“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)

He says the right things. Greg Zeschuk is a sound person. He’s also the co-head of BioWare, the world’s greatest RPG studio.
