GFW: How many of your key staffers migrated from SOE [which also has a studio in Austin]?

GW: I don't know that we have a count. Some from SOE, some from BioWare Edmonton, some from other companies completely. It's not like we had to go knocking. Experienced people want to work on a product that can be successful.

==========================================

Some of the devs from SWG NGE have been hired by Bioware to work on KOTOR Online. Given how much the SWG NGE devs screwed up on NGE in terms of game design and in terms of producing huge amount of bugs, I am worried that these same people will ruin KOTOR online with their incompetence and poor judgement.

Which devs were hired specifically? (names?) And what will they be doing exactly? (coding? design? animation?)

Will KOTOR Online just be SWG NGE 2.0 with even more bugs and even less fun?

i'm glad, i like SWG pre NGE and the NGE and i think it will be good for the new MMO to take a few things from the current SWG. we dont no if it is KOTOR MMO yet anyway.

 

also i heard somewhere it wasn't SOE that decided to change it to the NGE.

So now they'll make the NGE how a game works from the start, and instead of pissing off those who had gotten used to another system they'll be praised for their amazing design solutions and exciting gameplay.

Of course, those who were alienated by the NGE and think that KOTOR will be the SWG they first played will continue to whi... provide their level-headed and constructive feedback as anybody making a new Star Wars MMOG are naturally required to make the game specifically for these veterans. ;-)

KOTOR Online will be the same EXACT code from SWG.  Didn't you get the memo?  Little does everyone know but SOE owns EA, Microsoft, and the US Government.  This is why Smedly won't release the pre-NGE code to the SWG servers.  He is just going to resell it as KOTOR Online.

So long as Lucas Arts are involved, then yes.. its EXACTLY the same people responsible for the CU and NGE

Yes. KOTOR is going to be a re-release of the NGE. It's not even 2.0. They will just change some of the names, and a few of the models, and add some different quest dialog.

Otherwise, it's the exact same game.

 

SWG NGE devs have also infiltrated Barack Obama's campaign. When Barack become President, they will do an NGE on the American Government.
