“Old Republic” Could Last for “Decades”

Gamers who buy the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic could really get their money’s worth.

Game director James Ohlen told Comic-Con attendees that it is “hoping” to see new worlds added to the massively-multiplayer online game for decades.

“Well, I can say that we have 19 major worlds. Then we have an indeterminate number of minor worlds,” he says.  “And our goal – this being an online game that we’re hoping is going to last for decades – we’re going to be, obviously, adding more to the galaxy map as the game progresses.  We want to add dozens of worlds. Hundreds of worlds eventually. In 2025, we’ll hopefully have 500 worlds.”
