Ex-World of Warcraft players are a great potential audience for the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, according to BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk.
“One thing you can say we’ve absolutely learned is, we’ve always respected Blizzard a lot, and I think our respect probably has grown after seeing just how challenging it is to make one of these games,” Zeschuk told Industry Gamers.
“There’s the continued success of WoW, but it’s also been up for a while. There’s actually a lot of people that have played it that aren’t playing it right now and they’re actually very open to MMOs and they’re a great potential audience for us.”
“You have to make a great game with the right content and social features – that’s our intention, to make people want to play for a long time.
“We offer a great service. We have a lot of people who’ve actually run gaming services for more than a decade; they’re actually on our team, and so having those people on board to actually help us launch our service and make sure that’s reliable and secure is very, very important.
“The ongoing plan for content and actually delivering new things and making people really see that we’re investing in it is very important, we’ll continue to invest in [The Old Republic]. It’s a long term game that’ll change and evolve and will continue to become more interesting.”
It was announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con that the MMO will last decades.
