Bioware: The Old Republic to Last Decades, 500 Worlds in 2025

Bioware intends for Star Wars: The Old Republic to last "decades." According to senior creative director James Ohlen, who was speaking to the press and the public at a ComicCon panel on Saturday, the studio intends for the game to last for a very long time.

"Well, I can say that we have 19 major worlds. Then we have an indeterminate number of minor worlds," he said.

"And our goal, obviously this being an online game, that we're hoping is going to last for decades, we're going to be, obviously, adding more to the galaxy map as the game progresses." We want to add dozens of worlds. Hundreds of worlds eventually. In 2025, we'll hopefully have 500 worlds."

There seems to be a lot of wishful thinking going on in that panel, so we'll see if the game even lasts until 2015. Chances are, we'll be playing Augmented Reality games by 2025.
