Bioware Wants You to Keep Playing The Old Republic Until 2025

The hype is strong with this one.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

 
While there are plenty of MMOs out there vying for every ounce of your free time, Bioware wants to make it certain that the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic will be the one to keep your interest.  In a recent interview at this year’s Comic-Con, SWTOR game director James Olhen talked about the team’s intent to consistently add new content for the game.  In a statement taken at the conference, Olhen claims that the game will launch with nineteen major planets along with several other minor worlds.  According to Olhen, Bioware wants to make The Old Republic last a good long while by adding tons of worlds for players to explore for years to come.
