Második Hullám!

Folytatódik a májusban megkezdett átszervezés a Bioware Austinnál. Több dolgozót bocsátott el a cég (pontos számokat nem tudunk), köztük Richard Vogel-t, a játék executive producerét. A hivatalos közlemény szerint a TOR elkészítéséhez szükséges ember több volt, mint a amennyi a fenntartásához kell, ezért váltak meg néhány munkatárstól:

As we announced in May and detailed at E3, the BioWare Austin team is refining Star Wars: The Old Republic to continue to grow the game and the service.
As with the launch of any MMO, the size and skillset of the teams needed to maintain the game is different than the ones that built it. Starting in May, there have been staff reductions in the BioWare Austin studio. Some people have been platooned to other projects at BioWare Austin and EA SPORTS/Austin. Others have been released – qualifying personnel receive severance and outplacement assistance.
BioWare Austin is currently staffed to ensure the continued delivery of new, high quality game content forThe Old Republic, and at a more frequent cadence. In the weeks ahead, we will announce plans for growing The Old Republic with new content, new players and new ways to play.
