Mythic is a EA studio. They have one of if not the longest running MMO's out that still is played by tons of people and just recently had a xpac come out. Ultima Online.
Now if EA can have that kind of success with a game based the Ultima games of old with a company like Mythic dont you think Bio and EA will be able take SWToR and run with it.
Though I am a little disapointed in the space part. Was hoping for some more simular to JTL free flowing sandbox type of fighting would make this game perfect.
