What makes Star Wars: The Old Republic unique?
Traditionally, MMOs are built on three pillars: exploration, combat, and progression. At BioWare and LucasArts, we believe most MMOs ignore an important fourth pillar: story. Our mission is to create the best story-driven games in the world, and we believe that the compelling, interactive storylines in The Old Republic are a significant innovation in the MMO genre. The Old Republic intends to offer the best the MMO genre can produce. We have taken care to ensure that we improve on all the familiar hallmarks of the MMO genre while adding innovative new systems and gameplay. In The Old Republic, every character class has its own story, unique companion characters that join and assist the player, and even thrilling space combat and player starships! The Old Republic combines meaningful choice, story, and compelling design to deliver a groundbreaking MMO experience.
