Growing player base, high quality service and new game updates drive successful start for this MMO from BioWare and LucasArts
Six weeks passed since the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the game has sold over 2 million copies, with a base of over 1.7 million active subscribers, BioWare announced. They said that the early success of the game was driven by the quality and reliability of the game's service, with servers being available for more than 99.5% of the time outside of scheduled maintenance. In addition, BioWare introduced new content by releasing Rise of the Rakghouls, which added new, higher level group content, less than 30 days after launch. The next game update, featuring even more content, new game systems and additional guild features, is scheduled to be released in Spring 2012.
