Electronic Arts may be bragging about the sales and subscription numbers for its recently launched MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, but apparently not everything in the galaxy is good. Today I received the e-mail above begging me to log back in to The Old Republic on behalf of my imperial agent's favored companion, Kaliyo.

For the record, my Old Republic account is still active; I just haven't had time to log in over the last three or four weeks. While it totally makes sense for EA and BioWare to use story appeal to pull players back in, I can't help but feel a little creeped out by this. I mean, yeah, I kind of miss Kaliyo, but she's just a character...right?

Damn it, I'll log on tonight. You win, EA.
