STAR WARS™: THE OLD REPUBLIC™ CONTINUES METEORIC RISE IN BECOMING THE LATEST ONLINE PHENOMENON
Growing Player Base, High Quality Service and New Game Updates Drive Successful Start for the Critically-Acclaimed MMO from BioWare and LucasArts
Austin, Texas – February 1, 2012 – Just six weeks after launching one of the most anticipated videogames of all time, BioWare™, a Label of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), is continuing to set new standards in online games with Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Already the fastest growing subscription MMO ever, Star Wars: The Old Republic has sold over 2 million copies, with a thriving base of over 1.7 million active subscribers, as gamers around the world have immersed themselves in the story-driven, online Star Wars universe from BioWare and LucasArts. Helping drive The Old Republic’s early success has been the quality and reliability of the game’s service, with servers being available for more than 99.5% of the time outside of scheduled maintenance. BioWare has also delivered on the promise of continually adding new content by releasing Rise of the Rakghouls, which added new, higher level group content, less than 30 days after launch. The next game update, featuring even more content, new game systems and additional guild features, is scheduled to be released in Spring 2012.
“We’re truly honored and humbled by the incredibly strong support from our players who are enjoying Star Wars: The Old Republic,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder of BioWare and General Manager of EA’s BioWare Label. “Our entire team worked very hard over the holidays to deliver a smooth experience at launch, and the resulting response to the game from our fans and critics has been exceptionally gratifying.”
Added Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder of BioWare and General Manager of the BioWare MMO Business Unit: “But we’re not resting! We’re actively listening to our community for ongoing feedback to help us ensure the game and service continue to improve, and we’re working to deliver spectacular new high quality content on a regular cadence going forward.”
Player engagement for Star Wars: The Old Republic has not slowed since launch, as the community achieved the following incredible gameplay milestones in just over one month since launch:
•Over 239 million in-game hours, or over 332,000 months and over 27,000 years of in-game time
•Over 20 billion NPCs killed
•Over 148 billion credits spent
Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the most critically acclaimed MMOs of all time, having won MSNBC’s “Game of the Year” award, “Editor’s Choice” awards from IGN, PC Gamer and “Best MMO of 2011” awards from Game Informer, Gamespy.com, Massively, Ten Ton Hammer and more. The game is set thousands of years before the classic Star Wars movies, with the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire locked in the middle of an epic, galactic war. Players choose one of eight iconic Star Wars character classes, including the Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Trooper, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent, becoming the hero or villain of their own personal Star Wars saga.
Included with the purchase of every copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic is 30 days of access to the game, after which players can continue to play through subscribing* at either $14.99 per month, $41.97 for 3 months ($13.99 per month), or $77.94 for six months ($12.99 per month).

We all knew BioWare was taking a big risk when the company decided to provide voice overs for every Star Wars: The Old Republic NPC conversation. The sheer amount of voice overs in the game is astonishing, especially when considering the fact that the dialog varies between light/dark options, classes, and even races and genders at times. In fact, apparently SWTOR has now set a Guinness world record for being the largest entertainment voice over project ever. This record will appear in the Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition.
When interviewed for the award, it was said that SWTOR boasts over 200,000 lines of recorded dialogue. For those of us who have been playing the game, yeah, that sounds about right. While questing, there’s a virtual truck load of conversation. The voice overs add to the enjoyment of the story for most players. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that story is the game’s strongest feature. The whole leveling experience is similar to BioWare’s single-player RPG experience, and those of us who love their other games have been deliciously immersed in leveling in SWTOR.

For those of you who have waited for years for a good Star Wars MMORG the wait is over. Launching just before Christmas SWTOR has amazed from the start with its breathtaking storylines and unique additions to the MMORG market. Many CoD have already tried this game and many more are amassing together on one server ( information located in forums ). Jump in on the Republic side and see what its all about. Look for Sojourne and his yellow lightsaber.
