EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
If the game is as successful as EA are hoping it should almost certainly suffer from server problems. Hell if I was EA i'd deliberately create server problems and be quick to issue an apology claiming it's due to overwhelming amount of people trying to play at once.
What a load of crap. This game will have soul crushing lag on day one and the servers will probably go down at least once. Oh and you can count on Origin to fuck up authentication and various pre-order codes too.
It's the release date of the most expensive MMO ever made. What can go wrong?
BioWare have a plan for this, the actual release date will be smooth because all pre orders will already have been staggered into the game during early access.
Based on when you pre ordered the game you get access before release, they are doing this to stagger the log ons and not floo dthe servers on day one to try and have a smooth launch as possible.
I will be shocked if there are little to no problems though, every MMO launch I have played has been pretty poor or at least had 2 hour long queues to get on the server of your choice.
