  • Daniel Erickson on Server Changes

    In an interview with PC Gamer, Daniel Erickson hinted at possible widespread changes to the way SW:TOR servers are organized. When asked by PC Gamer whether cross-server functionality would be available for the Group Finder feature planned for Patch 1.3, he had this to say:

    PC Gamer: Will they be cross-server at launch? Is that planned for the future?

    Daniel Erickson: They will not be cross-server as we are coming up on a huge move to servers with massively higher population caps than we have today.

    While this answer does not explicitly indicate that server merges will occur, it certainly hints at a new direction BioWare could be taking to help alleviate some of the population issues that players have been experiencing. How exactly this new direction will be implemented and what it will mean for players remains to be seen.

He also broadly addressed other initiatives the developers are taking to reassure potential players about The Big Day.

    What is your role at BioWare on Star Wars: The Old Republic?

    Cory Butler: I'm an Associate Producer at BioWare. My primary role is to serve as the liaison to BioWare/EA and LucasArts/Lucasfilm. I work closely with everyone to make sure everyone is involved with the creation process of the game. And then my secondary responsibility is to help manage our external testing and live services of the game.
