TASSY P2P FORUMS

BioWare's founders tiptoe around the studio's approach to creating massive RPGs. Massively online RPGS, even.

Mass Effect is a worthy topic indeed. BioWare was hosting demo sessions of the PC version at the Game Developers Conference today, and it looked quite slick. But pardon us if we don't choose to change the topic altogether when we get in a room with the venerated studio's esteemed founders. You see, BioWare has an MMO under construction, and while we were well aware that the word was mum regarding the particulars, we thought we might try to pick the good doctors' brains about the big ideas surrounding its development.

Doubtless many fans are holding daily candlelight vigils in the hopes that this MMO will indeed turn out to be based in the Old Republic era of the "Star Wars" universe. We can neither confirm nor deny that. What we can say with certainty, however, is that Drs. Muzyka and Zeschuk intend to ensure that BioWare's massive game will bear the studio's indelible imprint.
