Moitteva Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hello Torrick, Several people have asked about timelines in the Story and Lore forum. In our March 23rd Community Q&A Blog, more information was given out regarding the Timeline series: Pzljug: When are you guys going to finish the Timeline on the Holonet? Stephen Reid (Senior Community Manager): When the Timeline series was begun we weren’t entirely sure how many timelines would be needed to detail relevant backstory for The Old Republic and left ‘blank spaces’ on the Timeline that, we thought, would all be filled in with Timeline entries. Ultimately, we feel we’ve detailed all the relevant backstory required, so no more Timeline entries going back into earlier history are planned. However, we know how much players enjoyed the lore details, style and presentation of Timelines, so we’re planning to continue that with a different series (currently unscheduled!) which will detail other aspects of the lore of The Old Republic. We hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diviciacus Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 "Ultimately, we feel we’ve detailed all the relevant backstory required, so no more Timeline entries going back into earlier history are planned." This actually reads: "We wanted to finish them because they were pretty cool and lore is awesome, but we had to devote more time to working on the actual game so they got put on hold but then EA (probably underhandedly) managed to buy BioWare and they decided to axe the Timeline because it didn't hype up the game and directly profit EA's accounts." Sound tinfoil hat-ish? Go watch the timeline videos again. Notice anything about the corporate logos in the intro? Bioware... ok.... LucasArts (obviously)... then the video starts. No EA. They haven't made a new timeline entry since the EA buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfseeker Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 EA. EA. EA....by all appearances over the last decade or so, EA is poison to the games industry. Killing much of the enjoyment in their hunt for coin. What, Sims didn't fill their pockets fast enough? Someone should really take it to them econonomically. Just drive them into the ground. Teach those that would copy them a solid lesson of 'dont'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silimaa Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Awww.... I wanted to see the video on the Exiles... At least we got a good look at Ajunta before they stopped. (Because they always showed a bit of the next timeline in the previous one. As the next one should have been the Jen'Jidai the man in the center is almost certainly Pall.)
