“I think we would definitely do it over again given the opportunity, or a time machine. I think we can see a lot of things we could have done differently given the benefit of retrospective vision, but I also don’t think we would have changed many decisions. It would more have been a process of refinement and fine tuning to our plans.Certainly testing even more than we did, and doing so earlier would have been a good goal. I also think in retrospect we would have been able to weight some of our technical decisions differently given that we ultimately knew what worked after the fact and what needed a lot of work; there was no way of knowing that in advance, but in retrospect that would have helped quite a bit.” – BioWare’s Greg Zeschuk, speaking to TORWars on the difficulties of launching an MMO such as Star Wars: The Old Republic.

“We’re doing our very best to get it out as fast as we can. With a game like this, getting it all right, getting all the server stuff right is just as important as getting the game right. We’re trying, as fast as we can. That’s the reality. It’s literally live right now; we’ve been doing a lot of testing with a lot of people behind the scenes. The things you need to get done to ship this are very different from a standard game. This game’s launch is going to be one of the biggest launches ever in the history of gaming. Our job is really simple: making sure it’s great when it comes out. We’re going to do the right thing for the fans, for the product. It’s a big deal but we’re doing our very best to get it out as fast as we can.” – Bioware co-founder Greg Zeschuk on getting SWTOR out the door. (via Eurogamer)
