Bioware gives insight into their top secret MMO at Game Developers Conference 2008
Posted on Mar 20, 2008 - 12:10 PM
Engaging, spine-tingling storyline in an MMO? Yes please!
Take all the great aspects of EQ/WoW type games and make them better? Yes please!
Add in features that take the game to the next level? YES PLEASE!
Even without a KOTOR or SW IP, this is a recipe for success if they can pull it off. It is rumored that SWG’s demise is imminent as their rights to the franchise run out in 09, perfect timing for another developer to pick up on where they left off.
There were so many excellent aspects to Star Wars Galaxies: deep trade skill professions, a living dynamic resource system, scalable community player cities and politics, spaceship combat, and of course lightsabers. If these aspects were combined with the wonderful aspects of the great MMO’s like EQ and UO, you would have what SWG was supposed to be. Let’s hope Bioware goes in that direction and takes it further with the fully immersing quest/story aspect that is currently lacking in all existing massivley multiplayer’s.
Star Wars or not, put the RPG back into MMORPG! I’m rooting for you Bioware!

When should we expect a beta???
By Brian on Jan 14, 2009
There were rumors of a 2009 release date for SWTOR. I don’t think that is realistic but I would be inclined to expect an Old Republic beta towards the end of this year.
