BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a new free-to-play digital expansion this summer. It's called Galactic Strongholds, and as the name suggests, it allows you to expand your influence by acquiring and customizing personal houses, called Strongholds.
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
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.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
Lots of people (and some friends of mine) Will be happy to hear this!
They're still throwing money into that?
Its a nice addition, but SWG still did this better. Sure, it didn't look as good (being over ten years old) but you were free to put your house nearly anywhere on planet and could decorate it any way you like. Same went for the ships.
For all its faults (and it had many) SWG was way ahead of its time. I would have taken SWG 2 over fully voiced dialog in a heartbeat. Just bugs me that a game with a fraction of the budget and over ten years old had far superior mechanics than a newer game with one of the highest budgets of all time. You'd think think the SWTOR space expansion could at the very least match SWG's, but it hardly comes close.
Don't get me wrong, KOTOR fans probably outnumber SWG fans by a lot and in that way SWTOR is great.
