KOTOR MMO is “overwhelming,” says Lucas boss

[Mr. Hrm]

LucasArts online boss Tom Nichols has told VG247 that the prospect of bringing Star Wars: The Old Republic to market is “overwhelming” at times, but that the triumvirate of EA, LucasArts and BioWare is big enough to successfully release such a high profile MMO.

“Daunted? I don’t know if I’d use that word,” said Nichols when asked if the task he faced was a nerve-wracking one.

“I’m bullish, I’m optimistic. I think it’s a huge opportunity for us, and for BioWare and EA.

“It is, in a sense, overwhelming sometimes when you think about it, when you think about the amount of work that we have to do, and the amount of content that we’re building, all the things you have to have in place to successfully launch a large-scale MMO: that’s a lot of work, absolutely.

“But we’re all looking forward to the challenge.”
