I worked in Star Wars: The Old Republic for ten years. It's still running and the story is really nice. EA sold it to Broadsword.
You helped develop it?
I indeed did. I started working on it as QA and left the project as a software engineer. It was a really fun experience.
edit: I have a lightsaber replica to show for it. Lol
That's awesome! Thanks for making an MMO I personally have 500 hours in on steam. It's actually the MMO that made me open to playing MMOs, I hated the genre before because all I knew was WoW and Korean stuff that's all walls of bland text and dull repetitive tasks that don't respect your time.
The stories of SWTOR and full voice acting were something else entirely. I really enjoyed it and have some very fond memories of my first time playing it as a teen years and years ago, it basically absorbed my holiday vacation that year as I found a guild, made friends, got into some RP, and really just found some cool experiences. In a market starving for anything halfway decent that's star wars I'm glad we have it.
I request lightsaber pictures!
I also request lightsaber pictures!
I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I'm sure it will theirs.
I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.
As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it's original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.
I actually found it pretty soon after it went free to play, I thought I'd check it out and then BAM I've completed all class stories, maxed levels, got into housing decoration, and even have an unhealthy number of alts I'll definitely get around to playing through again someday.
I remember being so happy it was on steam largely for the auto updates. Seems it's been a very healthy success since then.
It's a great mmo because it doesn't have the grind and time Commitments.
It's not a 2nd job, it's just something to do for fun with a good story and atmosphere. It's what an mmo should be.
