Star Wars: The Old Republic game update 1.3, officially titled "Allies", is now available bringing those who still play many new features that fans have been waiting for, including Group Finder, Ranked PvP Warzones, Adaptive Gear, and new enhancements to the Legacy system to name a few.

“We are living up to our commitment in setting a new bar for what players should expect from a premium MMO service,” said BioWare Austin GM Matthew Bromberg. “In just six months, we have already released three major game updates that have added new content and game features that have addressed the feedback from our fans. And we are just getting started."

"By the end of this year, we are adding more Warzones, more Flashpoints, more Operations, more updates to the Legacy System, new companions, new storylines and more," he added. "We are very excited about the future.”

Here's what SWTOR game update 1.3 - Allies - officially includes:

Star Wars: The Old Republic went live last December and although it never lived up to the hype of "WoW-killer", it boasted pretty decent numbers. Since then, however, subscriber numbers have dwindled setting many into panic mode. Following layoffs at BioWare, many have assumed SWTOR has been struggling. Many are expecting the game to go free-to-play soon and while BioWare admits to exploring the option, they remain committed to the subscription model.
