Star Wars: The Old Republic still growing after strangely smooth launch

It's pretty easy to find out if an MMO developer is lying about whether or not the launch of their MMO went smoothly or horribly. Just check the game's online forums, or play the game yourself, and you'll know the truth soon enough.

At GDC last week, Gamasutra spoke with Dallas Dickinson, production director at Star Wars: The Old Republic developer BioWare Austin. Now that the game is about two and a half months in, he's been able to reflect a bit on the late December launch of the massive undertaking.

It doesn't make sense its growing yet. I heard its a great game until you max out your level... then its dead. End game should be the focus when making a MMORPG

It's a good game. It appeals to the older type gamers who were raised around Star Wars. The younger generations might find it good.

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.

The updates felt flimsy to me also. Stopped playing in 2021.

This game got a huge update last year didn't it with more content?

PapaBop407d ago

They promoted it as an expansion yet offered like 3-4 hours of content. The game is amazing and easily one of the best Star Wars games ever made but content drops are so few and far between.
