    Bioware makes a studio in Austin, TX - hires two top tier guys that used to be involved at the top level of SWG (Rich Vogel was Executive Producer, and Gordon Walton was an Executive Producer and Studio Manager at SOE).

    Plus I get beat with the big bad banstick at the SOE SWG forum for posting a link to some Bioware job listings.

     

    Certainly makes for good rumour fodder if nothing else, but damn there are some striking coincidences afoot. image

    No you should do it because you are a bore-fest. You made your account just to post those links in this thread, tells us alot.
    I've been a member of these forums longer than you have dumb ass. Let me guess, British right? If you had no comment on what and why I was linking that then you weren’t part of the original conversation now were you? STFU Noob

    British? No. And youve been a member longer than me...by 2 months add/take some change. If you want to continue this take it to forum mail.

    Bioware is not about to take over SWG, cause they already press released that they are working on their own mmorpg

    but it's for sure that Starwars Galaxies won't survive 2006

    no mather how many rumors you already read, I can guarantee that it will be shutdown during the next few months...

    poor subscriptioners, who got no idea whats coming their way and keep on wasting ingame-time

    shame on SOE, let's hope this company gets the justice they deserve one day.

    BioWare's press release states that they'll be working on "a" mmo not "their own" MMO.

    LMFAO How is that racist? Coming from numerous forums were Brits tended to ensue unnecessary flame wars such as yourself it was my assumption that you were some British tard trying to “wind people up” as they say. They were pretty proud of getting people pissed. Either way It just makes no sense as to why a link made you go agro. IDK I guess you have no life or you just wanted to start an unnecessary argument about something petty because you were having a bad day. I’m done discussing this with you from here on. Have fun playing with yourself.

    You posted the same link to the Bioware forums over and over and over, and im the one with no life? Go back to the swg forums so you can moan and groan there.

    Frankly, even if this is true, LA's involvement in the game will bring about the same problems and stumbling blocks the current game suffers. Perhaps Bioware will do better than SOE, but there is only so much better anyone can do with Lucas Arts throwing garbage into the stew.
    Fact is, SOE was not alone in making the decision to throw out the baby instead of the bathwater when SOE and LA "held hands and went forward together". LA was right there with them.



    Im afraid you are correct.  Its hard to see anyone doing well with it, unless they had freedom to develop it "their" way, and of course with LA and Star Wars thats never going to happen.   It must be a bit of a nightmare trying to develop a game when you have to run it through two companies channels.  

    Regardless, it is still a ray of hope in an otherwise bleak situation.

    Well, KOTOR and all that may be ok, but the real apeal in SWG for me was the concealed SW theme, presented through a complex MMO. Yes, it lacked that in-your-face Star Wars feeling, but at the same time achieved incredible SW atmosphere. Many will say it was a crappy game, but in many cases, it was the poor implementation that held it back.KOTOR and similar concepts are all great, nothing to bash them. But transplanting the same concept into a MMO world doesn't really work. For me at least. I'm sick of the linear story-telling, the driven narration. And if it has any semblance to KOTOR, then it will be all about jedi (nothing wrong with that, but while jedi is the principal story element behind the movies, it doesn't work for mmo). SWG and Koster's vision of mmos might not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least it gave a radical break from everything else. Looking into the future, I just don't see much alternative to the baseline that WoW set. Linear "kill x stuff for y xp" quests storyline, with carefully and controlled designated pvp areas, no persistent content apart from your bank (might be something else, don't know enough about WoW), but seems like too many are going for that concept.My opinion always was, that original SWG was a great MMO, set against the SW setting. Sadly, it got killed, without ever even attempting to fix it. That was the downfall, and unfortunately a great precedent for everyone making mmos, who'll avoid anything and everything it offered, for wrong reasons.The post makes sense, if it's true we'll see soon enough.

    Thats why it would be great if BioWare was doing this game over, everyone knows about BioWares history with LA about KOTOR, and BioWare made that game work. There is no way that BioWare would touch this game unless LA made some concessions to BioWare, maybe LA learned something from KOTOR 2 and SWG.
