2013. During this five-hour window, players will not be able to play at that time so schedule your real-life activities around it.
 
The developers have taken the time to discuss the new system and the new update in great details. You can check out all of the details below.
