EA and LucasArts to take on WoW with Star Wars MMO
Posted on Friday, 24 October 2008 by Speed, source: Videogaming247
Games president Frank Gibeau was at the LucasArts HQ this week and he said that the idea is to take on World of Warcraft, the world's most popular MMO.
“Just look at the base of Star Wars fans, plus what BioWare can do. Trust me: we want to win. EA’s reputation is for wanting to win.
“This is going to be a powerful category and there’s lots of ways to compete in this category. [Blizzard] created a much larger opportunity for everybody else, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay that way.”
LucasArts online boss Tom Nichols agreed with that, stating that Star Wars is the key to exceed WoW's 11 million subscribers number:“This is going to be a powerful category and there’s lots of ways to compete in this category. [Blizzard] created a much larger opportunity for everybody else, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay that way.”
“I think this game has that potential, with a premiere developer behind it; with a clear differentiating feature being story and something that’s very compelling, and being a feature that’s true to BioWare’s expertise as well as the Star Wars brand; plus the power of the Star Wars brand, which is still doing very, very well 30 years after it started,” he said.
“The opportunity is there for us to do that.”
I would like to remind everyone that EA tried to compete with that little Icelandic developer called CCP Games, who created that small MMO called EVE Online, and failed miserably.“The opportunity is there for us to do that.”

As far as this new one, I definitely won't be buying it on launch.

Or how about when Sony Online produced that piece of shit StarWars Galaxy. A lot of hype that did not deliver. As far as this new one, I definitely won't be buying it on launch.
