Report: BioWare Honcho Leaving Star Wars: Old Republic Studio, Probably Regrets This Tattoo
Tattoos are forever! Well, sorta. Gigs at game companies? Less so. BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has apparently left BioWare Austin, the studio behind the beleaguered MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.
There’s Nothing To Steal: Why Everyone Hates The Free-to-Play Switch
I’m not proud of it, of course, but I’ve profiled others according to skin colour. You see, glowing, primary colour skin on a character in D.C. Universe Online is a sure sign of a free-to-play player, especially if they’re low level. It indicates they really didn’t give a crap what they looked like when they rolled, they just wanted to jump in and start stuffing their piehole in the free buffet.
Old Republic’s Got Some Killer New Droids (and A Killer New Trailer)
If you were at the San Diego Comic-Con, you may have already seen this clip! Since you probably weren’t, though, here’s your first look at the unveiling of killer droid HK-51 in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Back in December BioWare’s duelling doctors told us they couldn’t see their newly-launched massively multiplayer online Star Wars role-playing game going free-to-play in the foreseeable future. Then BioWare botched several free game updates and lost a good chunk of the game’s subscribers. Suddenly free-to-play isn’t looking so bad.

Old Republic Gets A Little Bigger, A Little Newer
An upcoming expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic will add a host of new features to the MMO, like a new “Nightmare” difficulty level, new compansions characters, new PvP warzones, new playable species, more high-level content and a new planet.
BioWare Unable To Give Straight Answer On SW:TOR Subscriber Numbers
“Subscriber numbers are funny things. How you count them — the maths you use — really matters and there are lots of variables to consider.” I’ve heard my fair share of PR deflections in my day — heck, in a former life I conjured a few — but this pearler, from Emmanuel Lusinchi, the lead designer on Star Wars: The Old Republic, is a doozy.
Star Wars: The Old Republic Expands Free Month Offer To Include Less Valuable Players
Yesterday BioWare made a substantial portion of Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s player base angry by offering a free month of play to its “most valued” players — those that had reached level 50 in the game. Today the developer continues to surprise and delight players by expanding the promotion as to not alienate people.
Star Wars: The Old Republic Petition Attacked By Hackers, Temporarily Shut Down
After amassing 60,000 online signatures for their petition in support of EA’s decision to allow games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic to feature gay romance stories, AllOut – a global organisation dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality — has now disabled the campaign page after a massive Spambot attack which has added almost 6,000 additional, fake signatures.
