Where can I find out more on the NEW STAR WARS "THE OLD REPUBLIC" game?

Honestly, I can't find anything on the LA or BW sites. Nothing on the inter-webz....nothing!!!!! Did this game even happen?

    Short answer: No.

     

    There is a thread here in the Rumor room. More information than you will likely find anywhere else.

    well they need to hurry up. It's not good to announce a game with nothing to show for two year worth of work. Why say anything at all if you never intended to release details?

    You can't.  Some people took a single one line quote from somewhere and its now morphed into discussions about what game features the game will have. (based entirely on people's opinions)

    They did not "announce" it.

     

    EA's president let something slip which has been taken as some sort of confirmation that the game is being made. NO announcement has been made by the companies. NOTHING.

     

    And they have been working on it for far longer than 2 years.

    Many would conclude that "LETTING SOMETHING SLIP" is nothing short of an official announcement. Especially when it comes from the prez himself!

    Which makes it quite obvious they want to make their game , without hearing  anyone's two cents on the matter. Bioware is smart here IMO , With no information on what the game is , How it will function etc...they avoid outside pressure , Most likely creating a much more focused development path .

    longer than 2 years? Damn this thing had better be good. BTW how long has it been in development?

      Two years is nothing when it comes to producing a mmo.

    Wasn't SWG like 7-9 years of development?

    so how long has this one been under the knife? When will we see the release?

    Well the rumors started back in 05 early 06 , At the time Biowares official word was they had been underway for quite some time by that point. SO your guess is really as good as mine ,2-3 maybe 4 years would be my guess.

    Buddy ol pal. Take a look at the Bioware website. Has a specific section saying in development, and in that section it says a MMO is being made, no confirmation on it being star wars but really its a bit obvious. Probably around 70% chance it would be a Star Wars mmo.

    You simply said an official announcement of an mmo. But personally i changed my mind, considering mass effect was a big hit, Star Wars has about 45-60% chance of getting another mmo.
