As many of you know, and the rest of you are about to find out, I’m a gaming junkie! I love games of all types. My biggest addictions are MMO’s and tabletop pen and paper D&D. Star Wars The Old Republic, better known as Star Wars TOR, is my latest fix.
With many years of gaming experience, along with a knack for exploration, tactics, and experimentation, I seem to come across all kinds of great little game secrets, spoilers, tips, and tricks. Combine this with a loathing for elitism and a love for helping my fellow gamer, and you’ll see why I built this website. DDM’s Realm is here for you, my fellow gamer, to help make you and our entire community, better players.
These guides are as up to date and accurate as I can make them. Unfortunately the nature of MMOs in particular means that the games always change, and rarely do we, the players, get the full details. So please, if you find errors or issues with any of these guides please post your thoughts either on the articles themselves or in the DDM’s Realm Forums. Help to keep this great community of players strong and informed.
Play smarter, not harder!
