BioWare has released a video teasing what to expect in the next update of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the highlight of which is the Legacy system.
In the Legacy system, you carry over your last name to other characters, both Sith and Alliance. This is, for example, the only way to have an Alliance race join the Sith. According to the video, this will allow players to have "abilities and powers (they) normally wouldn't have access to."
Other features to be introduced in the upcoming update will include a new PvP Zone, and a new way to rank players in a global leaderboard. Guilds will finally have access to guild banks, and players will also be able to customize their user interface.
Check out the BioWare dev diary in the video below.
