Star Wars: The Old Republic News - Pre-Launch Interview with Dallas Dickinson

Posted by Michael Bitton on Dec 07, 2011  | 73 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com recently got a chance to sit down with BioWare's Dallas Dickinson, Director of Production on Star Wars: The Old Republic to discuss Game Testing, Early Access, and what lies ahead for Star Wars: The Old Republic post-launch.

Will server names be released ahead of launch? The pre-launch guild registration system wasn't able to facilitate the RP-PvP crowd and I imagine this group of players would definitely appreciate being able to plan ahead of the chaos of launch day.

Certainly we’re going to be announcing them during Early Access, but I think we’re going to announce them slightly before Early Access, so people will be able to have some dea of where they want to go. I can’t tell you the exact timing, as that was actually up for debate as of this morning, when we would fully announce at least the opening list of server names. We’re not going to announce all the server names; we’re probably going to only announce the ones we’ll be running during Early Access, and then we’ll announce more as we ramp them up.
