I'm too busy role-playing in Guild Wars to play any other MMORPG!

Hah! Now the motivation behind EA's generous buyout of Bioware's parent company becomes painfully obvious. Bioware was already an amazingly successful developer but the knowledge that they were about to make the jump into the MMO arena must have made the klaxon alarms in EA's accounting dept. go into overdrive. EA has made little effort to make a serious dent in the MMO market since the phenomenon known as World of Warcraft exploded onto the scene. EA's suits must be bitter and desperate to cash in on this gravy train as witnessed by their dropping a ton of cash to buy Mythic in 2006 when the early buzz on its Fantasy Warhammer based MMO was extremely positive.

Now that EA has a potentially explosive Star Wars MMO being developed by an amazingly popular and successful developer (Bioware) under its roof they're poised to experience revenue streams in 2008/2009 that would make any suit cream his custom tailored trousers.

But isn't there a Star War MMORPG already? Wouldn't that bring up issues with liscencing or something?

no Sony holds the rights to the time period during the movies which this game wouldnt be in

Mixed blessing here i have to say Lucasarts are mostly to blame for the poor state of affairs of SWG and they wont let anything star wars out of the door without sticking their noses into it

Yeah, Star Wars Galaxies. but Bioware and EA are sure to look for anyone great Star Wars title and redeem the RPG from the flop of KOTOR 2. Shame they changed publishers for that cause Bioware did an awesome job on the first game but the second was quite an embarressment. I am really looking forward to what the storyline, characters and graphics will look like.
