Mythic Entertainment will have a hand in SW: TOR photo

Relationships are built on trust and communication. We’re not so sure if all of BioWare and Mythic Entertainment were able to get to know each other before Electronic Arts merged them, but we do know now that they’re talking and it won’t just be timid conversation: Mythic will be giving input on Star Wars: The Old Republic. Go, go, MMO!

Speaking with Eurogamer, BioWare confirmed that they would be, “without a doubt,” receiving help from Mythic Entertainment in regards to SW: TOR.

"I think we always have lots of opinions to share, Ray and I," said creative officer Dr. Greg Zeschuk  "We've both played Warhammer, and actually I've still been playing it on and off for a while, so I think for us it's not to much a popularity boost as just the fact that we can probably bring perspectives to the table that will be new and perhaps helpful to the guys from Mythic in the same way from an online perspective they can certainly share with us.”

Sounds cute, right? Zeschuk went on to say that the Austin studio responsible for SW: TOR was a capable group, but they’re open to conversation. He also used the word “neophyte,” which we’re pretty sure has something to do with a downloadable puzzle game or something.

I can hear it right now, "Oh no! Mythic is going to ruin SW: TOR!" Mythic's got experience in the MMO business and knows the do's and don'ts in creating a MMO. So it'll be beneficial for Bioware to receive some help from them.

I'm on the fence about this. I think the problem with Mythic is their management of an MMO, not their ability to develop one.

I just hope they refine the models in this game so they don't look like Poser models

Mythic isn't going to manage it.

Oh great, here come repeatable quests and fetch quests. The only reason I think SW:TOR will succeed is because BioWare doesn't have any MMO experience. That means a fresh perspective on a genre that really needs it. Now with Mythic providing "input", I'm sure we are now going to see more of the same.

Boo.
