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.
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.
Who is waging the public opinion battle between anti-gay “family values” groups and the video game creators who dared to allow same-sex romance in their massive new Star Wars game? The anti-gay crowd says the Star Wars defenders are getting help from spam-bots. (Would they be spam-droids?)
The fine folks at animation house Blur make some of the best video game trailers and cinematics in the business. So it’s a treat, as always, to be able to feature their work here on Fine Art.
BioWare has announced another free weekend for Star Wars: The Old Republic
Hey everyone, you know Bioware has another game right? A game that is also set in space in a massive cross media universe with a massively intense fan base. I’m talking, of course, about Star Wars: The Old Republic, and if you feel like playing it this weekend, you could check it out for free.
It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally got an official release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic in Australia. But why did it take so long, and what’s happening with those local servers? We caught up with Grant McDaniel, Senior Development Director of Live Services to try and get some answers.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is receiving an Australian release on March 1. The game launches in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore on the same day along with regional servers.
