SWTORData was made because I saw a need for a game I love and continue to play.

Unique Tools

My goal with SWTORData is to build unique tools and features for the Star Wars: The Old Republic community.

Features like: an API for developers, tracking conquest and Dark vs Light scores*.

Working with the community

We all should want a strong community for SWTOR.

A community where fan sites work together instead of critizing or attacking other members of the community. No single can site should try to do everything, instead we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

I have actively worked with members of the community (both new and established) all with the goal of creating a better community and good resources for players.

API for developers

One of the first things I added after launching SWTORData was an API.

I knew it was important to create a resource that others could use to build the services they want to use.

This has made it so these creators can focus on what they want to create, instead of the requirement of trying to build an API.

This also put a focus on the fact that SWTORData will never and should never be the one stop spot for everything.

Links to other fansites

I worked with other fansites to make it so links to their sites are part of SWTORData.

When users search their links come up, and when relevant their links are pages for specific Items.
