Seriously could a staff member answer this?
Ubisofts Conference starts in 55 mins. I'd like an answer before then.

Star Wars:The old republic announced.
It is a massive multiplayer player game.
How can that be "announced" when it's been known for like 10 months? It was last summer when LucasArts confirmed the game and that it was a MMO. That would be like Nintendo "announcing" The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks tomorrow.
