My SWTOR Fifth Anniversary Blog Series idea/plan

So, right now I'm on campus, between classes and sitting in a corner (Like I always do because I am... who I am), listening to Star Trek Music (It's the fiftieth anniversary after all). And I decided I wanted to write a blog post about SWTOR's fifth anniversary. Tiny problem was, I had no idea what I wanted to write. Which for me is no real surprise, as I have incurable Writers Block. (Yes, I made that up, but it's what it feels like).

I had an old WIP post about the toxicity I see in the SWTOR community.  (Mostly on Reddit) Then I realized I am too old to with any potential fall out from that, and it wouldn't have been appropriate for the fifth anniversary. So. I thought about writing why I play SWTOR... and that snowballed into the story behind my Legacy characters in the game, my SWTOR YouTube channel, and my wishlist of things I'd like to see, both small and large either added or fixed in the game. However, it became clear that a blog like that would be about as long as War and Peace. So, like George Lucas did when he first wrote Star Wars, I took each part and instead of one LONG blog, I split them up into three or four (Depending on how things go) parts.

:POSTING/WRITING ORDER NOT FINAL:

Blog #1 - Solo mode Shroud/Seeker Droid and Oricon (I suppose this could be part of blog #2, but since I recently "soloed", IE, multiboxed the three 4-man puzzles in the final Shroud heroic, I felt like I wanted to write about that, and why/how I think they need to tune both Heroics to serve as solo mode for those that want to learn more about The Shroud, since he is featured in the bonus chapter in Fallen Empire; Shroud of Memory. (And...if people want to know more about the Dread Seeds.) As for Oricon, I was going to talk about why I feel like there should be a solo mode for the ending of the Dread War story. And some people may not like the idea, but I feel like throwing it out there.)

Blog #2 - My SWTOR wish list/reasons? (So, you know, QOL stuff, More KotOR Armors, ect.)

Blog #3 - The history and future of the Gallifreyan Legacy (Pretty much my RL reasoning behind the characters, and their in game history and information)

Blog #4 - Why I play SWTOR (This is pretty self explanatory.)

Now, I can't be sure i'll post this over the entire weekend, since i have to actually WRITE more than the layout I have.  I was thinking of maybe saving the fourth blog for December, when TOR's anniversary actually is. But, I might see what the reaction is to my series, and post it sooner.

Which reminds me, I need a name for this series, if you have any ideas, PLEASE comment below or tweet them to me!
